Making Sense of Meltdowns with Jessica Sinarski

Dealing with frequent and intense meltdowns in preschool and school-aged children can be exhausting! Sometimes they are due to sensory processing challenges. The human brain processes 11 million bits of information every second, which comes in through our eight (not five) senses. Neurodivergence and trauma can bias the brain toward quick, defensive reactions to all that sensory input. This often leads to frustrating behaviors and learning disruptions. This workshop will provide some eye-opening sensory basics in a child-friendly format along with practical takeaways that can be integrated into your busy day.

Participants will be able to

1. Identify the eight sensory systems in simple language.

2. Discuss the impact of neurodivergence and trauma on sensory processing.

3. Develop action steps to create a more sensory-friendly (and meltdown-reducing) environment.
