We are excited to begin this webinar series! We designed these workshops based on years of feedback from our caregiver support group, Sensory Seminar lecture series, and our own mixed-methods research. Our goal is to provide a space for gathering knowledge and connecting with others for mutual support and learning in a small group setting.

The series will begin with an informative session led by one of our occupational therapists. During this session the therapist will share information (handouts provided) on a specific topic and answer questions in a small group setting. The next session will be a discussion led by our experienced group facilitator, and parent of a sensory kid! Each week will build on the next, with specific topics presented by our therapist in the informative sessions, and family support sessions to allow time for sharing and connecting with other parents to dive deeper into each topic.

Topics for this series will include:

• Sensory systems & arousal regulation
  • Learn how:
    • sensory differences (your child’s and your own!) impact the ability to self-regulate
    • to understand your child’s responses to sensory input
    • to use sensory strengths to support your child’s regulation
  • Nervous system function & relationship – Why we play
    • Learn about:
      • nervous system differences with sensory processing challenges
      • how relationships support developing nervous systems
      • the essential role of play in developing self-regulation and social skills
    • Relationship-based strategies – Learn strategies to support engagement and relationships and ultimately
      • Learn:
        • specific strategies to teach self-regulation
        • to build resilience through play
        • how to respond during meltdowns
