Effective Learning Through Games

Explore practical tips and tools with Nicci Rossini, co-creator of the board game Race to your Rocket, that enable parents and carers to support children in social situations which they find challenging.

Certain social situations are challenging for many children (and in fact some adults!)

Sharing ideas that can be practised in calm, familiar environments can help build confidence for the social situations that your child might find challenging.

The main social situations we will look at are joining in, resolving conflict and not just starting, but sustaining conversations with friends.

We’ll also look at what to do when things don’t go to plan.

Age recommendation:

This talk is particularly suitable for neurodivergent young people and their parents / carers.

The session is also relevant to anyone looking to learn more about neurodivergence, including educators and those working in a SEN environment.

Anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a paying parent / carer.
