ASD & Sensory Differences POPARD Virtual Half-Day Workshop
November 23, 2026 12:30pm-3:30pm (Pacific Time) (for BC School Employees Only)
Most people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) report sensory processing difficulties. Understanding how ASD impacts sensory systems can help you support autistic children. Workshop participants will review the basics of the sensory system and sensory processing. They will learn to recognize the effects of over-sensitivity and under-sensitivity in different areas (e.g. sights, sounds) and will learn appropriate strategies to help kids cope at school. This half-day (three hour) workshop is intended as an introduction to the topic for school staff (e.g. educational assistants, student support workers, and teachers) working directly with autistic students.
