Sensory processing shapes how a child experiences everything around them, from the hum of the air conditioner to the texture of the paint on their hands. For some children, this everyday sensory information is easy to filter and make sense of. For others, it's overwhelming, confusing, or hard to notice at all, and this can show up in the classroom as behaviour that's easy to misread.
In this engaging and highly practical course, Dr Kaylene Henderson unpacks what "sensory processing" actually means, and how sensory processing difficulties tend to present in early learning centres and primary school settings. You'll come away with a clearer lens for noticing what might be going on for a child, and a set of practical strategies you can use to help children stay regulated and engaged in their learning.
Across 4 video-based modules, you'll explore these ideas in depth, alongside additional resources and real case study discussions, so you finish the course with genuine confidence to put your new knowledge into practice.

Understanding sensory processing changes the way you see the children in your care, and the way you feel about your own day-to-day practice.
Sensory overwhelm is often mistaken for defiance or a lack of focus. With this knowledge, you'll notice what's really going on sooner.
Walk away with strategies you can use straight away, from setting up a retreat space to planning for tricky times of day.
Feel confident recognising sensory processing challenges, rather than wondering what's behind a child's behaviour.
Learn how to bring families into the conversation, so children are supported consistently, at home and in your setting.
When sensory needs are met, learning becomes possible. You'll see the difference in the children you work with.
Self-paced, video-based modules you can move through in your own time, and revisit whenever you need a refresher.
4 video-based modules, presented by Dr Kaylene Henderson, with a printable handout and case study discussion for each.
