About This Training
When a child struggles to regulate, their behavior is communicating something. Most of the time it has everything to do with their sensory system.
This beginner-level training bridges occupational therapy and mental health — helping clinicians understand how sensory processing differences affect a child's regulation, behavior, emotional expression, and participation in everyday life.
You will walk away with a sensory-informed lens you can start using in session immediately.
What You Will Learn
In This Training
How children receive, organize, and respond to sensory information from their bodies and environments — including vestibular, proprioceptive, and interoceptive processing
How sensory processing differences affect regulation, behavior, emotional expression, and relationships — and how these show up in your clinical sessions
Patterns of sensory processing including modulation, discrimination, sensory-motor differences, and thresholds
Practical sensory-informed strategies including co-regulation, environmental adaptations, and trauma-informed considerations you can apply immediately
Real-world case examples and clinical applications to bring these concepts directly into your work with children and families
Sound Familiar?
This Is for You If...
01
You are a therapist, counselor, or social worker who works with children and families
02
You have clients whose behavior you suspect has a sensory component but you are not sure how to assess or address it
03
You want to bring an occupational therapy lens into your work without having to go back to school for another degree
04
You want CEUs that genuinely expand how you think about and work with the children in your care
So many of the children our clinicians work with have a sensory story underneath their behavior. I am so glad to be bringing Lindsay's expertise into this space.
