Supporting your child to Focus and pay Attention

 in the Classroom

It has been difficult for our little ones to start school life after such a turbulent time of Covid-19.

Many children did not have the experience of nursery or play groups, or even the chance to interact with family members.

Learning how to play, listen and interact effectively is a skill that is often learnt, our coffee morning will provide the opportunity to share ideas, discuss our worries and develop some ideas to best support our children.

Guest speakers:

 Abigail Hills and Hayley Morgan

Message from Claire Graham

I run inclusive and accessible activities in Buckinghamshire for people with additional and complex needs; and I am trying to reach families that would benefit from attending. 

I run sessions for children, young people and adults with a varying range of learning disabilities. I run sessions from sensory storytelling to accessible live music events. 

Our next sessions are being held in Holmer Green Village hall on Friday 24th September (for over 18's) and Saturday 25th September (for under 18's).
