Speaker Bio
Daniel Hasegawa is the Business Development Manager for Excite Credit Union. Before Excite, Daniel held various managerial and training roles at World Savings, Wachovia Bank, and Chevron Federal Credit Union, but he actually started his career as a teacher. So, while he can talk finance and development with the best of them, Daniel is known for his warm, patient interpersonal style.

Taller 4 - Apoyos sensoriales (español)
Audiencia a que se dirigirá el taller : Padres
Idioma: español
Descripción del taller:
Todos difieren en su capacidad para procesar y responder a la información de sus sentidos (vista, tacto, oído, olfato, gusto, vestibular, propiocepción, introcepción). La mayoría de los niños regulan fácilmente la variedad de información sensorial. Algunos, sin embargo, se vuelven sobre estimulados o subestimulados por sus sentidos. Esta desregulación afecta el comportamiento y el aprendizaje. En este taller, discutiremos cómo la información sensorial puede afectar a los niños y qué estrategias pueden usar los padres para ayudar a los niños a regular sus sentidos. Proporcionaremos apoyos visuales que los padres pueden imprimir y usar en casa, recetas para el juego sensorial y consejos para hacer que el ambiente del hogar sea sensorialmente amigable.

Sunday Friends empowers very low income families to break the generational cycle of poverty by fostering positive development in children and equipping parents to invest in their children’s life success.
