London School of Childcare Studies

In this seminar, experienced occupational therapist, Anna Bradshaw, focuses on sensory processing and its crucial role in development. The seminar will cover the eight senses involved, including well-known ones like sight and hearing and lesser-known senses like proprioception and interoception. It will emphasise the importance of sensory play for infants aged 0 to 12 months, and how it aids in brain development, motor skills, language acquisition, and social-emotional growth. Anna will also share practical ideas for sensory play.
