Sensory Processing & Neurodivergence: A Psychoeducational Workshop for Parents — Part 1
🔹 WHO THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR
If everyday tasks feel harder than they “should,” there is often a sensory reason behind it.
This workshop is designed for:
Parents and caregivers of neurodivergent children
Educators and family members
Anyone seeking a clearer understanding of sensory processing
No prior knowledge is required.
🔹 WHAT THIS WORKSHOP COVERS
This virtual workshop is the first in a series for parents of neurodivergent children, offering foundational psychoeducation on sensory processing and its connection to mental health and daily life.
Topics include:
What sensory processing is and how it relates to neurodivergence
How sensory differences impact emotional regulation and stress
Everyday challenges such as:
Dressing and clothing tolerance
Brushing teeth and hygiene routines
Being out in the community
Academic engagement
Interactions with siblings and family
General, supportive strategies parents can begin exploring at home
How shifting from a “behavior” lens to a “sensory needs” lens can change outcomes
This workshop is neuroaffirming, practical, and compassionate—focused on understanding rather than fixing.
