Sensory health and wellness is not just a concept to be applied in the space of our homes - it is for the whole community environment, including and especially in our school settings. This multi-day interactive summit provides insights into the impacts and need for active awareness and implementation of sensory health in our schools. Presenters and expert panelists will delve into the importance of sensory health and how to better support sensory health for students with and without known sensory differences. Clinicians, educators, and advocates share the most up-to-date knowledge on strategies, cutting-edge research findings, and first person experiences all focused on supporting sensory differences and improving overall success, health, and wellness in our schools.
Participants will have access to our 3-day agenda consisting of 9 hours of pre-recorded presentations, interactive workshops, LIVE Q&A with speakers, and an expert panel. Receive 45-day access to recordings, handouts, BONUS presentations, and swag bag.
