- ‘Child-Centred Competences for Early Childhood Education and Care’ from the British Association of Early Childhood Education. The book brings together four years of research undertaken by early childhood academics and educators to help articulate both what child-centredness means and what it looks like in practice . The e-book is divided into three chapters, each with two sections that help to structure a series of indicators. Each indicator provides a description, summary, resource, suggested points for reflection and further reading. You can go through each indicator in turn or use the table of contents to click to the ones that you most want to look at.
- ‘Supporting children with sensory processing needs in the early years’ from Cumbria County Council. For some children, sensory processing does not develop as efficiently as it should which makes it difficult to generate an appropriate response to environments and everyday situations.
- This section of Hertfordshire SEND Local Offer’s YouTube channel contains videos looking at the ‘Graduated Approach’, ‘Physical and neurological impairment and sensory impairment’, and ‘Understanding attachment’.
