Description
Access this comprehensive on-demand vest training focused on evidence-based best practices for using sensory vests in school settings. This course equips teachers and occupational therapy practitioners with practical strategies to help students participate more effectively in classroom activities, build social connections, and develop independence in daily tasks.
We’ll dig into the real challenges kids with sensory processing differences face in school environments and explore how weighted and pressure vests can be valuable tools when used appropriately. This isn’t about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions – it’s about understanding the research, knowing when vest interventions make sense, and implementing them safely and effectively.
