This workshop will review motor control, sensory processing, and exercise and their impact on developmental brain function and learning.  We will discuss the components inherent to classroom readiness including attention, regulation and motor development.  This course is appropriate for anyone working with children ages birth through primary education.

Upon completion, participants will be able to apply concepts to understand how motor control, sensory processing and exercise promote the development of learning readiness. Problem solving through demonstrations, lab activities and simulations, you will learn how to create interventions to support positive participation for all learners.
