SenseAbility

A Gift to your Child

A one-day practical course for parents, carers and health and educational professionals that will show you how to help your child reach their full potential, eliminating possible learning difficulties even before they emerge.

This groundbreaking course is based on more than ten years of therapeutic work with children and adults with learning and sensory difficulties and incorporates the latest findings in these fields. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of how the five direct senses, the balance / vestibular mechanism, the proprioceptive system and the reflexes impact on healthy child development; learn how to evaluate and track progress yourself; have all the tools to implement an effective home programme to support your child in their further development and learning. The suggested activities and included materials are suitable for children aged three to early teens.
