Mary Hughes is a training officer for Wrexham Borough Council who facilitates CPD for childcarers in the area. She rates very highly courses run by Concept Training and says that its Play and Leisure for Disabled Children is one of its best.
Concept Training specialises in special educational needs and offers a consultancy on setting up multi-sensory rooms. In recent years Wrexham Council has tapped into its expertise, running its courses on autism, sensory play and dealing with children who have social, emotional and behavioural problems. These have proved invaluable to a wide range of local childcarers.
Ms Hughes says, 'We've been running Play and Leisure for Disabled Children since 2011 and the feedback just gets better and better. Childminders, playgroups and after-school clubs have all found that the one-day session has been a springboard to developing sensory play in a way that does not involve investment in expensive equipment.'
