In this introductory workshop of understanding how our senses are communicating needs through behaviour is broken down into the different senses.
Educators will learn what sensory processing is, go deep into the 8 sensory systems and see the connections between behaviours and self-regulation. They’ll clearly understand the myths around sensory play and how integral it is to all children's development. Along with many practical and inexpensive ideas to support all children as I walk you through our sensory journey and the sensory accommodations made in the learning environment.

Veronica's insight and innovative ideas regarding supports for children with sensory needs gave me so much new perspective and inspiration to bring back to my own classroom and teaching practice. Veronica’s passion for early learning radiates and I find I’m often referencing resources and ideas she’s shared with me each day in my own work.
Veronica is so easy to listen to and shares her information in such a way that it just draws you in and gets you excited to learn more by using props, videos, real life scenarios, etc. She is very knowledgeable and better yet passionate about her work, and it shows! If you ever get the chance to learn from her, don’t miss the opportunity- you won’t regret it!”

Which is why it's my mission to support Educators by building their knowledge on child development all while discovering their sense of wonder & curiosity again.
To ultimately make an impact in the lives of children, &...
