Description

Join Sue for an upcoming Live Virtual Workshop where you will learn from Sue practical tips & strategies to make a difference.

In this episode, we will discuss:

✅ Individual Needs: Every child requires different sensory tools and breaks.
✅ Teaching When Calm: Practice break routines before children become overwhelmed.
✅ Energy Levels: Some children need movement, not quiet spaces.
✅ Sensory Tools: Include fidgets, weighted items, breathing activities, textures.
✅ Glasses Analogy: Find the right sensory fit for each student.
✅ Return Strategy: Teach children how to transition back from breaks.
✅ Nonverbal Access: Use tokens or cards so kids don't ask.
