Description
RECORDING: Bundle three sessions focussing on working with families with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
A chance to purchase three recorded sessions for £75 (normally individually priced at £30 per session).
This training is aimed at staff at museums, art galleries and heritage sites who are interested in making their organisations more welcoming to families with SEND.
Each session is led by SEND in Museums Consultant Sam Bowen, drawing on her own professional museum learning knowledge and lived experience as a SEND parent.
Recording one - Working in partnership with SEND families
Do you want to build your confidence to work in partnership with families with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to improve the provision for them at your museum?
About this training
In the UK, 11% of children are disabled and in England, 18.4% have special educational needs. Adding non-disabled siblings to these numbers increases this potential audience to a fifth of children in the UK. This simple fact is a powerful advocacy tool to make a business case for SEND inclusion in your museum.
During this recorded session, we will:
think about areas of your provision that you could improve through working with SEND families,
find out how to reach out to SEND families that are local to your museum,
explore a range of examples of museum partnerships with SEND families to inspire your own work.
Take a look at the full schedule.
Recording two - Creating sensory backpacks for families with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
Do you want to create sensory backpacks for families with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), but don’t know where to start?
About this training
One way to support SEND families during a visit is to create a sensory backpack. These resources don’t cost a lot to create, and they can make a powerful difference to a SEND family’s visit. Their economic impact, promoting a longer dwell time and potentially greater spend in the museum, pays back an initial investment quickly.
During this virtual training event, we will:
Understand the barriers SEND families face when visiting museums,
Explore examples of best practice in museums for creating sensory backpacks,
Share top tips on how to create backpacks that are bespoke for your setting.
Take a look at the full schedule.
Recording three - Developing inclusive activities for families with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
Do you want to create inclusive activities for families with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), but don’t know where to start?
About this training
Inclusive and accessible activities, resources and programming, as well as confident staff who value the needs of all visitors, are the cornerstones to creating a SEND inclusive museum.
In this session, SEND in Museums Consultant Sam Bowen will guide you through what inclusive activities look like, the positive impact they have on SEND families and how to develop them at your site. Sam will inspire you to think practically about how you can embed this accessible practice in your own organisation, show examples of best practice and then lead you through a planning exercise.
During this virtual training event, we will:
find out what SEND is and how to support this audience and their families
explore what good and bad experiences in museums feel like and why this work matters
share how to make quick business case points for advocating for SEND activities in your museum
think about how to develop a range of activities both within your programming and as self-led options for SEND families
plan in the short and medium term how you can put this work into practice.
Take a look at the full schedule.
