ABOUT THE COURSE
Have you heard the term "sensory processing" and wondered what it's all about and why it matters? This is the course for YOU!
Are you supporting children who are "struggling"? Maybe they are displaying aggressive behaviours, or finding it difficult to cope with change, or they bounce from one thing to another, or they are having difficulty with their motor skills.
We all have children, at various times who appear to be struggling. When we can look beyond what we see on the outside and begin to look at the sensory implications, a whole new story may begin to emerge, and our way of supporting these children will evolve too.
This is the first course in a suite that we are putting together, developed and delivered by occupational therapist Bonnie Berry. In this first course, Bonnie introduces educators to the importance of Sensory Processing.
What will I learn from this course?
You will finish this course with an overwhelming amount of new information and knowledge regarding sensory processing and why it is so important in our work with children.
What the PEO model of Occupational Therapy is
Bonnie shares insight into the PEO (Person, Environment, Occupation) model of occupational therapy, supporting you to understand these and how they may apply in your work with children.
An understanding of concepts such as "arousal regulation"
Using detailed diagrams and support information, Bonnie unpacks some of those tricky terms, supporting educators to understand what this looks like in practice.
Simple considerations for our environment
Bonnie will prompt you to think about how your environment, and your practice within it, impacts the sensory processing and regulation of the people in it!
