Tacpac® Trainings

Tacpac® was a pioneer of Sensory Integration in the 1990s, providing resources in the field of sensory learning at a time when there were virtually none. In 2007 we were a prizewinner in the TES-nasen Special Education Needs Awards. In 2010, our packs now sell worldwide, and 
Tacpac trainings in Sensory Alignment are now at the leading edge in schools and health settings.

What's in a training?

Tacpac Trainings in Sensory Alignment are run as a full day course. They are designed to:
  • heighten awareness of your own senses (we have many more than 5)
  • teach how to work effectively with touch
  • build skills and confidence in multi-sensory interaction (touch, sight, movement and sound)
  • develop your ability to work at a deeper level with Tacpac
  • introduce Tacpac to others in your team
  • award a Tacpac CPD certificate in Sensory Alignment.
Who are the trainings for?

The trainings are delivered to teachers, Portage workers, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Speech Therapists, Health Visitors, Respite Care workers, Early Years and SENSS workers, primary care trusts, inclusion teams, hospices, child development centres, play and communicaton workers, community nursery and learning disability nurses, and conferences.

Training with the Team Around The Child / Client is an excellent way to get everyone involved, as this stimulates a great discussion from the different professional viewpoints. We have helped many settings develop a strong, coordinated approach to integrating Tacpac into their multi-disciplinary work.

How many in a training, and when do they happen?

A training session can have up to 30 people, and the fee includes a Tacpac of your choice. Sessions usually run during the working week, Monday-Friday, we can also accommodate Saturdays upon request.
Comments from other workshop participants

"I have become much more aware of what tactile feelings the children have and like. For example, pressure makes a huge difference, and I discovered how rhythm or working with the beat of the music can be used to stimulate or relax receivers."

"....Found the session fun and informative. Gave me lots of ideas to use in groups with parents and children. Thank you!"

"I have more skills than I thought! I've learned that other senses are just as useful and compensate for those that don't work so well."
How much does a training cost?

Training costs are worked out per person with a minimum of 20 participants and a maximum of 30 participants. Please contact us for costs of trainings as they differ from a setting to an open training.
