Reviews

''I am an NQT and my Headteacher booked me onto this training.

I learnt so much and left the course full of ideas that I look forward to applying to my PMLD class.

The story prop ideas were very inspiring, and I enjoyed exploring how to adapt existing texts into multisensory stories.

My school has subscribed to the Members Library so we have instant access to all of the resources and also get to attend the free mini training sessions.''

"It was so valuable to learn how to engage learners students using the story props not only to promote learning but to bring the stories to life"

"The training was informal and friendly yet delivered concisely with plenty of opportunities for questions''

''I took this workshop as I am new to the role of Activity Coordinator in a residential home working with adults with dementia. By the end of the training session, I was bursting with ideas I was excited to try out and the confidence to do so"

''With the training I would be confident enough to use any book and transform it into a multisensory story."

"Fabulous training session. I will definitely encourage colleagues in other schools to attend a session."

''We are an SEN school

(3-19) who booked the training for our INSET.

The ideas were cleverly adapted and differentiated to apply to a range of learners from EYFS department to Post-16''
