SUMMARY:Theraplay® 2 day group training
DESCRIPTION:Theraplay is an attachment based\, trauma-informed method of interacting with children. Theraplay is adult-directed\, structured play that incorporates playful\, cooperative and nurturing activities that enhance the emotional well-being of children.\nTheraplay is beneficial to all children\, not just those with behavioural\, emotional or developmental problems. Workers with children create an atmosphere of fun\, caring\, acceptance and encouragement which allows the child to grow socially\, emotionally and intellectually. Theraplay has been accepted by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration as an evidence-based practice and can be done with an individual child and her caregiver or a worker\, in families or with groups of children in pre- schools\, and Primary and Secondary schools. \nUnlike other play group approaches\, Theraplay learning takes place on a non-verbal level. Instead of talking about positive social behaviour\, the group leaders and children EXPERIENCE positive social interaction. Gradually\, positive messages from the groups become a part of the child’s internal sense of himself.\nThe Theraplay approach can very quickly and dramatically improve the quality of the classroom or other group setting and provide teachers\, counsellors and therapists with resources to maintain an emotionally positive and cognitively enriched environment.

SUMMARY:Reed Webinar Series: An introduction to PANS and PANDAS
DESCRIPTION:– PANS (Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome)\n– PANDAS (Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infections) \nJoin Tina Coope from PANS PANDAS UK as she provides an overview of these conditions\, how they affect children and young people and what education professionals can do to help identify and support those struggling with these conditions. \nPANS and PANDAS are post-infectious autoimmune and neuro-inflammatory conditions that impact both physical and mental health. They can be triggered by common infections like strep throat\, chickenpox\, or influenza and require diagnosis by a medical professional. Whilst PANDAS predominantly affects children\, typically between the ages of 3 and 13\, PANS can also occur in adults\, and symptoms can persist beyond age 16. \nBoth conditions are known for their relapsing and remitting nature\, with symptom exacerbations colloquially referred to as flares. Despite recognition by the NHS and increasing awareness\, many families struggle to access diagnosis\, treatment and tailored educational supports for their children and young people. \nWith ongoing efforts to establish Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) and NHSE endorsed clinical guidelines\, guidance for Local Authorities and a UK-wide surveillance study\, early intervention and awareness across education\, health\, and social care is crucial to improving outcomes for affected children\, young people and their families.

SUMMARY:The psychology of Autistic burnout: for educational and school psychologists
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is specifically tailored to the needs of Educational Psychologists (worldwide). It focuses on how we can identify autistic burnout in young people\, how we can support families and educational settings to put in place targeted support (especially as research shows there are specific needs\, unique to this cohort)\, and implications for writing Psychological Advice for a young person who has experienced autistic burnout. \nYou will leave the session confident in exploring autistic burnout as a hypothesis in your work with young people\, and confident in implementing evidence based strategies for those young people either in or recovering from autistic burnout. \nThe session includes a live Q and A with Joanne. Joanne is a neurodivergent Educational Psychologist\, who specialises in neuro-affirming practice and candidly shares her lived experience. Joanne is a member of the Autistic Burnout Network – a group of international multi-disciplinary professionals\, with expertise in this topic. Joanne has spoken to crowds of 1000 delegates\, on the topic of autistic burnout. \nThe session is recorded and you will have access to the recording for 28 days\, to watch at a time convenient to you.

SUMMARY:Sensory Attachment Intervention foundation module (Part one)
DESCRIPTION:This three-day course will look at the theories that provide the framework for SAI. Emphasis will be on the impact of trauma on sensory processing\, and on the capacity for self and co-regulation. Participants will learn the neurosequential approach to intervention; that is\, when it is most effective to use interventions such as narrative work\, play therapy\, and education. They will learn the principles of up-regulation and down-regulation to enable physiological adaptation for social engagement and academic learning. \nThe foundation module is taught in two parts\, Part 1 and Part 2. Each part is also a stand-alone course and can be done in any order.\nBoth parts have to be completed before proceeding on the training pathway and attending other SAI courses.

SUMMARY:EP Reach-Out webinar - Understanding the views of children with complex learning and communication needs with Dr Kate Farmer
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, I will tell you about my doctoral research exploring how adults understand the views of children with complex learning and communication needs who are not yet using a formal communication system. I will tell you about my work with one special school and how I took a social constructionist perspective to explore the relationship between child and adult as communication partners when an adult infers meaning and interprets a child’s communicative intent. I will offer some practical suggestions from my research for adults seeking to understand the views of children and young people with complex learning and communication needs.
