Looking at Behavior with New Eyes

Description

All behavior has meaning! Understanding the ways in which children take in, process and respond to sensory information enables parents, caregivers and teachers an alternative lens through which to observe and interpret behavior, as well as to modify their interaction styles, curriculum and environmental design. Participants will learn about the “lesser known” sensory systems, the interrelated components of sensory processing and the concepts of sensory modulation and sensory threshold. The importance of cue reading will be examined as a window into understanding each child’s unique sensory-neurological profile. This webinar will conclude with an interactive discussion of the ways in which this information can be utilized in a variety of settings.
