Children with ADHD and Sensory Processing Challenges

Description

All children face many challenges today. These challenges are continually changing in our cyber world, and affect learning, gross and fine motor development and problem solving skills. Understanding the Body-Brain connection and the relationship between learning and movement is crucial for improving a child’s school performance and functional abilities. Children with ADHD, Autism and stress-related disorders face even greater challenges. A clear understanding of the specific brain differences with these disorders and their implications is essential for successful interventions.

This dynamic one day course will teach participants to improve brain function as it relates to learning in children with autism and other sensory challenges. Drawing upon the most up to date brain research, this workshop will provide a thorough understanding of the brain’s impact on a child’s success. Participants will learn the significance of the mind-body connection, and how to set up brain neurochemistry for the most effective learning and best performance. Participants will leave this workshop with strategies that can be implemented immediately in the classroom and therapy settings.
