Educator Training

Sensory Processing and Emotional Regulation

It’s a big jump from knowing about the idea of ‘sensory’ to using this approach to implement strategies to support children’s behaviour, learning and development.

Developing the capacity to regulate their emotions is a big job for all children. There are many things that can make this more complex, maybe sensory processing difficulties, anxiety or mental health issues,

exposure to trauma or a diagnosis can mean that developing the capacity to regulate their emotions can be really challenging.

At almost every center I visit, educators tell me that increasing numbers of children are
needing support for their emotional needs.
Targeted, individualised sensory approaches can help meet this challenge.

It’s time to join the dots between sensory processing and how we can use this framework to support children’s behaviour and emotional regulation.

This research backed training includes:

  • The 8 senses and how these relate to child development.
  • What to look for in the everyday ways children play, learn and interact from a sensory perspective and what to do when children are struggling.
  • Practical approaches to implementing sensory strategies to support children’s behavioural, attentional and emotional regulation.
  • Considering environmental modifications to accommodate children’s sensory patterns and functioning at your center.
  • Developing skills identifying potential sensory processing difficulties and ways to think through the needs of specific children.
  • Understanding sensory strategies and equipment to implement these approaches in your center.
  • Ways to approach difficult conversations with parents, when children are struggling, that enhance the childs strengths and supports meaningful problem solving.

Personalised and tailored approach

Do you have specific children you need help with? During this session, educators can use their own children as case studies for Sarah to provide practical strategies to implement following the session.
We have the framework, now let’s turn it into knowing what to do.

It is recommended that all training is accompanied by ‘on the floor’ mentoring sessions to support educators to implement the strategies learned in this training session.
