Just Right! Sensory Modulation Curriculum With Hands-On Interventions for Classrooms and Clinics

Course overview

Sensory modulation is considered a component of emotional regulation and social-emotional learning and is critical for academic and social success. Research shows that sensory modulation is a skill that can be taught. This course reviews the evidence supporting instruction in sensory modulation and basic concepts and terminology used in this instruction. In this 3-hour, view-on-demand, recorded webinar, participants have the opportunity to practice and learn how to use the lessons from Just Right! A Sensory Modulation Curriculum for K-5 with hands-on activities, make-it/take-it projects, and video demonstrations. This course references the Curriculum throughout and includes access to the digital version. NOTE: To participate in hands-on activities (1) Please print the handout labeled "PRINT for make-it take-it activity." This PDF will be downloadable with the course materials in the view-on-demand version. (2) Have these supplies available (a) scissors, (b) glue stick, (c) 2 white paper plates, (d) 1 brass fastener, (e) 1 paper clip, and (f) 1 Manila folder. At the end of this course, you will be able to (1) define sensory modulation and the three major subtypes of Sensory Modulation Disorder (SMD); (2) identify where sensory modulation fits within a Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) frame of reference and within the tiers of intervention; (3) Delineate components of the Just Right! Curriculum, including materials and preparation, instructional modifications, and access to demonstration videos and student handouts; and (4) Define major terms and concepts used in the Just Right!
