Looking at Children with New Eyes - The Influence of Sensory Processing on Behavior and Learning

Description

In this workshop we will learn about the “lesser known” senses of vestibular and proprioception, the interrelated components of sensory processing and the concepts of sensory modulation and sensory threshold. Time will also be spent discussing the possible meaning of specific behaviors and, more importantly, how to help the children who demonstrate these behaviors.

Our speaker is Jennifer Rosina, Ph.D., OTR/L, Founder of Kid Links Unlimited, Inc., a professor at Erikson Institute and a registered Occupational Therapist with over 30 years of experience in pediatrics.

A master clinician and a gifted teacher, Dr. Rosinia has a special interest in sensory processing and neuroscience, the role of emotions and the impact of relationships on the developing child.
