30. Back-to-School through A Sensory Emotional Lens (Part 1)
Getting to know a new school, a new teacher, new routines, and expectations that are different from last year can be really overwhelming for some. We recognize that we all process sensory information differently and choose different ways of being according to our capacities to process information from the world and our bodies. In school, these ways of being can significantly impact performance and participation in school-based activities.
Join Michele and special guest Amanda Newchok for this special episode of A Sensory Emotional Lens where they share valuable insights and strategies to help ease these transitions. In this episode, Michele and Amanda discuss how to support children who present as anxious, deeply feeling, unaware, inattentive, and deep thinking. Strategies are presented to support sensory over-responsivity (hypersensitivity) and sensory under-responsivity (hyposensitivity).
In this episode you’ll discover:
How to know if the way a child is acting and interacting in the classroom is related to sensory motor differences
Common challenges in the classroom for children who are anxious, deeply feeling or/and hypersensitive or over responsive to sensations
Common challenges in the classroom for children who are unaware, inattentive or/and hyposensitive or under responsive to sensations
Ways to set your child up for success by communicating to our child’s teacher using the language and idea that “My child is successful when…”
Sensory emotional strategies for the classroom for children who are anxious, deeply feeling, unaware, inattentive and deep thinking presenting in their own world.
