Join Heidi Mavir, Specialist EOTAS Advocate for EOTAS 101 - A Parent's Guide to Education Other Than At School.

Unfortunately, due to EOTAS being quite uncommon, the lack of support for families and lots of misinformation within Local Authorities, securing an EOTAS package for your child via an EHCP can be a stressful, confusing and frustrating process. Heidi will unpick the myths around EOTAS and help you understand how it all works. By the end of this webinar you will understand What EOTAS is, whether it's likely to be the right fit for your child, and how to go about securing your EOTAS package.

This will include new content to cover new case law for 2023.   

Heidi is joined by Kirsteen Wilshere to look at how barriers to attendance show up and the progression of "symptoms" of school-based anxiety, along with the science of trauma, memory and triggers, and understanding the window of tolerance. 

They will share the science behind nervous system regulation and look at some of the common mistakes professionals make when trying to address barriers to attendance.

Many neurodivergent children experience joint pain, muscle weakness, issues with proprioception, core stability challenges and have sensory needs. In spite of these being clear signs of hypermobility, a common co-occuring condition with Autism and other Neurodivergencies, many children and young people go undiagnosed.

In this new Webinar, designed by Heidi Mavir, Founder of EOTAS Matters and Specialist Physio, Jo McMeechan, you will learn:

• What is Hypermobility?
• What's the link with Neurodivergence?
• Where and how does pain factor in hypermobility?
• How to support a child or young person who has hypermobility (including exercises you can use at home)

• Look at the effects that trauma has on people's minds and bodies
