Sensory Solutions: Understand Behaviors and Support Sensory Needs in Child Care

In this self-paced video training taught by a speech language pathologist and early intervention specialist, you’ll learn:

The 8 sensory systems (including the 3 most educators have never heard of) and how they impact behavior, learning, and participation.
What's happening beneath the behavior and how to identify if a child is seeking or avoiding sensory input.
Practical strategies you can use right away to support regulation, participation, and success throughout the day.

Inside this 61 page digital handbook you'll find:

Sensory processing checklists for all 8 sensory systems to help identify how a child processes sensory information
Alerting and calming activity charts organized by sensory system you can print and hang in your room for quick reference when kids need a break
Step-by-step sensory break ideas including a 10 station sensory pathway with posters for your wall
Cozy corner setup ideas, movement seating suggestions, and sensory bin examples you can use the next day

Sensory profile checklists and case studies so you feel confident identifying sensory needs and choosing strategies that actually help.

Ready-to-use visuals for sensory breaks and movement opportunities you can add to routines you're already doing every day.

Go beyond generic behavior strategies with tools that help you understand all 8 sensory system and meet each child's unique needs.

This training focuses primarily on preschoolers, though the sensory concepts and strategies can be adapted for older toddlers (3 year olds).

The strategies are designed for child care centers, preschool classrooms, pre-k programs, Head Start programs, and family - home child care settings.
