Discover 9 Practical Strategies for Engaging SEND Children and Young People

Our first interactive online course designed to help educators, practitioners and carers build meaningful engagement and participation.

Engaging with SEND children and young people can be challenging – from low engagement and high anxiety to behaviours driven by fear of failure.

This simple digital training course is designed to give you practical, proven ways to overcome these barriers and create meaningful, positive change.

“Some of the ‘battles’ I had before working with Bamboozle are now non-existent. The pupils are much calmer and happier.” Karen Wake – Autism Lead, Lakeside School

How this training solves your challenges

Through the tried and tested Bamboozle Approach, you’ll discover how to:

reduce anxiety and challenging behaviour by removing the fear of failure
build self-esteem and confidence so children feel safe to take part
create calmer, more collaborative environments for both children and adults
take the pressure off staff and carers with approaches that actually work in real-life settings

Everything in this training is focused on one goal: giving SEND children a better, more fulfilling experience of learning and life.

“Bamboozle has redefined the way in which the school works with the pupils. The impact of this was seen throughout the school in the way that staff interact with the pupils.” – The National Autistic Society Report – Lakeside School.

“Children who would not usually indicate independent exploration actively engaged in the session. Vocalisations, words and phrases were spoken that are rarely heard in the classroom. I was overwhelmed by the response from our children.” – Josie McGrath. Teacher, Priory Woods School.

Why learn the Bamboozle Approach?

These aren’t just theories – they are tried-and-tested approaches you can apply immediately, developed over 33 years by Bamboozle.

At the heart of the Bamboozle Approach is a simple shift from expecting children and young people to fit the system to adapting the environment around the child or young person.

Would you like to see how we and hundreds of other education leaders and teachers have done this?
