Saturday, July 12, 2025 | 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM | The Red Oak Centre
Gain practical insight into the role of sensory systems in self-regulation and learning
Facilitated by Andrea Tsang and Tamar Chemel
Join us for a dynamic, full-day professional development workshop designed for pediatric occupational therapists who want to expand their expertise in sensory processing and self-regulation. This training will enhance your ability to support children navigating sensory, behaviour and emotional challenges in their everyday activities.
We will provide theory and hands-on learning, and participants will explore how sensory differences impact emotional regulation, executive function, behaviour, and participation across settings - from school to home to therapy.
For Occupational Therapists who want to take their clinical practice to the next level. OT students are also welcome to attend!
What You’ll Learn:
✔ A practical framework for understanding sensory processing in clinical contexts
✔ The role of self-regulation in behavioural and emotional development
✔ Evidence-informed approaches
✔ Strategies for teaching and supporting regulation skills in pediatric mental health settings and considerations within interdisciplinary practices
✔ Hands-on training with sensory gym equipment (e.g., suspended swings, therapy balls, weighted items)
