From whole-class routines to individualized therapy, discover practical tools to meet sensory and attentional needs at every level of support.

Whether on your caseload or flying just under the radar, some students struggle every day to sit still, stay focused, and keep up.

Too often, labels—or the absence of them—become barriers that keep kids from getting the support they truly need to thrive in their classroom environment.

In this 1-day virtual workshop, you’ll learn how to reframe support through a universal lens—seeing beyond labels to meet the full continuum of needs in your school.

Designed by Occupational Therapists for Occupational Therapists, Educators, and School Administrators, this workshop provides inclusive, evidence-informed strategies that work across Tier 1 (classwide supports), Tier 2 (small group interventions), and Tier 3 (individualized therapy). No fancy equipment or complicated schedules required.

A dynamic team of five OTs will share field-tested techniques to build routines that support regulation, embed movement into academics, and transform classrooms into spaces that work for all learners.

Whether you’re coaching teachers, collaborating with teams, or working directly with kids on your caseload, you’ll walk away with practical, creative strategies to support busy bodies and bright minds at every level of need.
