The courses are appropriate for a wide range of people who are working with children and adults in a variety of settings, for example, schools, health care settings, local authority, voluntary agencies.  Previous courses have been attended by a wide variety of people including class teachers, head teachers, SENCOs, teaching assistants, social workers, social care staff, nursery nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, psychologists, learning disability nurses, nurse practitioners, play therapists, students, and parents.

Participants attend the courses from all over the United Kingdom and Ireland, as well as from other parts of the world.  Participants have attended from Australia, France, Greece, Malaysia, Oman, Poland, Qatar to name a few.

I will tailor the course to meet the needs of your staff and establishment so please contact me so to discuss your requirements in detail.

The course booking terms and conditions can be found here.

All courses are delivered by Julia Dyer who holds advanced qualifications in sensory integration. There are many online courses available in sensory integration and sensory processing, often delivered by tutors who have no formal qualifications in sensory integration.

Online courses are delivered over Zoom. In creating and delivering online courses I wanted to recreate, as much as possible, all the positive aspects of the onsite courses including the aspects of physically gathering and learning together as a group of participants. One of my core beliefs is that for genuine understanding and learning to occur you, as the learner, need to be actively engaged in the learning process.

To find out more about the delivery and content of online courses see here.

You will need a computer or tablet with a working camera and microphone. It is possible to access on a mobile phone, but the size of the screen makes it much more difficult to see the content and other participants. You will need access to stable and reliable internet connection and a room where you will not get disturbed. Participants often find it is better to access the course at home rather than at work.

You will be emailed the course handbook a week before the course.  I recommend that you print a copy of the handout to use during the online course.  You will be given a password on the first day of the course to enable you to access other course materials and worksheets via the downloads page.

There is a sign-up button on each course page that links to the course application form. The application form is submitted online.

An invoice will be sent to you within 5 working days. Course fees are due within 30 days from the invoice date.

There is a discount of 5% available for booking 3 or more places on one course by one organisation. All three places must be booked at the same time on one application form and invoiced on one invoice.

There is a discount of 5% available for one person who books onto 3 courses at the same time and all 3 courses are invoiced on one invoice.

On each course there are 2 discounted places for parents at half price. There are allocated on a first come first served basis for each course.

You should receive confirmation within 5 working days by e-mail. If you have not heard from me within that time, then please contact me.

Course numbers are limited to ensure quality teaching. For online courses there is a limit of 20 participants. Course places are allocated on a first come first served basis. If you submit an application form, I will inform you if there are no places left. Alternatively, you can contact me to enquire about availability.

Places on all training courses are limited. I therefore ask you to let me know as soon as possible if you wish to cancel a booking by email or in writing.

Substitution of a participant can be made at any time without incurring any charge. Please inform me by email of any substitutions.

If you need to cancel a place, cancellation charges will apply as below. Cancellation charges depend on when I receive your written/emailed cancellation notice:

If the place is cancelled more than 28 days before the course date, I will refund 50 % of the course fees. If the invoice is unpaid at the time of cancellation, you will be liable for 50 % of the course fee.

For bookings cancelled less than 28 days before the course date or for ‘non-attendance’, no refund will be made. If the invoice is unpaid at the time of cancellation, you will still be liable for 100% of the course fee.

If you have applied for an online course and are too ill to attend, or there are other extentuating circumstances, then please contact me as soon as possible by email. You will be able to transfer your place onto the next available course on payment of an adminstration charge of £ 30.
