This class is designed for all teachers who are interested in understanding Sensory Processing Disorders and how this relates to students in the classroom, both general education as well as special education. Secondary Focus.
Have you ever wondered what to do with your children who wiggle and can't attend, or the child who comes in from recess wet, sandy and unaware? What about the "checked-out" middle schooler with the hoodie up and ear buds in? If these students seem hard to reach for you, then this is the class for you. We will cover what the terms sensory processing and sensory differences mean, and how they impact the children in our classrooms and their learning. This class contains practical classroom application of sensory processing ideas, measures to identify children who are struggling to focus due to sensory differences and suggestions to help them. The information is applicable for grades K-12.
Clock hours are available for all participants. Through a BEST grant, we are also able to offer first-year special education teachers pay for their attendance.
