Children’s ability to regulate emotions is deeply connected to how they process sensory information in their environments. For many autistic and neurodivergent children, emotional responses are influenced by sensory needs and understanding this relationship helps educators create calmer, more supportive learning spaces.

This workshop will equip Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) professionals with essential insights and practical strategies to better support children’s emotional regulation and sensory experiences in everyday learning contexts.

What you’ll learn:

✔ How sensory processing and emotional regulation are connected
✔ Signs of sensory-driven emotional responses in young children
✔ Practical strategies to support regulation and engagement in ECEC settings
✔ How to adapt environments and interactions to meet diverse sensory needs

This session is suitable for Early Childhood Educators, Support Staff, Room Leaders, Centre Directors, and anyone working in early learning spaces who wants to build inclusive, responsive practice.
