🌟 Sensory Processing Skills Webinar
(for parents and educators of children age 5-15)
with Sarah Bianco – Senior OT & Sensory Integration Practitioner

📅 21 February• ⏰ 10:00–12:00 • 💶 €25

Does your child struggle with toothbrushing, clothing, sitting still, or noisy spaces? These behaviours may be sensory needs, not defiance.
Join us to learn:
✨ What sensory processing is (the brain’s “filter system”)
✨ How sensory needs shape behaviour at home and in school
✨ Simple strategies that make daily routines calmer and easier
✨ Why small adjustments, like movement breaks or softer clothing, can create big change

Real stories show the impact:
✔️ Liam’s morning meltdowns disappeared with tag-free clothes
✔️ Sofia stays focused at circle time with a wiggle cushion and movement break
Perfect for parents and educators who want to support children with confidence and understanding.
