8th Annual Family Conference Resources and Inspiration for Adult Family Members & Caregivers of Children with Disabilities

Description

Join us for a light-hearted approach to learning about sensory processing (i.e. why do kids do the goofy things they do), including an introduction to the major concepts and how sensory processing challenges influence development, learning, and most importantly, relationships. Sensory processing is not just for children with Autism; it is appropriate for all diagnoses, including deaf, blind and ADHD. Ideas and strategies will be provided that can be used by parents to address their child’s sensory processing challenges. Parents of children birth-22 and beyond will be encouraged to explore and reflect on their own unique sensory quirks as they attempt to understand the sensory processing challenges that their children may be experiencing. Together in this workshop parents will experience a sense of camaraderie with others going through similar experiences parenting a child with special needs. Questions and discussion will be encouraged and welcomed. Why not have some fun while you learn?
