Course Description

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a complicated and challenging problem for many students in the classroom. This issue is often associated with Autism; however, this issue affects many children who have disabilities, but who are also neurotypical.

The impact of SPD can be diminished with evidence-based and practical strategies, which provide students with a safe learning environment (SLE) and less interruption to their learning.

This course will give you the knowledge about how challenging SPD is for many of your students and how to make a significant difference by making changes to your classroom management and routine.
