Do you ever wonder if your child’s behavior is tied to her sensory challenges? This educational video explains why children with an underdeveloped midbrain can run into problems and the type of issues they may be facing. This is why many children go to occupational therapy — to help build new neurons in their brain… Via britishroses, Jocelyn Stoller

Interesting graphic. Not sure I have seen it presented like this before. How might this benefit our work with youth?

Steve Whitmore's insight:
When you conduct an assessment, do you examine how much movement time there is in the day for the child? Do you ask the parents how much active time they get? In our plugged in/common core world, it is so easy to forget to move once in a while.

Good Chrome Extensions for Students with Disabilities This week I am giving some guest bloggers the opportunity to share their experiences with you. This is a guest post from Clint Winter.
I am lucky because I get to be an Instructional Technologist in the Clarke County School District in Athens, Georgia. Our school district is a 1:1 district in grades 3 to 8. Also, we are a Google Apps for Education District. Our teachers are using electronic devices in order to better differentiate for our students. I have been working with our district Assistive Technology Team to help identify useful chrome extensions for our students with disabilities. We like chrome extensions because our students can sign into their chrome browser and take their extensions with them! Our team decided to focus on the areas of organization and accessibility when finding extensions for our students with disabilities.
Steve Whitmore's insight:
Are you using Google Chrome or APP's for kids who struggle with organization or learning? How?

To truly prepare students to be college and career ready we need to continue to teach them the social-emotional skills they will need for college, career, and their personal lives.
Steve Whitmore's insight:
Given all of the pressures that educators feel, we need to make sure that we keep education fun and encourage exploration. We need to allow "space" to make mistakes.
How do you provide a safe atmosphere for students that allows them to ask questions and be respected for who they are?

Steve Whitmore's insight:
This curriculum packs a lot of power and is research based! For Social-Emotional Learning, it is a great option for Tier 1. Tiers 2 & 3 could use it as a spring board.
There are assessment at the end of all of the elementary Social & Emotional Health Sections. The scope and sequence would give you an idea of expectations for each grade level. If you have staff that have been trained, the kits should be in your buildings. The posters and processes are simply, but effective.

Great video for teachers, parents and kids to begin discussion about sensory issues. I liked the white noise thoughts.
