About this course
Sometimes a child's behaviour in school can be confusing — for teachers, classroom assistants, and principals alike. This webinar looks at sensory needs and helps school staff understand what might be driving what they're seeing, so they can respond in ways that genuinely help.
The session covers neuroaffirming strategies, environmental adaptations, movement breaks, and brain breaks — practical approaches that staff can start using straight away to support children's learning and participation.
Along with the webinar, you'll get a downloadable copy of the PowerPoint, a 13-page movement breaks and brain breaks PDF, and a sensory smart classroom checklist — resources staff can keep coming back to.
