An introduction to our 8 sensory systems (that’s right, 8!) and how they impact the developing child. We will discuss each system, how it affects motor development and self-regulation and what you may be seeing at home if your child is under-or over-responsive to a sensory stimulus. Most important, we will cover how you can help in the home environment. Our aim is that you leave feeling more confident about the special role you play in your child’s development and sensory experiences. $50 per person $75 per couple.

This presentation is for parents who have concerns about what and how their child eats. Occupational therapist Stephanie will provide information to help figure out why a child may be having difficulty with healthy and enjoyable meal times. They will discuss the difference between regular picky eating associated with childhood and problem eating and will summarize some of the main reasons that a child will limit their diet or have difficulty eating a variety of foods, as well as some of the possible games and activities that can help. Tricks for introducing new foods and textures, efficiently using utensils, as well as for making meal time fun, family time again will also be discussed.
