THE IN-SYNC CHILD, VOLUME I (Four Parts): FUNDAMENTALS
Webinar #1: Introduction to the In-Sync Child approach
Objectives:
1) Review how children develop in the same sequence but not at the same rate.
2) Learn basic terms about the foundation blocks of early childhood growth:
A) Sensory processing
B) Perceptual-motor development
C) Vision development
3) Learn how gaps in basic skills may compromise a child’s full development.
4) Learn that fun and functional movement experiences are critical for developing and enhancing the whole child.
Course Description:
When you are In Sync, your movements are efficient and fluid.You feel comfortable in your body, and when you are comfortable in your body, you feel good.When you feel good, you function better.Everything works.Learn how sensory, perceptual motor, and vision development work together to help children get In Sync.
Webinar #2: Understanding Sensory Processing
Objectives:
1) Learn about our eight senses.
2) Learn how the developing child processes ordinary sensations by:
A) Modulating sensations, especially for self-protection
B) Discriminating sensations, especially for learning
C) Developing sensory-motor skills for participating in daily life
3) Gain understanding about sensory processing challenges.
4) Learn tips about supporting ALL children through enjoyable sensory experiences, particularly those involving touch and movement.
Course Description:
Sensory processing is the way the nervous system receives and organizes ordinary sensory messages and then manages the information to elicit appropriate responses in daily life. About 16% of children struggle with sensory processing challenges that may interfere with their full participation in the occupation of childhood. This course offers strategies for educators to use in the classroom and on the playground to develop and enhance all their students’ sensory processing.
Webinar #3: Understanding Perceptual-Motor Development
Objectives:
- Learn how good perceptual motor development influences all future learning, in and out of the classroom.
- Learn about the developmental pyramid.
- Understand the profound importance of creeping on hands and knees.
- Gain in-depth knowledge of eight of the most important perceptual motor skills, including midline crossing, laterality and body awareness, and how they impact your students’ learning.
- Discover tips on how to set up your classroom and other easy ways to develop and enhance your students’ perceptual motor development.
- Learn how to identify potential delays in the various areas of perceptual motor development of your students.
Course description:
Children from birth to age six are developing the foundation for who they will become for the rest of their lives. While we can teach them information, we cannot teach skills that they learn only by moving. This course will explain the various areas of perpetual motor development and how each area affects the child’s overall growth. Use this information to design activities and programs that develop and enhance your students’ perceptual motor development.
Webinar #4: Understanding Vision
Objectives:
- Learn about the development of vision and its enormously important impact on the developing child.
- Learn to recognize commonly overlooked problems and how to improve your students’ vision.
- Explore the differences between vision and sight.
- Looking at examples, discover first-hand the complexities and subtleties of our visual systems.
- Discover how to set up your classroom and other easy ways to develop and enhance your students’ vision development.
Course description:
In this lively and accessible presentation, discover the profound importance of vision, a frequently under-recognized area of development. A well- functioning visual system is fundamental to a child’s success in and out of the classroom. Learn about four of the most critical areas of vision and how they affect all of us. Through optical illusions presented in this course, you will have the opportunity to play with your own vision.

(2016) Coping with SPD in Adolescents and Adults
/in Interviews, Webinar /by Carol KranowitzWebinar, aired May 25, on ADDitudemag.com
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) manifests in many small, sometimes maddening ways. Itchy tags may be unbearable. Loud music intolerable. Perfume simply sickening. Whatever the specific symptoms, SPD makes it difficult to interact with your daily environment. This impacts how you relate to others, study and learn, participate in sports and group activities, and follow your dreams. It is a unique and challenging neurological condition associated with inefficient processing of sensory information, and it deserves close study and serious support.
This webinar will discuss SPD in adolescents and adults, and will contain information helpful to parents, teachers, therapists, and other family members.
