Building on the work of Anne Donnellan and Martha Leary, this series of two webinar recordings provides practical insights and tools so that people with autism and other sensory and movement differences can be better supported to live more independently. These videos are available for rent individually or as a series.
Video 1
An introduction to sensory-movement differences and diversity
The first in the series builds an understanding of the diverse ways people experience the world and how this knowledge can be used to develop learning and behavioural approaches that are both collaborative and successful.
The manner in which a person handles incoming information is paramount in determining the most successful supports for an optimally independent, rich and full life. How do we get there? Let’s go together! Join us in this explanation & video demonstration of what occurs for individuals with sensory and movement differences and diversity.
Based on the work of Leary and Donnellan (2012), we use this understanding as a cornerstone for determining learning and behavioral approaches that are collaborative and successful for some of our most complex learners.
