Description:
Join us for an in-depth, full-day, in-person training, Beyond the Fidget: Understanding Sensory Needs and Behavior, designed to help educators answer the critical question: Is it sensory or is it behavior?

During this workshop, participants will become familiar with sensory-seeking, sensory-avoiding, and sensory-sensitive behaviors and how these patterns impact attention, emotional regulation, and classroom behavior. The training will emphasize practical, evidence-based sensory tools, environmental supports, and regulation strategies that go beyond fidgets and are aligned to the function of behavior.

Opportunities will be provided for discussion, case examples, and application of strategies to real classroom situations. Participants will leave with concrete tools and strategies that can be immediately implemented to support regulation, reduce escalation, and improve student engagement and behavior.

6 PD/EILA Hours will be provided for the training.
