Understand sensory processing differences and learn how to support children’s regulation and wellbeing in Early Years classrooms.
This module is designed for teachers, teaching assistants, early years practitioners, and support staff who work with children experiencing Sensory Processing Differences (SPD) in nursery and school settings. Aligned with ADEK, SPEA, the Ministry of Education (MoE), and KHDA standards, the module supports inclusive practice across UAE Early Years environments.
The module explores how children respond to sensory input such as sound, movement, touch, and visual stimuli, and how these responses can influence behaviour, learning, and emotional regulation.
Teachers will gain insight into common sensory sensitivities and sensory-seeking behaviours seen in young children. Learners will explore practical sensory strategies and simple environmental adaptations that can be applied immediately in the classroom.
The module supports educators in using observation and individualised approaches to help children feel calm, regulated, and ready to learn, while promoting inclusion, wellbeing, and positive learning outcomes.
