Promoting change for children with SEND in our local area
This morning we have spoken to our local Labour councillors Jane Yates and Kathryn Salt along with Dennis Skinner MP about improving SEND provision in our local community.
It was a very positive and encouraging chat with lots of avenues and funding opportunities to explore.
We had a great night at the D2 Business Starter Programme event, presenting who we are and our plans for the future.
Photos from a recent staff training event in a primary school. Staff were eager to start implementing the strategies with children they had identified as having oral motor or speech and sound production difficulties.
We met lots of new families at 'SENDsational'. A free parent and carers event we organised with Special Needs Circle East Midlands.
Our first 'Coffee Break' event at Tibshelf Village Hall. Huge thanks to all that volunteered, supported the fundraiser and came to the 'Sensory Break'
Coffee Break
Come and join us at Tibshelf Village Hall on 26/03/19 at 12-2pm
Join us for a coffee and a chat and the chance to meet other parents and carers of children with special needs. Your child does not need to have a diagnosis to attend. We will introduce ourselves, our services and share sensory resources that you can make at home. Children are welcome to stay and play! We aim to hold monthly coffee mornings with a different topic each month such as Sensory Stories, Behaviours that challenge and Communication. Attendance is free and refreshments will be available. Hope to see you there.
