Making Sense of the Sensory World

Workshops for Parents, Carers & Educators

About the Workshops

Presented by AHPRA registered Occupational Therapists with Avanti Therapy Services, these workshops are designed to support parents, carers and educators in understanding the sensory world of children. 

Our workshops are tailored to the specific audience, whether that be parents, carers, educators, support workers or community groups. The workshop content, examples and strategies are all tailored and adapted to ensure they are relevant, practical and meaningful for your role and setting.

The workshops will develop a deeper understanding of how children experience their environment and how sensory processing influences behaviour, emotions and learning. These workshops are practical, neuro-affirming and focused on real strategies that can be used in everyday life.

What you’ll learn & why it matters

  • Understand sensory processing and the nervous system
    Learn how children take in and respond to sensory information, so behaviours start to make sense, not feel confusing or unpredictable.
  • Recognise sensory differences in children
    Identify whether a child may be sensory sensitive, sensory seeking or a mix. Helping you respond more effectively in the moment.
  • Link sensory processing to behaviour, emotions and attention
    Understand the “why” behind behaviours, reducing frustration and supporting more compassionate, informed responses.
  • Practical strategies you can use immediately
    Walk away with simple, realistic tools that can be implemented at home, in the classroom or in your work setting straight away.
  • Support emotional regulation and co-regulation
    Learn how to help children feel calm, safe and organised, especially during challenging moments.
  • Adapt environments to support success
    Make small changes to routines and environments that can have a big impact on participation and engagement.
  • Build confidence in supporting children
    Feel more equipped, capable and reassured in your approach, knowing what to do and why it works.
  • Create more positive everyday experiences
    Support smoother routines, better participation and more enjoyable interactions for both you and the child.
