Workshop Description

Everyone differs in their ability to process and respond to information from their senses (Sight, Touch Hear, Smell, Taste, Vestibular, Proprioception, Introception). Most children easily regulate the variety of sensory input. Some, however, become over stimulated or under stimulated by their senses. This dysregulation impacts behavior and learning. In this workshop, we will discuss how sensory input can affect children and what strategies parents can use to help children regulate their senses. We will provide visual supports that parents can print and use at home, recipes for sensory play, and tips for making the home environment sensory friendly.
