Information on the October event:
This session is for parents and carers of children with suspected sensory needs. Join Sadie Charlton, Sensory Occupational Therapist from Virtual School Rotherham, for an enlightening and informative 1-hour virtual workshop, "Understanding Sensory Struggles," designed to empower you with the knowledge and strategies needed to better support your child's unique sensory needs.
Session content:
- Sensory Processing Unveiled: Delve into the world of sensory processing and understand how it shapes your child's daily experiences.
- Unlocking Sensory Patterns: Learn about sensory sensitivities, sensory-seeking behaviours, and how these patterns influence your child's behaviour and well-being.
- The Eight Senses: Explore not only the traditional five senses but also the often-overlooked senses that play a crucial role in your child's life.
- Recognising Signs: Gain insights into the common signs and behaviours associated with sensory processing difficulties.
- Practical Strategies: Discover effective strategies and interventions to create a sensory-friendly environment and support your child's sensory needs.
This session is for information purposes only. Sadie is unable to give specific advice or recommendations for individual children. If you are worried about the sensory needs of the child you care for, then please contact your school SENDCo or virtual school advisor.
