When children can see language, they can use language – and that leads to confident, successful writing.

Join Lisa from Widgit and Emma from Mighty Writer for this powerful introductory session, where we’ll show how Widgit symbols and Mighty Writer’s sentence‑building approach work together to strengthen:

• Vocabulary and oral rehearsal
• Sentence structure and accuracy
• Transcription foundations in Reception & KS1
• Confidence for SEND, EAL and reluctant writers
• Overall independence and writing success

This practical, classroom‑focused webinar walks you through the full visual‑to‑verbal learning journey:

Picture → Symbols → Oral Sentence → Sentence Build → Writing

Please share these details with your colleagues and LSAs and they can book easily via the Mighty Writer website.

The post FREE! Exclusive Webinar! Visual Literacy with Widgit & Mighty Writer appeared first on Louise Dawson Professional and Management Development Training.

Struggling with SEND provision? Learn how to improve engagement, create flexible pathways, and evidence outcomes beyond attainment.

Many schools are asking the same question:

Are we truly delivering inclusive, flexible learning or just adapting around the edges?

The most effective schools don’t retrofit SEND support.
They design systems that anticipate and adapt to need.

This session explores what that looks like in practice.

Led by Kate from Gaia Learning, this CPD will share practical insight into how schools are:

• improving engagement across complex SEND and SEMH cohorts
• building flexible pathways that adapt as needs change
• responding in real time — not waiting for formal review cycles
• joining up SEND, pastoral and academic insight
• evidencing progress beyond attainment (engagement, wellbeing, independence)
• ensuring provision moves learners forward, not keeps them in holding patterns

These principles are drawn from real delivery across schools, not just theory.

About The Speaker

Kate Heath is the Founder and Managing Director of Gaia Learning, working with schools, MATs and Local Authorities to support learners who struggle to access education. Her work focuses on designing inclusive, flexible provision that improves engagement and long-term outcomes.

Dr. Pippa Busch explores the neuroscience of co-regulation:

 Why children “borrow” our nervous systems
 How dysregulation spreads
 What to do in the moment when emotions run high.

When children feel overwhelmed, they don’t need better behaviour charts, they need regulated adults.

You’ll learn practical tools to reduce escalation and build long-term emotional resilience at home.
