The day will include the following:
- Is it sensory or behaviour?
An information session to helping early childhood professionals understand the impact that sensory processing may have on a child’s behaviour i.e. movement seeking, task avoidance, non-compliance, attention and concentration difficulties.
- Promoting positive behaviour
This session will explore aspects of difficult behaviours, both overt and passive. Discussions will include looking at ways to measure the frequency and duration, what happens before the behaviour, replacing difficult behaviour, developing planned routines.
- Using visual aids
This session provides information on how visual aids can help all children communicate and participate more effectively in a range of activities e.g. understanding the routine, following adult direction, transitions.
