A MyTime Education Session
About the event
This session introduces sensory processing and how it impacts children’s daily challenges, such as eating, grooming, movement, focus, and emotional regulation. Yvonne will explain how the brain interprets sensory input and why behaviours may occur, followed by a Q&A to address families’ specific concerns. Some questions to know if this session is for you:
Why does my child not want to have their nails trimmed?
Why does my child watch television upside down?
Why does my child keep rocking or moving?
