Why Is Understanding Sensory Challenges Essential to Every Student’s Success?

Did you know that up to 1 out of 6 of your students has sensory processing disorder?

But that doesn’t include students who have general sensory difficulties, which can inhibit their learning, behavior, and mood.

There is often a gap in understanding how sensory processing affects a student’s ability to be happily engaged in their classwork and create important social connections with their peers.

What Happens When Sensory Challenges Go Unaddressed?

Students who are struggling with processing sensory input will have a harder time:

Sitting Still During Class

Focusing on Assignments

Self-Regulating Behavior

Social Skills with Classmates

Who Is This Training Designed For?

Educators

Elementary, middle, and high school educators.

Therapists

Therapists working in the school setting.

Other Professionals

Those who work with children within the school setting, such as paraeducators.

This course is GOLD

“As an OT working in the schools, this course is GOLD for both therapists (OT, SLP, PT) and educators! Rachel and Jessica provide the WHY behind classroom behaviors and simple strategies to implement right away! They simplify complex concepts such as sensory processing difficulties and primitive reflexes. Since taking the course, I find myself sharing the resources with teachers and parents daily. 10/10 recommend!”

We are two very passionate Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants who specialize in Sensory Integration and Primitive Reflex Integration.

Our goal is to empower and educate families, caregivers, therapists, and educators to ultimately create strong, confident children!

Get up to speed on Sensory Processing Disorder and Retained Primitive Reflexes. Understanding these two challenges will help you better understand and evaluate what students are struggling with.

MODULE 3

Is it Sensory or Behavior?

One of the first steps to better classroom management is understanding why a student is having issues. We’ll help you evaluate if a student is simply acting out, or if they are struggling with specific sensory challenges in the classroom. Knowing this will help you quickly get things back on track.

MODULE 4

Talking to Sensory Student 101

Get up to speed on Sensory Processing Disorder and Retained Primitive Reflexes. Understanding these two challenges will help you better understand and evaluate what students are struggling with.

MODULE 5

Sensory Breaks in the Classroom

Familiar with ‘brain breaks’? Sensory Breaks though are designed not only to give students a break, but to use specific sensory activities to get them into ‘just the right state’ of arousal, so that they can come back more focused & engaged than before, no matter their sensory challenges.

MODULE 6

Sensory Friendly Classroom Accommodations

Learn what you can add or change in your classroom for your students in order to help them learn more easily. We give you an easy-to-follow checklist to walk through your classroom with to improve calm, focus, and attention.

MODULE 7

Sensory Based Activities

Learn activities that we’ve used in the clinic for years that work great for the classroom setting. We provide a variety of activities to help your student’s varying sensory needs and learning styles to help them be successful in the classroom!

MODULE 8

Building a Sensory Friendly Classroom

This lesson will help you start to construct your classroom in a sensory friendly way! We provide product recommendations and other strategies to help students feel calm and focused when they come to class.

MODULE 9

Managing Transitions

Managing transitions can be one of the trickiest parts of getting your students to do what you need them to! Whether it’s switching between tasks or coming in from recess, we provide therapeutic strategies you can use to help students with transitions.

MODULE 10

How to Redirect Students

Sometimes a quick redirection is the easiest way to avoid a much bigger problem. We’ll teach you how and when to use proper redirections to keep the entire class focused on the task at hand!

MODULE 11

Adapting P.E. & Other Electives for Students with Sensory Challenges

Since so much of a sensory student’s needs are physical, it’s important to make sure Physical Education is accommodating to sensory students! We provide tips and ideas for seamlessly integrating sensory strategies into P.E.

MODULE 12

Sensory Tips & Tricks for the Classroom

Our last module is designed to give you a ton of quick sensory tips and tricks that you can keep top of mind in the classroom. Like all of our modules, this comes with a printable PDF to help you have easy access to this throughout your day.

BONUS 1!

Helpful Handouts for Parents

Having parents on the same page as you makes positive outcomes way more likely. That’s why we have 9 different downloadable guides that you can give to parents to help them help you! Everything from activities they can do before school, to a glossary of terms so you can speak the same “sensory language” together about their student.

BONUS 2!

Walking Through a Case Study

While getting all of these lessons and printable guides are great, sometimes seeing things in action really helps it stick. This is why we include a bonus case study to help you see these strategies in action!

BONUS 3!

Resources & References:

We want to provide you with extra resources as well as references for all of our strategies for improving your students’ focus and behavior. This will make getting buy-in from teachers, administration, and parents easier for everyone.
