Education Training Packages

The Owl Centre delivers high-quality training for nurseries, schools and colleges, giving staff the confidence and resources to support students across key areas of development. Our sessions are practical, evidence-informed, and tailored to real classroom and early years environments.

We specialise in three core areas:

  • Identifying and responding to speech and language difficulties

  • Autism, ADHD, and executive functioning
