Morning Session – Cosmo Learning System
Date: Thursday 12th February 2026
Time: 10.30 to 12.30pm
About: This interactive 2-hour workshop will explore how play, movement, and multisensory learning can transform education and therapy for children with diverse needs—including SEND, PMLD, and early years learners. Participants will be introduced to Cosmo, an inclusive, evidence-based learning tool that combines physical activity, music, and play to support cognitive, communication, motor, and social-emotional development.
Through demonstrations, real-world case studies, and practical discussions, attendees will learn how Cosmo’s playful and Universal Design approach increases engagement, motivation, and emotional regulation—while remaining easy to use and non-intrusive for children. The session is suitable for educators, therapists, and professionals working across special education, mainstream classrooms, and therapeutic settings.
Afternoon session – Cosmo Music
Date: Thursday 12th February 2026
Time: 1.30pm to 3.30pm
About: The afternoon session will focus on how Cosmo can be used as an inclusive tool for music education and music therapy, enabling learners of all abilities to actively engage in music-making. Designed for music educators, therapists, and non-specialist practitioners, the session explores how spatial, touch-based and multisensory interaction allows students with SEND, PMLD, autism, or limited mobility to play instruments, explore rhythm and melody, and participate in meaningful musical experiences with confidence and independence.
Participants will learn how Cosmo supports emotional expression, communication, attention, motor development, and social interaction through accessible, motivating music sessions. The workshop highlights how music learning can be personalised for individual needs and group work, how it supports therapeutic goals as well as curriculum outcomes, and creates a joyful and collaborative learning environment.
Please note: Attendees are welcome to sign up for either or both sessions. Lunch is not provided so please bring a packed lunch with you if you are signing up for both sessions. Thank you.
