FREE WEBINAR | Sensory Regulation in the Classroom
I’ll help you to better understand your neurodivergent learners’ sensory needs and how to meet them with small changes to your everyday classroom practice. With your new understanding, you’ll feel more able to recognise and respond to your students' sensory needs before they reach a state of hyper or hypo arousal (meltdown or shutdown) as well as having a range of ideas and strategies to make your classroom and approach more inclusive for every learner. Book here to attend or receive the recording.
