THE CENTER OF SENSORY INTEGRATION EXCELLENCE PRESENTS THE
COMMUNITY LEARNING SERIES
The CoSIE Community Learning Series is a free educational workshop program designed to increase awareness and understanding of sensory integration and sensory-based intervention among parents, caregivers, teachers, administrators, professionals, staff, and community members.
Led by experts in sensory processing and sensory integration, the series provides accessible information on how sensory processing impacts development, learning, behavior, regulation, participation, and everyday routines.
Through these workshops, participants will gain practical knowledge, meaningful strategies, and supportive tools to better recognize and respond to the sensory needs, preferences, and challenges of children in homes, schools, clinics, and community spaces.
Rooted in CoSIE’s commitment to connection, education, and collaboration, the Community Learning Series helps build confidence, shared understanding, and stronger support for children and individuals with sensory integration differences.
Understanding Self Regulation:
A Sensory Approach to Behavioral and Emotional Regulation
Wednesday, May 27th, 6:30-7:30 PM
No events at the moment
With Dr. Erna Imperatore Blanche, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA
Why do some children have big emotional reactions, struggle to stay calm and focused, or seem unable to “just regulate”? Self-regulation is deeply rooted in how the nervous system processes sensory information. When sensory systems are not working together effectively, it can impact a child’s emotional responses, behavior, attention, and overall ability to engage in daily life.
This informative and engaging session will explore self-regulation through a sensory lens. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how sensory processing influences emotional and behavioral regulation across home, school, and community settings. We will examine the connection between the body and behavior, identify common signs of dysregulation, and discuss practical, sensory-based strategies to support children in becoming more regulated, engaged, and successful in their everyday experiences.
This presentation is designed for parents, teachers, and professionals who want to better understand children’s sensory needs and learn practical ways to support their development and participation.
