Episode Synopsis
Introduction:
We are all sensory beings. In this month's roundtable, Matt Barker, Erin Madonna, Lori Boll, and special guest Kira Luanganggoon discuss all things Sensory. Kira, an Occupational Therapist, answers our questions: What is Sensory Processing? What does it mean when an individual is dysregulated? How can we recognize when our students need some movement? Erin, Matt, and Lori also share their favorite sensory tricks and tools. It was a great discussion and we hope you’ll enjoy it.
