Sensory, Behavior or Both? - Presented by Kate Haddock
Do you ever wonder why some children seem to be driven by a motor while others can sit quietly and listen to your every word? Why do some children crash into furniture in the classroom while others tiptoe around it? Each child processes sensory stimulation differently. Some may crave touch while others avoid it. Some may not register auditory stimulation until it is as loud as can be while others cover their ears at the slightest whisper. Managing these behaviors in the classroom can be difficult. It is often hard to determine if behaviors are sensory processing difficulties or outright behavior difficulties. This session will look at some of these behaviors, examine what sensory processing issues many be contributing to them, and generate possible solutions to address them.

A Guide to Language Fundamentals: Reframe What You Know About Language Development - presented by Gilda Panales
We use language on a daily basis to aid survival and to improve our overall quality of life. What happens when language acquisition doesn't go as planned? How does reaching milestones change in the face of a pandemic? This lecture will explore a discussion of the 2022 update on developmental milestones, how Covid has impacted the development of children (specifically those under the age of 5), and what activities can be included in the classroom to help Covid kiddos to catch up.
