Sensory Versus Behavior
Friday March 7, 2025 8:40am - 9:20am CST
Do you find it challenging to determine if a child’s actions are caused by sensory needs or behavioral choices? Understanding the difference can make a huge impact on how we support young learners.
In this session, we’ll cover:
  • What sensory processing is and how it affects learning and behavior.
  • Simple ways to determine if a child’s actions are sensory-driven or behavior-based.
  • Practical strategies to address both sensory needs and behavior challenges effectively.
This session is perfect for teachers and staff who want to create calm and supportive environments for children. Learn how to respond with confidence and help every child succeed!
