Body Processing: Regulation and Sensory - April 18, 2023

The way our body takes in, interprets and reacts to the world can vary for a variety of reasons. In this training participants will be introduced to this process and possible places students might be experiencing differences that cause unexpected reactions. Educators and families can better support a child by staying curious, learning more about the child's perspective and understanding how their body is adapting to circumstances and experiences. Through looking at our sensory processing systems and our regulatory systems we can build supports to help students navigate the world they are experiencing.
