This presentation will demystify sensory processing difficulties in children, teens, and adults with diagnoses including sensory processing disorder, autism, developmental disabilities, mental illness and other conditions. It will help attendees use sensory solutions including sensory diets and multisensory environments (MSEs) and to help people reach and maintain the optimal state of
arousal in order to feel and function at their best.
Topics will include:
• Understanding the relationship between sensory challenges and behavioral issues
• Ways to avoid overstimulation and deal with self-stimulatory behaviors and meltdowns
• Techniques for decreasing sensitivity to noise, touch, movement, visuals, taste and smell in daily life settings
• Hands-on learning about multisensory environments and tools
• Ideas for incorporating MSEs in settings such as homes, clinics, schools, hospitals
Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this course participants will be able to:
1. Define sensory processing challenges in children, teens, and adults;

Ø UPDATE on this Lindsey Biel Workshop!!! I am delighted to tell you that Chloe Rothschild, an autism advocate will be speaking for roughly 20 minutes during Lindsey’s presentation. Chloe is a very articulate person who has a lot to say about sensory issues and meltdowns. Lindsey had the honor of being the first person to present with Chloe at the YAI Conference two years ago and people are still talking about it! (Lindsey has presented for YAI annually for 11 years). We can guarantee you’ll LOVE meeting her and learning directly from her perspective.
