Webinar: The Role of Sensory Processing in Self-Regulation
Self-regulation is influenced by a combination of individual and external factors including biology, skills, motivation, caregiver support, and environmental context. Sensory processing is only a piece of this complex process. These factors all interact with one another to support self-regulation and create opportunities for intervention. This workshop will provide parents and caregivers with information and resources about evidence-based strategies and interventions to support their child’s ability to regulate emotions and behaviors.
