Discipline Matters Workshop in MassachusettsWebinar, September 13, 2021, with a family support center based in Newton, MA. As parents and caregivers of children with special needs, we can often find ourselves confused between what is a sensory response and what is behavior.
* What makes this so complex is that each child is an individual, with their own unique ways of responding to sensory stimuli and social interactions, especially when out in varied settings in their community or with family.
* Children may also present differently from minute to minute or day to day, depending on sleep, hunger, and fluctuations in mood. Although this is often a complex question, and one without a straightforward answer, there are some tools of the trade that OTs use to help us determine just what is going on with these children. OTs are also trained to look closely for patterns that may help to guide us in finding the answers, and participants in this webinar will have the chance to learn some of the tips, tools, and tricks that are helpful for distinguishing and supporting sensory responses.
* Presented by: Julie Robinson, OT, Director of Clinical Services; Occupational Therapist
