Understanding Sensory Processing Disorder
Join our experienced Occupational Therapist, Tatiana Radunovic, for an informative and engaging workshop designed specifically for parents looking to better understand Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) and its impact on children’s daily life. Sensory processing refers to how our brain processes and responds to information received from the senses. For children with SPD, this process can be disrupted, leading to challenges with everyday activities such as academic achievement, behavior, emotional regulation and social interactions.
In this workshop, parents will:
- Learn what sensory processing is and how it affects children’s behavior, emotions, and development.
- Explore common signs and symptoms of SPD and how they may manifest in children of different ages.
- Gain practical strategies and tools to help support your child’s sensory needs at home, at school, and in social settings.
- Discover how sensory integration therapy can improve a child’s ability to process sensory information and respond more appropriately to the environment.
- Understand the role of occupational therapy in treating SPD and how it can promote better functioning and quality of life for your child.
- Participate in an interactive Q&A session to address your specific questions.
