Learning SPACE @ the NASEN Annual Conference!


Learning SPACE will be supporting this year's conference, on the 22nd October 2011, at Stranmillis University College, Belfast.

It's very exciting! 

The conference is aimed at parents and professionals working with young people who have been diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. 

"A very knowledgeable group of speakers from various parts of the province will be sharing 
their knowledge and expertise of Autism Spectrum Disorders with us in a range of ASD 
specific seminar topics. Individual speakers will also consider what is already ‘good practice’ 
here in Northern Ireland, and as a part of the Conference programme, we also plan to share 
learning resource possibilities, presently available through the use of C2K in schools. "





At Learning SPACE we have a special interest in Autism. We have a catalogue of products specifically selected with people with ASD in mind  - click on the link for the Autism Catalogue
Our staff are knowledgeable and experienced, and able to support parents and professionals in the sourcing and use of our products. 

We will be attending with a range of exciting new things, including Sensory Direct weighted items and Sensory Room equipment, to show off the brilliant new range!  Learning Space is working with Fred Storey Ltd to  design and fit SpaceKraft Sensory Rooms.

Here are Lorraine, Owner of Learning SPACE, and Ciara, our Rep, trying out one of the new products that we'll be demonstrating! 




Here's what Lorraine had to say about the LED Musical Light Wall: 

I could have played with this all day! I was absolutely mesmerised. Simply by touching the screen, I could control the music, lights and movement. Amazing! 

See it in action in the video below! 




So, whether you are a student teachers,  an NQT,  an experienced teacher, 
 a  Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators (SENCO), a classroom assistant,  
a professional working with young people with an ASD, or a parent - we're looking forward to seeing you there!
