�Improving the attention/concentration of children with DCD in the classroom using sensory regulation.�
Lois Addy, Senior Lecturer at York St John University presents a lively talk about the difficulties in attention and concentration recognised as common characteristics of children with DCD. This session will demonstrate how the timely provision and implementation of sensory strategies and equipment can positively affect children�s capacities to concentrate and attend in a classroom environment with the subsequent positive impact on successful inclusion.
�It ain�t Rocket Science�
Gill Dixon, Independent Special Needs Advisor and mother of a child with dyspraxia presents an introduction to some positive and practical strategies for support in living and learning that will help any child with a learning difficulty/difference at home and at school. The strategies do not cost extra money or extra time or resources and yet they really can make a difference to the child, helping to keep self esteem afloat and allowing them to achieve along with their peers.
�Beyond Boundaries: A Dyspraxic Journey�
Special Guest, Liam Plumridge, youth with dyspraxia and fundraiser takes us on a trek across Ecuador as part of the Beyond Boundaries 111 programme. Liam gives an inspirational and heart warming talk about his trip across one of the highest mountain ranges in the world; the mighty Andes. Over a period of 4 weeks, 10 young people with disabilities fight their way from the edge of the Amazon Basin to reach the snowline of the highest active volcano in the world, and then descend to sea level, wading through miles of swamp before reaching the Pacific Ocean.
Fees: Professional £55/ Parent £45 to include refreshments, lunch and an exhibition of resources.
