    Join me talking to Lynne Tarrob-Snooks. The Fidget Project website calls me a veteran educator, (which I guess means I've worked at every level within the system, teacher, advisor, inspector), a School Improvement and Wellbeing Consultant and a co-founder / creator of The Thrive Approach (TM). (which was one of the first training approaches to bring the insights of developmental psychology, neuroscience and research on learning together to address the high numbers of children being excluded from schools ). I’m a retired Integrative Psychotherapist and trainer of psychotherapists. More importantly, I am a proud parent of two grown up children, three grandchildren and delighted to be, more recently, the doting parent of a child diagnosed as Autistic. I came out of retirement 2 years ago to co-found The Fidget Project as a CIC, determined to raise awareness of - and improve provision for- children who have sensory processing differences. And their families. The sensory profile of a child is fundamental to the way the child experiences themselves and the world. And this is centrally important to neurodivergent children - those who might go on to get a diagnosis of Autism, ADHD, AuDHD, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia. I live in rural south Devon with my wife and youngest son and two cats. Our dog died nearly three years ago now and we all still miss him. https://thefidgetproject.co.uk Check out their website for activities to mark sensory processing month in October! This October, The Fidget Project is bringing a brand new kind of festival to South Devon: a sensory-aware festival series designed for neurodivergent and sensory-sensitive children and their families. No overwhelming crowds you have to brace for. No "just try to sit still." Just spaces built from the ground up to be welcoming, inclusive and genuinely sensory-aware. Across Torquay, Totnes, Dartmouth, Kingsbridge and Ivybridge, families can expect a full month of experiences including sensory play and fidget tools, creative workshops, music and performance, movement and yoga, forest school activities, family workshops and community events. Follow along as we reveal dates, venues and providers over the coming weeks, and be part of a festival built for families who deserve places where everyone can take part. Sign-up to the newsletter to make sure you don’t miss out! www.thefidgetproject.co.uk/fidget-fest-2026 mail@thefidgetproject.org
