Sensory Processing

The nervous system impacts how your students function, their ability to regulate their emotions and in turn their successful engagement in your classroom.

This full-day course looks at the model of sensory processing and the current research into student’s arousal and emotional regulation. Participants will carry out standardized sensory assessments and an Adult Sensory Profile to gain a deeper understanding of how sensory information is processed. It will also provide a better understanding of the experiences of your students.

Learn practical ideas for managing differences between students and ensure that your children with autism cope with their environment and increase their ability to learn and engage in your school.

Explore the different types of approaches for managing sensory processing disorders including adapting the environment, the task and child-specific techniques to support arousal levels.

This course is relevant to teachers, support staff, childcare educators, and other professionals from health and social services working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder who present with sensory needs.
