Webinars

Understanding the sensory and motor development of young children is vital to support their participation and success. Challenges in these areas may exacerbate many social, behavioral, and learning difficulties during early childhood and into school years. This webinar will highlight sensory and motor assessments and key strategies available to professionals across settings, including special educators, speech language pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, and school psychologists.

After this session, participants will be able to:

1. Discuss early childhood motor and sensory milestones for children ages birth to five years.
2. Describe three diagnostic groups at higher risk of sensory and/or motor difficulties.
3. Identify three assessment tools available for the identification of sensory and/or motor needs appropriate for children ages birth to five years.
4. List three strategies which can be employed in an early childhood setting to support the sensory and/or motor needs of young children.
   

To learn the skills and concepts presented in the classroom, children must pay attention, register and assign meaning to information they see and hear, and store information in memory. The transition from infancy to early childhood is associated with increased proficiency in tasks requiring attention, working memory, and cognitive flexibility, all of which help to predict rate of learning. This one-hour webinar will describe cognitive development in young children. The presenter will use sample data to discuss and show the relationship between cognitive abilities and learning.

This session examines how to use progress monitoring to collect data to improve student social-emotional and behavioural outcomes. Specifically, we will discuss how this process can be individualized to examine individual student improvement in alignment with the IEPs of students identified as Special Ed, those with behavioural plans, or students supported within an MTSS framework. The session will also discuss how this information can be used to evaluate the efficacy of supports and interventions and to guide adjustments to treatment or interventions.
