Sensory Processing Conference by Carol Kranowitz

[Guest guest]

Catching Kids Before They Fall: How to Help Children with Sensory Processing Disorder Presented by Carol Stock Kranowitz, M.A., author of The Out-of-Sync Child Some children withdraw from physical contact, refuse to participate in typical classroom and playground activities that their peers enjoy, or respond in unusual ways to ordinary sensations of touch, movement, sights and sounds. These children don't behave as we expect - not because they won’t, but because they can’t. Parents, therapists and educators are invited to discover how to improve learning and behavior of children with sensory processing disorders. Participants in this comprehensive two-day workshop will learn · the basics of Sensory Processing; · how to recognize

Sensory Processing Disorder; · the causes of SPD; · how sensory processing affects

children's learning, social, communication and adaptive skills, as well as their overall development; · how SPD exacerbates autism and other developmental disorders; · what are Occupational Therapy and Sensory Integration, and how they help SPD; · on-the-spot, over-the-counter therapeutic techniques that anyone can employ to help children with SPD; · how parents, teachers and professionals can collaborate to bring some order into the lives of children dealing with SPD; · safe, appropriate, fun and easy sensory-motor activities for kids to do at home and school.
