Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) in Children
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) in Children
From an Occupational Therapy Perspective
Most activities require us to combine information from many different senses at the same time. As they grow, children learn how to take in and process all this sensory information at the same time, and focus their attention on particular sensations while ignoring others. Some children have difficulties receiving and/or processing incoming sensations, making everyday tasks at home and school frustrating.
The workshop is aimed to:
- Understanding why Sensory Integration is so important in Children
- Understanding it’s impact on Learning and Development
- Learn how Sensory Processing Disorder is identified
- Learn about Integrative Treatment Techniques
- How to create a “Sensory Smart” classroom environment
