HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be speaking with an expert in sensory play, [GUEST'S NAME]. They're here to tell us about an exciting new course, the Certificate Programme in Sensory Play for Sensory Play Instruments. Can you tell us a bit about what sensory play is and why it's important? GUEST: Absolutely, sensory play is a type of activity that engages children's senses, including touch, sight, smell, taste, and hearing. It's crucial for early childhood development as it helps children to understand their environment, improve their motor skills and cognitive growth, and build social and emotional skills. HOST: Fascinating. And this course is designed to help early childhood educators, therapists, and parents create more engaging sensory experiences for children. Can you share any personal experiences or insights related to the course topic? GUEST: Sure, I've seen firsthand how sensory play can benefit children with special needs. By creating tailored sensory activities and tools, we can help these children to develop their sensory integration skills and build confidence in their abilities. HOST: That's wonderful. I understand that the course covers current industry trends relevant to sensory play. Could you tell us a bit about what those trends are? GUEST: Certainly, one trend is the increasing focus on inclusivity in sensory play. We're seeing more and more sensory play spaces that cater to children of all abilities, which is a great step forward for promoting accessibility and socialization. HOST: That's really important. Now, as with any subject, there must be challenges faced in the field or while learning/teaching this subject. Can you share any challenges you've encountered? GUEST: One challenge is ensuring that sensory play experiences are safe and age-appropriate. Children can be curious and experimental, so it's important to use non-toxic, durable materials and to supervise their play closely. HOST: That's a great point. Finally, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the future of sensory play and where you see this industry heading. GUEST: I believe that sensory play will continue to grow in popularity as people recognize its benefits for child development.
