Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Processing Differences in the Classroom

About the Course
Teachers will actively participate in online learning to further develop their understanding of sensory processing disorders in the classroom. We will be exploring the eight senses (touch, smell, taste, hearing, vision, vestibular, proprioception, and interoception) and how to recognize when a student is having difficulty tuning in or filtering out information in the school environment. We will also learn how to help these students in the classroom with simple accommodations and strategies.
This course is appropriate for all teachers and special education staff but will be geared towards primary teachers and special education staff. Teacher librarians, instructional coaches, and administrators are invited to join us.

Loved this class! Even after being in the classroom for more than 30 years, I learned lots of new things and updated my thinking around SPD, along with some new strategies to try.

Some differences among children are harder to see than others. This class helped me understand our sensory systems and how I can respond to and help children with sensory differences.
