Date: January 10th, 2025
Time: 11am CST/ 12pm EST
Description: Step into the world of sensory regulation with us, as we begin putting together the many pieces of behavior to form each child's unique puzzle. This interactive session will allow space for discovery, exploring challenging behaviors from three sensory lenses: sensory avoiders, sensory seekers, and under-responders. Each lens will provide an understanding of how it shapes children's behavior, unmet needs, and learning styles. This training seeks to unlock the mysteries of sensory regulation needs, supporting professionals in how to spot these sensory strengths in action and utilize creative strategies to support the little's we serve. Professionals will walk away with fun, easy-to-use T.I.P.S., creating a buzz of engagement and understanding."
