DSC There's a Lizard in my Chocolate

"Research shows that up to 70% of students in any given classroom are affected by sensory problems although only 13%-16% are identified. These issues often cause students to avoid or appear fearful of certain activities, appear clumsy, uncoordinated or even destructive. They may also demonstrate poor organizational skills, delayed fine/grow/oral motor skill development and daily life skills. These students are often resistant to change and transitions and are viewed as socially inept and have great difficulty responding appropriately to peers and challenges. Unfortunately, students with sensory integration problems are viewed as immature, spoiled, or hyperactive when it is a sensory regulation problem which can be addressed through interventions, techniques, and modifications. There’s a Lizard in my Chocolate will share activities that can be easily incorporated into the daily routine that will help organize the child’s sensory system and create calming effects for children. More and more children are being diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, Anxiety Disorder, Emotional Disturbance, ODD, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and other disabilities which often include characteristics of sensory defensiveness. Participants will explore strategies that can be applied to all students to increase communication and learning while reducing frustration and fear. This session will provide many hands-on activities; take home ideas and Q & A discussions providing all attendees with tools needed to assist with challenging behaviors. Learner Objectives: *Determine the causes of increased anxiety and behavioral problems in students *Discuss the key features of sensory integration and how it can disrupt a student’s overall well being *Explain the available tools on self-regulation and to decrease anxiety *Implement creative solutions on how to apply Sensory *Integration techniques to enhance student learning and participation in daily activities&nb
