creating transformative experiences for learning disabled young people creating transformative experiences for learning disabled young peopleOur 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, self-paced digital training course is designed to give you practical, proven ways to overcome these barriers and create meaningful, positive change.

This course offers flexible, self-paced learning that enables you to learn around your busy schedule and on any digital device, whether that’s your laptop, desktop, tablet or phone. It’s built to be genuinely interactive, not just something you sit and watch: expect engaging, informative videos and inspiring imagery as well as various ways to interact with the course content to help you learn The Bamboozle Approach. We have added captions and audio recordings throughout to help you access the course in a way that suits your requirements.
Throughout the course, you’ll also get practical ‘try this’ tips you can use immediately, and at the end, you’ll receive a free downloadable resource to support your practice beyond the course. It should take around 2 hours to complete and includes examples from headteachers, teaching staff and parents who’ve seen the difference The Bamboozle Approach makes.
“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.
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.
