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.
