Educational Psychology Service (EPS)
Neurodivergence refers to differences in the way individuals think, learn or behave. By creating neurodiversity affirming classrooms, children and young people can tap into their unique strengths and embrace their neurodivergence. This training will assist schools to make small and important changes in their classrooms, so that neurodivergent students do not face unnecessary barriers.
All of our training is open to all, but for it to be maximally impactful it will be helpful if a member of staff who can cascade learning and lead change within your school attends (for example SENCO, Attendance Lead, Pastoral Lead, SLT). Teachers or teaching assistants may attend, if they have support to embed learning from the training within the school.

Springwood Primary School
Signalong is a key word, sign-supported communication system based on British Sign Language and is used in spoken word order. It uses speech, sign, body language, facial expression and voice tone to reference the link between sign and word.
The workshop is frequently topic based and the emphasis is on the practical application of signing. We cover a brief history, philosophy and methodology of Signalong before teaching approximately 50 key words, but you will learn the necessary skills to read and produce any sign in our range of over 70 manuals. We will also provide activities to put the vocabulary into context i.e. sentence practice, plays etc.
The course consists of two sessions, attendance at both is expected.
Some of the dates may not be visible if the date of the training/session has passed.
Parents and professionals. Anyone working with pupils who are learning to use Signalong.
