Cambridge Forum for Children’s Emotional Well-being, June 2025Info Location Contact More Info Event Information
DescriptionEmbodied Enabling: Sensory-Motor Integration Foundations for Children’s Wellbeing Saturday, 7 June 2025 10am to 12.30pm In person at the Donald McIntyre Building, 84 Hills Road, Cambridge, CB2 8PQ. Many of the children we work with as therapists and educators present with difficulties that leave us wondering whether classroom intervention or therapeutic intervention might be best. Difficulties in emotional regulation, anxiety or being able to focus to learn can arise from a range of underlying starting points and to say too quickly ‘it’s an emotional issue’ or ‘it’s a learning issue’ can miss the embodied foundation of some difficulties that come from insufficiently integrated sensory experiences. Post Covid this may be a particular area of difficulty for children due to reduced opportunity for physical engagement with the world and others before starting school.
