Is your child awaiting an Autism assessment? Or are they showing signs of Autistic traits and you would like to learn more to help you understand how better to support them? Are you a professional looking to support a child / children in your care?

Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) Parent Carer forums have teamed together to deliver a variety of workshops to provide information, support and practical guidance to help you on your journey. This workshop is a face-to-face session focusing on Sensory Differences.

To book a funded place on this workshop you MUST live in North Somerset.

• What are Sensory Needs?

Children can be over/under responsive at different times or in different situations. Sensory processing (sometimes called 'sensory integration' or 'SI') is a term that refers to the way the brain receives messages from the sensory receptors and turns them into appropriate motor and behavioural responses. Sensory responses are very individual and can vary minute by minute.

• How does it present?

Sensory processing needs present in two ways (some children/adults will fluctuate between to two)

Avoider – When you are an avoider you will stay away from sensory experiences and sensory input can be distressing and painful

Seeker – May seek out sensory experiences, fidgeting and may seek out sensory experiences from their environment.

• What is the connection with executive functioning?

Sensory processing difficulties can have a direct impact on executive functioning. When a child has difficulty regulating their sensory processing it is very difficult for them to access other skills such as organizing, planning and attention.

• How can we best support our children with sensory processing difficulties ?

The workshop will give you strategies that you can use with your child. Alongside this by gaining an understanding of the basics of sensory processing, it’s possible to gain understanding about behaviors and therefore build your own strategies to help your child.

This workshop will be delivered by an SEND professional and an experienced SEND parent carer.

We promised you all that we would repeat this training offer from Loren Snow, and here it is!

Autism vs ADHD: What's the difference?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism often go together and can easily be confused for one another. It can be hard being a parent to know which is causing the most difficulty and what you need to use strategies for. So what is the difference between them?

​

In this short course, we'll cover many similarities between the two. We'll also look at many simple strategies you can start straight away that should help.

I'll share with you a brief overview about:

• The myths and facts of both

• How the brain processes information differently

• Strategies to help someone learn and navigate the world

• Associated conditions

• The senses role in behaviour

Let's face it, they can both seem complicated; it can be confusing to pry them apart. So if you're struggling to figure it out and need a simple overview, then this is the perfect introduction course for you.

This is a free training event for parent carers of children with additional needs and/or disabilities within North Somerset. This event is also open to professionals who work with children/young people with additional needs and/or disabilities in North Somerset. Priority on place allocation will be given based on the criteria above.

Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) is a term used to describe children and young people (CYP) who experience challenges in attending school due to negative feelings (such as anxiety). EBSA is commonly associated with emotional and physical distress, and a reluctance to attend school, which can lead to reduced attendance and further anxiety regarding school.

This is a Peer Support Coffee session to gain some support & signposting whilst meeting others in a similar situation 💖

Is your child awaiting an Autism assessment? Or are they showing signs of Autistic traits and you would like to learn more to help you understand how better to support them? Are you a professional looking to support a child / children in your care?

Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) Parent Carer forums have teamed together to deliver a variety of workshops to provide information, support and practical guidance to help you on your journey. This workshop is a face-to-face session focusing on Behaviour.

To book a funded place on this workshop you MUST live in North Somerset.

This workshop gives a broad overview of behaviour.

• What is it?

Behaviour is both positive and negative – it can be very easy to think of negative situations when we talk about behaviour – but it is important to note this is not the case. Behaviour can be a response to environment and/or how we are feeling.

• How does it present?

All behaviour is a form of communication. So whether positive or negative behaviour is demonstrated we are demonstrating how we are feeling. Some behaviours can be really challenging for parents and carers. This can be shown as aggression, frustration or the child who shuts down.

• What is the connection with executive functioning?

Executive function is a set of cognitive skills that are needed for self-control and managing behaviors. These skills include self-control, working memory, and mental flexibility. When recurring behaviours appear it can have a direct effect on our executive functioning skills such as self control.

• How can we best support our children with behaviour difficulties?

During this workshop we will look at strategies we can you use to help your child to manage their behaviour, including ways in which we can use our own approach to their (and our) behaviour to support your child.

This workshop will be delivered by an SEND professional and an experienced SEND parent carer.

We love these little get togethers!

Join us - chat, laugh, cry if you need - the amount of information shared, helpful tips, signposting & support is great (most of this from other parents & carers 🤭)

Is your child awaiting an Autism assessment? Or are they showing signs of Autistic traits and you would like to learn more to help you understand how better to support them? Are you a professional looking to support a child / children in your care?

Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) Parent Carer forums have teamed together to deliver a variety of workshops to provide information, support and practical guidance to help you on your journey. This workshop is a face-to-face session focusing on Communication.

To book a funded place on this workshop you MUST live in North Somerset.

This workshop gives a broad overview of communication.

• What is it?

Communication is a vital part of everyone’s lives. Communication difficulties can affect both you and your child. There are many different ways that this can be displayed and can lead to you and your child feeling very frustrated.

• How does it present?

Communication difficulties present in a variety of ways. In this workshop we look at how communication is not simply based around speech. We look at communication as a two-way process – how children communicate their needs and how they respond to what is being communicated to them.

• What is the connection with executive functioning?

Children with communication difficulties can find it very difficult to understand what is being asked of them. They may have a very different view of what needs to be communicated and how. This can lead to difficulty in organisational skills, planning, processing and self- regulation issues.

• How can we best support our children with communication difficulties ?

This workshop looks at strategies on how to support communication difficulties. We aim to provide insight into communication without the only focus being on the spoken word. Whilst also sharing knowledge on ways to develop speech and two-way communication needs.

This workshop will be delivered by an SEND professional and an experienced SEND parent carer.

Is your child awaiting an Autism assessment? Or are they showing signs of Autistic traits and you would like to learn more to help you understand how better to support them? Are you a professional looking to support a child / children in your care?

Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) Parent Carer forums have teamed together to deliver a variety of workshops to provide information, support and practical guidance to help you on your journey. This workshop is a face-to-face session focusing on Anxiety.

To book a funded place on this workshop you MUST live in North Somerset.

This workshop gives a broad overview of anxiety.

• What is it?

Anxiety is a powerful mixture of emotions and physical responses, which can feel overwhelming. There is a difference between fear of an immediate event, and worry, which typically focusses on a future (or past) event.

• How does it present?

Everyone will experience anxiety differently.

It is being able to recognise it in ourselves but also what that might look like for your child. Anxiety becomes a problem when it gets in the way of everyday routines, prevents social connection and affects overall well-being.

• What is the connection with executive functioning?

Anxiety can have a major impact on executive functioning skills. They may have trouble with certain skills like planning, staying organized, sequencing information, and self-regulating emotions. The more anxious a person is the more difficult it will be to be able to access these skills.

• How can we best support our children with anxiety?

The workshop will give you strategies and the opportunity to share knowledge of supporting anxiety. We will present resources and strategies that can be practically used for you and your child, whilst underpinning some of the things that may be causing anxiety.

This workshop will be delivered by an SEND professional and an experienced SEND parent carer.
