This webinar is for you if...
...You have students who seem capable of a task one moment, but struggle with it the next.
...You find yourself wondering, "Why can't they do what I'm asking?"
...You want to move beyond managing behaviour and better understand what's driving it.
...You'd like a practical way to identify where students may need support before behaviour escalates.
...You're looking for an approach that helps behaviour make sense through a brain-body lens.
In this webinar, you'll discover how every task children engage in at school relies on the neurosensory (brain-body) systems, and why an individual's ability to engage depends on whether those systems can meet the requirements of each task.
You'll learn to identify which neurosensory systems are involved, recognise when they may need support, and understand why behaviour is often a sign of a neurosensory need.
You'll explore:
The neurosensory systems, what they are, and the role they play in everyday functioning.
How different tasks rely on different combinations of neurosensory systems.
Why some tasks can feel effortless one day and overwhelming the next.
How stress in one system can impact the others.
Practical examples of analysing everyday tasks through a neurosensory lens.
Practical strategies to better support engagement by responding to the underlying neurosensory needs rather than the behaviour alone.
