A busy classroom can be an overwhelming environment for a child with sensory processing difficulties because of the level of noise, visual clutter, lack of space and need to be still. This makes it very difficult for them to learn. Understanding more about SPD can enable us to put simple, yet effective strategies into place to allow our children to be ready to learn.

 

1. What is sensory processing difficulty?
2. Overview of each sense and how children can be affected  
3. How we can help – strategies, resources and equipment available that can help children with SPD feel more regulated and ready to learn.
4. Workshops - how does it feel? What it feels like to have a sensory processing difficulty.

Target Group Teachers and teaching assistants supporting pupils who have sensory processing difficulties.
