Sensory Processing, Swings and Supports
When: December 9, 10, 2021 from 9am to 5pm (Beijing time zone)
Description
So many therapists, educators, psychologists are talking the “buzz” words of Sensory Processing these days. What does this mean exactly? How does a professional, or a parent, understand what it truly is? This workshop will not only define the different sensory systems in depth, but it will also cover multiple ideas as to how to intervene and use the equipment that would be part of a sensory gym. Theory will be covered, but the bulk of the workshop will focus on equipment and videos showing multiple ideas as to what to do with different pieces of equipment. The participant will leave the workshop equipped with a practical understanding to explain sensory processing as well as multiple ideas to ensure having great fun with kids while also supporting their development and ability to thrive and learn.

With the huge variety of courses I attended and taught throughout my professional life (33 years), I found listening to Maude being really special, informative, and enjoyable.
