Autism Learns: Understanding Sensory Processing & Autism
January 27, 2023 - January 28, 2023
An online learning series: 27th & 28th January 2023
Brought to you by the organisers of The Autism Show, we provide trusted and affordable online learning to parents, family carers and professionals who support children and adults on the autism spectrum.
This online learning series will explore the sensory differences experienced by autistic children and adults. We’ll provide you with an in-depth understanding of sensory processing disorder and offer practical strategies to help you effectively support an autistic person at home and in the classroom.
Our team of leading autism professionals, including the world-renowned psychologist Dr Wenn Lawson, will examine how differences in processing sensory information can adversely affect the ability to learn in school, function in the workplace, form friendships and interact within a family.
Learnings include:
- Understanding sensory modulation, sensory discrimination and sensory-based motor disorders
- How does sensory processing disorder impact development and learning?
- Understanding the link between sensory difficulties and distressed behaviour
- What is the evidence base for treatments for sensory processing disorder?
- How sensory dysphoria can impact on communication
- Why interoception is crucial to self-regulation and understanding mental health and anxiety
- How to create sensory rooms or spaces for different age groups and needs
- Finding the causes of food refusal and eating difficulties
