Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Hanover Parent Advisory Council presents:
Sensory Integration Difficulties and the Impact on Behavior and
Participation
Information for Parents and Staff to help recognize and cope with sensory
processing disorder
Tuesday, February 2nd (Snow Date – Feb. 9th)
7 p.m. – 9 p.m.
Meeting Location: Hanover Middle School (Library), Whiting Street
Description: This overview will help teachers and parents better understand
their child’s unique response to the sensory inputs from the world around
them. Some children are more sensitive to daily events in life such as
sounds they hear, the textures and smells of foods, or the feeling of having
their face washed. These sensitivities can impact the child’s ability to
successfully participate in daily life tasks and can have a strong impact on
school and family life. Strategies for helping a child become more
successful in participating in sensory events will be discussed within this
interactive session.
Presented by: Stacey E. Szklut MS, OTR/L. Stacey is the owner of South
Shore Therapies, a clinic specializing in intervention for individuals with
sensory, motor and feeding difficulties. She is nationally recognized for
her knowledge of sensory integration and has developed and presented a wide
variety of workshops on assessment, intervention, and combining therapeutic
techniques. Stacey’s extensive clinical and teaching experience provides the
foundation for her belief in an eclectic approach to intervention, focusing
on developing functional abilities for independence. She incorporates these
ideas into her teaching style which highlights active learning and
developing a wide range of practical and useable suggestions for
intervention.
