“I have to go outside?” Sensory Processing
In a Post-COVID World

Friday September 10th, 2021

Virtual Event

As we start to emerge from our COVID cocoons, our families are facing a new set of challenges related to sensory processing and regulation. Many children are getting exposed to a much more sensory enriched world than they have experienced in the last year and a half; may be facing new sensory challenges related to masking and social distancing; and may be adjusting to new schedules and routines, increased structure, and increased demands for social interaction, and sensory, behavioral, and emotional regulation.
This presentation will apply a sensory processing lens to our “return to normal,” examine the difficulties children and families may face, and discuss strategies for preparing and supporting children and families.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will understand the impact of factors related to COVID on sensory processing, self-regulation, and behavior.
2. Participants will be able to identify situations related to the return to in-person experiences that might present sensory-related challenges for children and families.
3. Participants will be able to identify strategies to prepare and support children and families for experiences presenting sensory and regulatory challenges.
Stacy Frauwirth is the Director of Child Development Services at Through the Looking Glass in Berkeley, CA. Stacy is a licensed occupational therapist with more than 25 years of pediatric clinical, teaching, and supervisory experience.
