Mark Pearson and Helen Wilkinson, co-directors of the Expressive Therapies Institute of Australia, have been invited to the UK by Early Education.
They will be holding courses in Blackpool and London in late October.
The courses, designed for early years practitioners, as well as counsellors, psychologists, social workers and health workers, aim to enable professionals to help children, particularly those with 'limited verbal capacity', to express their feelings through sandplay.
