Please note this is a repeat of a very popular webinar held last September.

“When little people are overwhelmed by big emotions, it's our job to share our calm, not join their chaos.”​ L.R. Knost

Today, we are hearing more about sensory needs in our classrooms, but what exactly is sensory processing and how can we, as special needs assistants and teachers, support children who experience such difficulties in the classroom?

This course will provide an overview of the sensory systems, sensory processing and how we can identify potential sensory overload in the school environment. Participants will learn practical strategies to support a child experiencing sensory processing difficulties.
