Join us on Tuesday, April 9th at 12:15 pm for Empowering Parents: Practical Sensory Supports for the Home.

There may be times when your child experiences sensory overload in response to anxiety, stress, fear, excitement or other emotions. Join us for this statewide webinar as our presenter shares sensory support tips that parents can readily pair with research-based behavior strategies and incorporate into daily routines to help their child regulate emotions, manage stress, minimize disruptive behaviors, reduce sensory overload, and improve concentration.
