“All staff working in an education setting should complete Sensory Aware with GriffinOT; it is insightful and grounded in the reality of what our learners feel and experience. The links to autism are particularly helpful.”
“This introductory course to SPD is perfectly pitched: it deals with very complex concepts in a clear, direct way which is accessible to all. I will be adding the full course to my team’s CPD. Many thanks to GriffinOT”
“I found this course really easy to follow and liked how you could stop and come back to the course over a period of time in order to complete it. It really helped me to understand and support my son’s sensory overload.”
“The material in the training was clear and understandable, even being unfamiliar with certain terms prior to the course. The videos were engaging and real life examples aided in understanding the topic further.”
“This course has enabled me to gain a better understanding of our pupil’s sensory behaviours, and as SENCO better support my class teachers who are working hard to meet the needs of all their pupils.”

“Parents and educators are all too often left to organise their children’s occupational therapy programme with little support and limited training. Through online resources and training I am aiming to change this.”
