Half-termly SEN coffee mornings are organised by DSPL7 and VISTA.  These are for parents who would like advice and support for any issues they may be experiencing at home with a child with SEND.  VISTA school family workers and DSPL7 staff are available to chat, and to signpost to other agencies as needed.  The coffee morning also provides opportunities to meet other parents who may be experiencing similar things.

In addition, bookable 30-minute appointments can be made with a SEND professional.  These provide a chance for parents to gain specific advice and strategies for different areas of need.

From March 2024 the Sensory Pathway is being updated. Schools now only need to attend the 'understanding children's sensory preferences'

Schools understanding children's sensory preferences:

Our understanding sensory preferences information session is for teachers, assistants, and special educational needs coordinators (SENCOs) who would like to know more about children's sensory development. The focus is on sensory development, how sensory preferences are established, and the influence on a child's sensory likes and dislikes. Sessions consider the impact of sensory preferences on everyday activities for children and offer practical advice and strategies that you can implement in your setting.

Our Schools Open Forum Virtual Advice sessions occur once per half term and are for teachers, assistants, and special educational needs coordinators (SENCOs) who would like some sensory advice and support for those children who experience sensory differences impacting on their participation in learning/everyday school activities.

These sessions are run as an open forum, where school staff can come along to discuss areas of sensory concerns with a member of the sensory team who will provide advice and support that you can implement in your setting. This is also an opportunity to hear other schools questions and queries and for schools to share ideas of what has worked for them.

Due to the nature of the forums, children and young people will not be referred to by their names.
