2. Sensory and Classroom accomodations for Neurodivergent students

Small changes in classrooms can have a big impact on a child's functioning! This workshop explores sensory processing, and the impact that the environment has on autistic and ADHDers.  We look at practical strategies that can be implemented, and tips on how to become a sensory detective.

3. Building connections and relationships: Supporting Social skills in an affirming way

6. Get set for school! Helping preschoolers develop social/emotional and motor skills for a smooth transition

Our preschoolers are not playing like they used to! Now better at swiping iPads than climbing trees or holding crayons.. and it's having an impact. This workshop explores social/emotional, fine/visual motor development and outlines evidence based strategies to support all students, maximising their 'readiness' for school.
