This four session cohort  is  designed to support educators serving students with disability-related needs in the areas of sensory and regulation. The way our body takes in,  interprets and reacts to the world can vary for a variety of reasons.  In this training participants will be introduced to this process and possible places students might be experiencing differences that cause unexpected reactions.  Staying curious and learning more about a student's perspective and how their body is adapting can support educators and families to be able to support that student be the best them they can be.   Through looking at our sensory processing systems and our regulatory systems we can build supports to help students navigate the world they are experiencing.

Students who exhibit behavior that is challenging to adults often struggle with cognitive flexibility and resilience.  When the brain lacks access to its ability to gain and send out certain information, it may result in behavior that can look very rigid.  In turn, a student who is struggling with adapting to adversity may be struggling with resilience.  In this training, participants will learn about the components of flexibility, resilience, and how their practice can influence a student's growth in these areas.   We will look at the effects of a system that struggles to naturally cope with adversity and how to teach methods to be flexible when our brain wants to be rigid.

The ability to be a social partner is a complicated system. Many of us learned skills without much conscious awareness because the systems of learning matched the way our brain showed up.  When our brain does not take in and process social information in the same way as those around us, it can result in a mismatch within our interactions.  In this training we will explore components of how we socially communicate and, when our brain thinks differently, how that can cause a student to be misunderstood, have social mishaps or mismatched interactions.   Communication modes and how we communicate in context will be addressed.

(Formally known as =Social Communication -Before Words Focus)

Students who do not use verbal language as their main communication mode are often misunderstood. At times, their communications modes are ignored, misunderstood or viewed as wrong or bad.  Behavior that is challenging to us is only challenging until we know strategies to meet learners where they are.  Come increase your understanding of how to show up for students who may have significant support needs.

Educators and families can better support a child by staying curious, learning more about the child's perspective and understanding how their body is adapting to circumstances and experiences. Through looking at our sensory processing systems and our regulatory systems we can build supports to help students navigate the world they are experiencing.
