Summary
*Online Training presented through Microsoft Teams Online*
We know that young children learn by exploring the world around them with their senses. It is important for caregivers to plan activities that encourage exploration with touch, sight, hearing, taste, and smell. For some children, this processing of sensory information may be 'out of balance'. These children have difficulty organizing, prioritizing, and adapting to the wide variety of sensory input they receive, and these challenges can interfere with the ability to learn from and interact with their environment, peers, and adults. This session will provide an overview of the three basic types of sensory processing disorders: sensory seekers, sensory avoiders, and sensory under-responders. This session will also explore ways to create a 'sensory aware' learning environment that is responsive to a wide range of needs and abilities.

Description
Presented By: Angela Clark
Objectives:
- Understand typical sensory integration
- Indentify behaviors of sensory processing disorders
- Explore strategies to help children with sensory processing disorders
Core Competencies:
4b: Understand and use teaching skills that are responsive to the learning trajectories of young children and to the needs of each child, recognizing that differentiating instruction, incorporating play as a core teaching practice, and supporting the development of executive function skills are critical for young children. (1 Hour)
5c: Modify teaching practices by applying, expanding, integrating, and updating their content knowledge in the disciplines, their knowledge of curriculum content resources, and their pedagogical content knowledge. (1 Hour)
CDAs: Physical and Intellectual Competence (2 Hours)
