PRACTITIONER WORKSHOP – Visual Prompts & Support

We are pleased to offer a new practical, in-person workshop delivered by Smart Bright Training. Providing practitioner attendees with an understanding of ‘Visual Supports’ and how they could be used in your setting to support speech and language skills, social communication and with understanding instructions, time management, routines, independence and more.

We will aid your understanding of how ‘Visual Supports’ can be used as positive strategies, following advice in care plans, using a consistent approach is implemented that works to support the individual needs of each child in your setting.

How many times has someone suggested … “You need to use a visual”
Or perhaps asked …. “Are you using a visual timetable?”
Or maybe told you…. “Now and Next boards have really helped focus my child”
Are you left thinking … “Sounds interesting but I have no idea what they are or how to use them!” Or… “Yes, we have used them but they don’t work!”

Join us for our practical workshop where we will explain how ‘visual supports’ can be used, how to adapt them in creative ways to be more supportive to the needs of children you are working with.

Who is this for? Practitioners in Early Years (EYFS) Teaching Assistants, Support Staff in primary and secondary settings. Frontline staff supporting families and those Practitioners carrying our direct work or interventions and support with children and young people, perhaps following SEN Support, EHCP or Care plans.
