SEND Immersion Day – Specialist Autism Early Years Practice (2nd February 2027)
Stronger Practice Hub Event
Join Springboard Opportunity Group for an immersive practitioner visit to our specialist autism provision based at Mead Vale Primary School. These small-group sessions will provide early years practitioners with the opportunity to observe and discuss inclusive, neurodevelopmentally-informed practice within a specialist early years environment supporting both complex and less complex autistic children.
The immersion days will explore how thoughtful environments, communication approaches, regulation support and relational practice can help autistic children feel safe, engaged and able to thrive. Practitioners will gain practical ideas, strategies and reflections that can be translated into their own settings.
These sessions are designed to encourage discussion, reflection and shared learning in a supportive environment, with opportunities to ask questions and explore real-life practice alongside the Springboard team.
Learning Aims:
- To develop understanding of specialist early years autism practice
- To explore how environments can support regulation, communication and engagement
- To observe practical strategies that support autistic children with a range of strengths and needs
- To reflect on approaches to interaction, communication and emotional regulation
- To increase confidence in adapting mainstream early years practice to support inclusion
- To explore the role of visual supports, predictable routines and sensory considerations within daily practice
- To encourage reflective discussion around neurodiversity-informed and child-centred approaches
