Supporting Non-Verbal Children with Communication and Behaviour: Using Visuals in the Early Years is a practical course designed for early years practitioners working with children who are not developing communication in the usual way. The session focuses on how visual supports can help children make sense of their environment (receiving communication) and find ways to express their needs, wants, and feelings (giving communication). Practitioners will explore a range of simple yet effective strategies to reduce frustration, support emotional regulation, and foster meaningful interaction. The course also looks at how to make early years settings more inclusive for children with a wide range of communication needs.
