Course Information
Every day we use our senses to learn from each other and our environment. Our senses not only help us understand the world around us; they actually help shape our behavior. But what happens when our senses mislead us?
The purpose of this online course is to explore how sensory processing, sensory integration, and sensory processing disorders can affect a young child's development.
During the course, participants will learn about specific strategies that can be used to help children with sensory integration issues reach their full developmental potential.
This training course was developed and produced by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service of the Texas A&M University System in cooperation with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Child Care Licensing Division, and using funds provided by the Texas Workforce Commission.
