Outline:Sensory processing helps us to understand and function in the world around us and to react and interact appropriately. It is the foundation for all development. Our senses receive information from both outside and inside our body and provide us with the information we need to cope with the demands of our environments. To be able to learn, children need to be at the right level of alertness or arousal. Sensory dysfunction interferes with a child’s ability to attend, participate and learn in their various environments (i.e. home and school) and will have a major impact on their social and academic development.
The workshop aims to provide participants with an overview with regard to:
• An understanding of sensory processing
• Knowledge of how sensory processing affects social and academic performance
• Identifying sensory processing dysfunction in their students
• Practical strategies that can be used in classroom and child care environments
Whilst there has always been a strong association between Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Sensory Processing Dysfunction (SPD), we are now finding that many children are now presenting with SPD who are not on the spectrum. Therefore, this workshop is beneficial for teachers, aides, learning support staff, and childcare staff.
