Why do some students shut down during circle time or bounce off the walls after recess? This session will unpack the basics of sensory regulation and how it affects student behavior, focus, and learning. Teachers will learn to recognize the signs of sensory dysregulation, understand the 8 sensory systems, and walk away with simple, effective strategies to support all learners. No special equipment or background in occupational therapy needed—just practical tools and a fresh lens for student behavior.
If you are beginning your 2nd year with NCSD, this session is for you! We will introduce the portfolio you will hand in to your evaluator by March 1, and you'll have time to get started on it during this time.
