The Communication Friendly Spaces Approach (CFS) focuses on ways that the environment can be used to develop communication skills, emotional well-being and physical development.
Elizabeth Jarman says, “It’s so important to connect the physical with your vision for the
children. It’s essential to see the environment from the child’s perspective and create
develop mentally appropriate, meaningful learning spaces, which reflect their preferred contexts for learning.
The CFS Approach involves a great deal more than merely altering the appearance of a learning space. Understanding the theoretical base is key. During this challenging session, Elizabeth will share many images and some short video clips, to demonstrate ways that professionals working in a variety of contexts hove reviewed their environments to make them more enabling. Key strands of Elizabeth’s research will be highlighted, for example:
- Maximising the use of to set the context for learning
- Effective storage and resource management
- Resources ‘worth investigating’
- The impact of noise
- Informed use of colour
- The effects of light
