Sensory processing support for libraries • Evening
Tuesday 20 February @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
The library environment can affect behaviour and social interactions for children with sensory processing challenges. For example, a child who is oversensitive may avoid busy, bright or noisy places. A child who is under sensitive may enjoy lots of movement or hug others.
This workshop helps library staff understand a child’s sensory needs and explore strategies that can help with sensory regulation during library programs and activities.
There is a daytime and evening session (plus a follow-up session for each) for library staff to choose to participate either at work or at home.
Learn about:
- The characteristics of sensory seekers and sensory avoiders
- Identifying challenging behaviours due to sensory needs
- Creating a sensory sensitive environment
- Strategies for transitioning and regulating children during activities
