Preventing Sensory Overload & Overstimulation in your Centre

Have you experienced children with challenging behaviours? What does the environment say when this occurs? Providing children with a safe and inclusive environment can eliminate negative behaviours and allow children to feel a sense of belonging. Providing children with age and developmentally appropriate child care environments allows children to flourish and thrive. Through this workshop, we will discuss what sensory overstimulation looks like within the child care and how the impacts it has on both children and Educators. We will focus on key concepts that participants can apply to their daily practice in the centre.

Suitable for child care providers, child care workforce, and parents.
