Tools for Infants: Sensory Based Strategies for Parents, Caregivers & Early Intervention Providers

Description

Help is on the way for those who either have, or are working with infants. This seminar is designed to offer practical sensory strategies to improve your infant’s ability to function in natural environments. Tools for Infants offers a variety of sensory safe tools which enrich sensory experiences for infants whose nervous systems are challenged (e.g. sensory processing disorder, autism spectrum disorder, or learning disorder). However, using these strategies will encourage optimal development in all infants, even those who are neuro-typical. Use these sensory tools in naturally occurring daily routines in your infant’s home, child care center or early intervention program. Topics include Simply Sucking, Texture Transition, Tummy Time, Diaper Doody, Nighty Night and more! Learn how to help Fussy Firecrackers, Pukey Peanuts, Mushy Muffins, Wiggly Worms, Bumbling Babies, and Fussy Firecrackers. Updates in sensory processing, treatment videos and case studies will be shared. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn some simple swaddling and massage techniques. Dress comfortably to personally experience how movement can affect alertness!
