Becoming a Sensory Detective: Meeting Sensory Needs in the Classroom (Group 1: 1st - 8th July)

 

GROUP 1: Choose this for access from 1st - 8th July 2025

⭐️DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION APPROVED FOR 3 EPV DAYS ⭐️

This online course will equip teachers with practical, neuroaffirmative strategies that have been tried and tested in real classrooms. Teachers will learn how to create inclusive, sensory-friendly environments that support the diverse sensory needs of the children they work with.

In this course, you’ll gain a deeper understanding what sensory processing is and how it affects a child’s behaviour and learning, helping you improve engagement and emotional regulation. You’ll learn how to identify sensory preferences and challenges, and adapt your teaching approach with simple, effective tools like sensory breaks, flexible seating, and sensory-friendly classroom design.

This isn’t just about theory, it’s about practical, actionable strategies that you can implement right away to support sensory preferences, enhance participation, and make learning more accessible for every child. Whether you’re working with neurodivergent students or fostering a supportive, inclusive environment for all, this course offers the skills to transform your practice and improve the wellbeing of the children you work with.

With the unique combination of insights from a Senior Paediatric OT, an Occupational Therapy Assistant, and an experienced primary school teacher, this course will be your go-to resource for sensory strategies that work in real Irish primary school classrooms.

Have any questions? Email us at [email protected] and we'd be happy to help!
