What you’ll learn

Workshop 1: How to Calm with Quick Movements Your Kid Can Do Anywhere!

Emotional regulation is a learnable executive-function skill that continues developing into the mid-20s, offering hope for parents and carers of neurodivergent children who experience frequent overwhelm.
Build a small toolbox of movement-based strategies, such as arm-cross tapping, cross-crawls, short movement circuits, rhythm or dance, and diaphragmatic breathing, to use both preventively and during difficult moments.
Practise the tools outside crises, model them playfully, introduce one simple technique at a time, and adapt it to the child’s age and situation—supporting regulation for both children and carers.

Workshop 2: Build EF Skills with This Do-Able Sensory Strategy

How sensory processing—including vestibular, proprioceptive and interoceptive systems—affects everyday activities, executive function and emotional regulation.
How under- or over-filtering sensory input can influence attention, behaviour, learning and eating, from typical picky-eating phases to possible ARFID.
How graded, play-based, movement and OT-informed strategies can support neuroplasticity, improve participation and quality of life, and address challenges related to school resources and parental stigma.
