In this episode of SENsational, we’re joined by our Avon Park School Team, Including Kerri Louca-Weston, Head Teacher, Sarah Lane, Family Liaison Officer and Rachael Morin, Senior Occupational Therapist. Together, they explore their approach to working with families to support school transitions, the challenges children from mainstream settings often face when starting a new SEN school. Plus, the impact of sensory differences and preferences on school-related anxiety.
