having english subtitles make me easy to learning from this video. thanks a lot.

I believe this is a great approach to working with children and should be used by all childcare providers and parents. I see a very important piece missing though: Sensory Self Regulation. Sensory processing and sensory self regulation are inextricably connected to emotional self regulation. I child with sensory processing difficulties will likely not be able to follow a cue to calm down or take a breathe. Dr. A. Jean Ayres was the first to explain sensory processing, also called sensory integration, “Sensory integration is the organization of sensation for use. Our senses give us information about the physical conditions of our body and the environment around us. Sensations flow into the brain like streams flowing into a lake. Countless bits of sensory information enter our brain at every moment, not only from our eyes and ears, but also from every place in our bodies. We have a special sense that detects the pull of gravity and the movements of our body in relation to the earth.” (The vestibular system) “The brain must organize all of these sensations if a person is to move and learn and behave normally. The brain locates, sorts, and orders sensations - somewhat like a traffic policeman directs moving cars. When sensations flow in a well-organized or integrated manner, the brain can use those sensations to form perceptions, behaviors, and learning. When the flow of sensations is disorganized, life can be like a rush-hour traffic jam.” There are many great websites that can give you more information about sensory processing/sensory integration and sensory regulation. pediatricdevelopmentcenter.com/specializations/arousal-and-self-regulation/ move-with-me.com www.sensory-processing-disorder.com www.sensory-processing-disorder.com/sensory-diet.html www.sensorysmarts.com I hope you will look at this information to help you little ones who may have sensory processing difficulties. Keep up your great work!

Oh wow its Jill. Her class is fantastic shes amazing

How can a researcher gather data from children about self regulation? Thank you

Very insightful topic, the speech is a bit disjointed and tough to follow. Thanks for the upload!

How can we find schools and childcare centre's who are using this approach? I would like my child to experience this!
