Introductory Level
Audience: Occupational and Physical Therapists, Speech-Language Pathologists, Teachers, Early Educators, Parents, and interested others
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, behavior,
social engagement, creative thinking, purpose driven play and learning.
Genevieve Jereb offers practical and powerful tools to help support children to “learn and thrive from the inside out.” Participants will be able to add beneficial experiences to the sensory diets of the children for whom they care.
Respiration and its effects on behavior, 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.
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.
Ms. Jereb will address how sensory processing difficulties affect many children, both with and without the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders, Aspergers Syndrome,ADHD,ADD, learning challenges and other developmental and neurological challenges.
Sensory processing differences in children, both recognized and undetected, can significantly impact social and emotional relationships, behavior, attention and learning in the classroom, home and clinic.
Objectives: Participants will be able to:

Objectives: Participants will be able to:
- Describe sensory integration, sensory modulation and sensory discrimination and the role they play in the learning process.
- Identify problems relating to sensory processing challenges (i.e., difficulties impacting attention, behaviour, learning and social engagement).
- Participate in, and generate, activities and inputs designed to support children who are “traffic-jammed.”
- Outline strategies to take back to the classroom, home or clinic for use with all children whether they present with sensory processing challenges or are developing typically.
- Implement strategies for effective engagement and connection to support overall emotional regulation, social relationships, focus, attention, problem solving and motor planning abilities.
