Supporting Sensory Integration - Macon
We know that young children learn by exploring the world around them with their senses. It is important for caregivers to plan activities that encourage exploration with touch, sight, hearing, taste and smell. For some children, this processing of sensory information may be 'out of balance'. These children have difficulty organizing, prioritizing, and adapting to the wide variety of sensory input they receive, and these challenges can interfere with the ability to learn from and interact with their environment, peers and adults. This session will provide an overview of the three basic types of sensory processing disorders: sensory seekers, sensory avoiders, and sensory under-responders. This session will also explore ways to create a 'sensory aware' learning environment that is responsive to a wide range of needs and abilities.
