Dr Kathy Weston

In this episode, we chat with Kyleigh Melville, a PhD candidate at the University of Edinburgh and experienced SEND educator, about the power and potential of multi-sensory environments in schools. Drawing on her research and frontline experience, Kyleigh explores how these spaces can support neurodivergent students, the importance of co-design and staff training, and provides some practical tips for getting started. The conversation also touches on LEGO-based therapy and why inclusive, student-informed practice is key to meaningful outcomes.
