Education Parent Training Plan
Parent Training Plan Assignment Instructions
Overview
Individuals with ASD are uniquely impacted by sensory needs at home and school. Both hypo and hypersensitivities can impact each of an individual’s senses and impact communication, behavior, and social responses. As educators, we must support families in their awareness of how these sensory needs manifest and provide support recommendations. You will review the current literature, on sensory processing disorders related to tactile, vestibular, proprioceptive, visual, and auditory functions to develop strategies that parents can use with their children at home.
