JUST RIGHT! Setting the Foundation for Social and Emotional Learning through Sensory Modulation and More
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is essential to human development and helps create a positive learning environment for all students. Many school districts are establishing systemic, schoolwide approaches to SEL. This course will review how to address SEL with students that have central nervous system disorders and sensory modulation issues through the 3 tiers of Response to Intervention.
Sensory modulation is seen as a component of emotional regulation and social-emotional learning and it is critical for academic and social success. Research shows that sensory modulation is a skill that can be taught. This course will review the evidence supporting instruction in sensory modulation and basic concepts and terminology to be used in this instruction. Participants will practice and learn how to use the lessons from Just Right! A Sensory Modulation Curriculum for K-5 with hands-on activities and video demonstrations.
You will receive a free digital version of the curriculum and will reference it throughout the course. Please make sure to have the LIST of supplies available in order to participate in the HANDS-ON activities!

NEW: OT’s Role in Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
As a telehealth therapist, how many times have you said, “My students are a no-show” or “I can’t get them to pay attention!” When your students are highly engaged, they look forward to your sessions and stay engaged the entire time!

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is essential to human development, and helps create a positive learning environment for all students.

This 2 hour webinar will provide you with specific strategies to address SEL.
Push-in to the classroom is an evidenced-based and effective treatment strategy for OTs, PTs, and SLPs. Because of multiple barriers, therapists are often more comfortable providing pull-out therapy sessions. In this 2-hour course, the speaker includes research review, push-in and distance-learning strategies, and a discussion of the benefits of carryover and collaboration strategies.
Collaboration is essential in providing occupational therapy services in school systems. Although pull-out sessions can be effective, pushing into the classroom and collaboration is the new norm. A huge barrier to push-in sessions is TIME! This course reviews how to determine dosage/frequencies, strategies for using your time efficiently, research, and case studies that support increased collaboration in school systems.
Every year, students exhibit increased challenges! The addition of school-wide movement initiatives, such as motor labs and sensory paths, can promote skills needed for learning.
