🧠 GT Credit Sessions Available (sessions that are orange = GT)
This professional development session is designed for special education teachers and focuses on integrating sensory strategies into the classroom to support student engagement, self-regulation, and learning. Presented from an occupational therapy perspective, participants will explore how sensory processing impacts attention, behavior, and participation in academic tasks. The session will provide practical, research-based strategies and tools that can be implemented directly in the classroom, including movement breaks, tactile activities, adaptive seating, and visual or auditory supports. Teachers will gain hands-on experience in creating sensory-friendly environments, recognizing student sensory needs, and applying individualized supports to help all learners thrive. By the end of the session, participants will leave with actionable strategies to promote focus, regulation, and success for students with diverse sensory needs in the classroom.
