This course provides an overview of the external and internal sensory systems along with observable characteristics of sensory dysregulation. Understanding that sensory input drives motor and behavioral output provides the foundation for this course. The way young children take in, process, and respond to sensory information significantly affects the way they learn, develop, and behave. While occupational therapists are the professionals who specialize in sensory integration therapy, this course is designed for all educators, therapists, and administrators to better understand how to provide a learning environment to support children with sensory processing differences.
