Sensory Integration: Recognizing and Responding to Young Children with Sensory Issues

Thursday, December 10, 2015 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EST

Sensory Integration: Recognizing and Responding to Young Children with Sensory Issues

Presented by Christy Isbell, PhD OTR/L, Milligan College, TN
Sponsored by Kaplan Early Learning Company

WATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING

Do you know how to work with young children who have sensory processing disorder (SPD)? At least 1 in 20 young children has a sensory processing disorder. The number is even greater in children with autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities. Learn about the brain process, sensory integration, how it affects young children’s learning, and their behaviors. Red flags for the identification of children who have sensory processing disorder and are “sensory seekers” or “sensory avoiders” will be discussed.

Viewers will gain simple, easy-to-use solutions to address the sensory needs of young children, preschool through 2nd grade. Many of these ideas will positively impact the learning environment for all children, not just those who have sensory processing problems.

Christy Isbell shared information that every early childhood teacher should know:

  • What is Sensory Integration (SI)?
  • Ways to identify children with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)
    • “Sensory Seeker”
    • “Sensory Avoider”
  • Practical solutions to meet the needs of individual children who have Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)

Join the Classroom Management for Early Learning community to participate in online discussions with peers, for invitations to upcoming webinars, to view past webinar recordings, to take a quiz and receive a CE certificate for a past webinar, and for access to more resources.
