What is the talk about?
All the information we receive about the world comes through our senses.
In some people, the senses do not process information as they should and the brain ends up like a “traffic jam” of information instead of a steady flow of traffic. Learning occurs when we receive accurate sensory information, process it in our brain and use it to organize our behaviours and activities at home and school.
Corinna Laurie, specialist occupational therapist, explores:
• Our senses, and how they can affect behaviour
• Strategies to reduce the impact of sensory issues
• Strategies to support children to develop their motor skills
