Description
A
SECRET is a framework to help children’s social and emotional wellbeing,
including their self-regulation. The framework is delivered to educators as part of a 2.5-hour presentation.
The presentation aims to help educators:
- understand how we all use sensory processing to regulate our emotions
- build awareness of the impact of sensory processing differences in children with ASD, ADHD and other developmental delays
- build capacity to include children with sensory processing differences
- understand the importance of working with parents/carers and other professionals
- understand the A SECRET framework and how to implement it in a kindergarten setting.
