Understanding Students Behaviour from a Sensory Processing Perspective

Allan Hutchison, Educational Psychologist, from the Catholic Education Office in Ballarat is going to present different scenarios to help us understand and cope with difficult students.
Time 4.30pm - 6.30pm on the 24th March, 2011 

Comment(AH): Allan Hutchison provided an informative insight into the implications of students' sensory profiles. Alan helped us to understand how a dysfunction in sensory processing in a student could lead us to mistake their behaviour for 'bad behaviour'. The PD helped me to critically assess the ways that I react to students' behaviour in the classroom, and improve my response to help equip students to deal with their sensory dysfunction in a constructive and socially acceptable way.
