Introduction to SAI:

The Impact of Developmental Trauma and Insecure Attachment on Sensory Processing.    

​

2023 Course fee: £600 (plus VAT if applicable)

 

This three-day course will look at the theories that provide the framework for SAI. Emphasis will be on the impact of trauma on sensory processing, and on the capacity for self and co-regulation.

 

Participants will learn the neurosequential approach to intervention; that is, when it is most effective to use interventions such as narrative work, play therapy, and education.

 

They will learn the principles of up-regulation and down-regulation to enable physiological adaptation for social engagement and academic learning.
