Difficulty with sensory processing affects a student’s ability to successfully participate in school whether in person or through distance learning. Specifically, the performance areas of education, play, and social participation can be impacted. This course will empower the school-based therapist to effectively address sensory processing challenges through the utilization of the adapted STAR PROCESS.
Objectives:
- Articulate the difference and importance of both remedial and compensatory strategies in the schools regarding sensory processing
- Support participation in the school for children with sensory processing challenges in each of the three tiers of intervention
