The Train 4 ALN goal
At Train4ALN, our primary goal is to ensure that children with additional learning needs receive the support and resources necessary to thrive in both educational and home environments. We are committed to empowering those who work closely with these children—teachers, parents, caregivers, and support staff—by providing them with the specialised professional training and strategies they need to foster an inclusive and supportive environment.
Our focus is on creating environments where every child, regardless of their learning challenges, feels valued, understood, and capable of achieving their potential. By offering tailored training programs that address the unique cognitive, sensory, and emotional needs of children with learning differences, we aim to bridge the gap between traditional education and the diverse learning needs of each individual child.
We envisage a world where educators and caregivers are fully equipped to recognise and nurture each child's strengths, ensuring that no child is left behind. Our goal extends beyond immediate classroom and caregiving solutions, aiming to cultivate a broader understanding of inclusion, resilience, and empathy within communities. By spreading awareness and fostering inclusive practices, we hope to inspire systemic change that creates better outcomes for children with additional learning needs, both now and in the future.
What Do We Do?
Fun Sessions (Saturday Club) is a dedicated time for children with sensory needs to explore and engage in sensory-friendly activities in a calm and supportive environment. These sessions are designed to cater to various sensory preferences, offering a range of hands-on experiences that promote relaxation, learning, and social interaction.
Our professional training provides educators, parents, professionals and caregivers with the skills and knowledge to support children with additional learning needs. Training sessions can be tailored to meet your specific needs. Through expert-led sessions, participants learn practical strategies for creating inclusive, nurturing environments that foster the growth and development of every child.
Outreach in Lesotho. Wales is twinned with Lesotho which has led us to develop outreach in Lesotho, Africa. This mission is close to our heart. Our community interest group enhances education and care for children with additional learning needs in Lesotho. We provide resources, training, and developmental activities, empowering caregivers and fostering inclusive environments to help these children reach their full potential.
Professional Training
Train4ALN's professional training equips educators, parents, and caregivers with practical strategies to support children with additional learning needs. Our training focuses on practical strategies that can be applied to real life learning. Our tailored sessions cover inclusive teaching, sensory management, and behaviour strategies, helping create nurturing environments where every child can thrive.
Outreach In Lesotho
Train4aln is dedicated to working in partnership with professionals in Lesotho to support the development of robust educational provision for children with additional learning needs in Lesotho, Africa. We work closely with local schools, caregivers, and communities to raise awareness of a range of disabilities, by providing training and so empowering schools to take ownership and sustain their development of resources. Through our outreach programs, we aim to work collaboratively with teachers, in situ in Lesotho in conjunction with Dolen Cymru.
A key part of our mission involves traveling to Lesotho several times a year. During these visits, our team spends time with the children, organising activities that focus on sensory engagement, communication development, and motor skills through adapted sports sessions and equipment. These activities are designed to be both educational and fun, ensuring that the children receive the attention and stimulation they need in a nurturing environment.
