Topics and lengths of workshops and presentations are individualized for your group or audience. Take a look at some we’ve offered recently—

Sensory Processing in the Classroom

In this interactive presentation, you will learn about sensory processing and its impact on children in the classroom setting. You will gain strategies to support your students who may be struggling with sensory processing challenges, and learn when it makes sense to refer for further assessment by an occupational therapist.

Occupational Therapy, Over-Excitabilities, and Sensory Processing Disorders

A much-needed discussion to help demystify Over-excitabilities, Occupational Therapy, and Sensory Processing Disorders! If you have an asynchronous gifted or twice-exceptional child you may have been referred to an occupational therapist. But what is occupational therapy, and what role can it play in your gifted child’s life? In this session, we will discuss:

• Over-excitabilities and how they relate to Occupational Therapy

• When Over-excitabilities are actually Sensory Processing Disorders

• How Occupational Therapy can support your gifted child’s development and does it matter if your OT “gets” giftedness

• What you can do to support your child’s sensory needs at home

Gifted 101: For parents, teachers, and professionals

We describe giftedness and asynchrony and bust common myths associated with gifted children. We will explain overexcitabilities and characteristics of giftedness and how these impact behavior and the potential for misdiagnoses. We will review the testing methods for giftedness. By the time you leave, you will better understand gifted children in their classroom, home, and community, and will receive resources to support the needs of gifted children.
