    Online Course
    Virtual Event

    Stronger Practice Hub Event

    The role of the Key Person has never been more critical as we work to meet the increasing needs of every unique child. As we face growing challenges in Early Years our settings need to be safe, loving and enabling environments for our children and families. Being attuned and building a rapport with every child and embracing their family is crucial at this time to support self-regulation. We need to do this through loving relationships and positive interactions.

    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.
