Thrive Sensory Event : Balancing Our Trays

THRIVE Child Development Centre helps children and youth with diverse abilities to achieve their highest potential. One of twenty-one children’s treatment centres across
Ontario, we support children & youth from 0-18 years of age who are impacted by
differences in physical, perceptual, communication and/or developmental trajectories.
We build on their unique strengths, gifts and talents so that they and their families can
truly THRIVE!

The title of this presentation is Balancing our Trays: How to promote balance and harmony through a lens of self-regulation and sensory processing. This presentation was created to enhance general understanding about self-regulation
and sensory processing and how they can impact a child’s performance and
interactions throughout their day.
