Supporting Self-Regulation & Sensory Needs in the Classroom

Recorded September 3, 2025 (11:30 AM MT).

In this Lunch & Learn, pediatric occupational therapist Jennifer Collett (Sensory Integration & Child Development Specialist) shares practical, budget-friendly ways to support children’s self-regulation and sensory needs—without overhauling your whole program.

Hosted by Krystal Churcher, this session covers how lighting, noise, and seating affect regulation; simple tools like calm corners, movement breaks, and sensory bins; when to refer; and how to coach staff to respond through a sensory lens (not just discipline). A short Q&A at the end tackles real-world scenarios from operators and educators.
