Workshop description:

 

This presentation is designed for therapists, teachers, parents, caregivers and

other professionals who are interested in understanding the fundamentals of

sensory processing and its impact on attention, behaviour, social engagement,

creative thinking, purpose driven play and learning. Genevieve offers practical

and powerful tools to help support children “learn and thrive from the inside

outâ€.  Participants will be able to add beneficial experiences to the sensory

diets of the children they care for. Respiration and it effects on behaviour,

learning and attention will be presented along with practical tools to support

the breath at home, in the classroom or in the social environment. Participants

will be exposed to a multitude of activities involving rhythm and movement to

implement immediately when leaving the workshop with the children they care

for.  A relationship based approach to interacting with your children to

support problem solving,

motor planning, creative thinking, building bridges between ideas and social

connectiveness will also be presented  in specific detail. The speaker will

address how sensory processing difficulties affect many children, both with and

without the diagnoses of autism spectrum disorders, aspergers syndrome, adhd,

add, learning challenges and other developmental and neurological challenges. 

The speaker will describe how, both recognised and undetected, sensory

processing difficulties in children can significantly impact social and

emotional relationships, behaviour, attention and learning in the classroom,
