The Therapeutic Toolbox was designed by Tina Rae and produced by TTS. SENsible SENCO reviewed and tested it!
TTS recently released their Calming Cat (although it will forever be Cuddle Cat to me). Even though I appreciate a good stuffed animal, what really sets Calming Cat apart is the theoretical and psychological considerations that went into its development. Not only is...
STEER Education had been gathering data on student well-being before the Covid-19 pandemic, and they continued to do so during the outbreak and beyond. What they found was surprising and contradicted the narrative we heard in the general press about the well-being of students with SEN. But was it really that strange?
Recently I have been supporting a lot of new SENCOs with training and wellbeing and what comes up time and time again is the size of the role versus the amount of time there is to complete it. There is rarely a happy medium. If you couple this with post-pandemic increased need and decreased resources, it really is a difficult balancing act.
