Session 1:
How to Work with Children: A Sensory Approach
This workshop focuses on the art of working with a child. Using the "10 core elements of good sensory interventions" as our guide, we will discuss strategies for therapists, educators and caregivers to deliver sensory interventions. Topics include: grading activities for the just-right challenge; making the child an ally and partner in interventions; keeping the child regulated; ensuring the child’s safety; and setting up the environment. We will also discuss ways to seamlessly incorporate sensory input into the day.
Session 2:
Environmental Enrichment: A Sensory-Based Protocol to Reduce the Severity of Autism
In this workshop, you will learn how to customize and implement a sensory awareness and desensitization protocol for a child with autism of any age in a home or school setting. This evidence-based protocol (Woo & Leon, 2013, 2015) has been shown to reduce autism severity in children of all ages. You will walk away with 34 rotating activities that develop the child’s awareness to hot/cold, visual, touch, vestibular and sound sensations. Additional activities for speech, physical exercise and emotions are included and can be incorporated into the original protocol. You will learn how to adapt the 34 activities to give the child a just-right challenge. There will be live demonstrations of the activities.
Session 3:
Story-Based 4- and 7-Minute Workouts for the Classroom and Home
Learn story-based high intensity interval training (HIIT) that are fun and will make children giggle as they get in shape. These routines make children strong and give them on-the-spot regulation. We look at three 4-minute classroom routines and a 7-minute home routine. Plus, learn how to make your own FUNterval. You’ll also learn about high intensity interval training (HIIT) and how intensive exercise helps children to self-regulate.

Sensory Enrichment: Using Everyday Activities to Calm Sensitivities and Sensory Craving
Create activities for the fidgety child, the sensitive child and the unmotivated child. This workshop presents new ideas, activities and projects to keep children with sensory modulation disorder happily immersed in pleasant sensation.
