Every wiggle, fidget, or zoning-out moment in the classroom can be a clue to something deeper—sensory needs. In this dynamic, hands-on session led by an Occupational Therapist and an Adaptive Physical Education (APE) teacher, participants will gain a foundational understanding of how sensory processing affects behavior, attention, and learning. Learn how to identify common sensory needs, distinguish between sensory-seeking and sensory-avoidant behaviors, and implement practical, movement-based strategies to support regulation in inclusive classrooms. You’ll leave with easy-to-use tools, real-life examples, and a deeper appreciation for how sensory-aware teaching creates calm, focused, and successful learners.
