Do you work with a child that has difficulty paying attention? No matter what type of academic task a child is
working on, progress is limited if they are unable to maintain their attention. There are many underlying reasons
for a child with a fleeting attention span and many can be related to visual issues, primitive reflexes and possible
sensory diagnosis. Kimberly M. Wiggins is an occupational therapist and a mother of a child with special needs and
has developed techniques and strategies that can mitigate attention issues as well as ease frustration from working
harder to complete simple tasks.
Professionals around the country are finding out that the two most effective strategies to address poor attention
are multi-sensory techniques and technology. Children that receive movement breaks and learn in a multisensory
approach are able to retain information better, and there are now many technology tools that can be used to increase
motivation and attention spans while working on the basic fine motor and visual perception skills. Unfortunately,
technology and sensory equipment can be expensive and hard to come by. This workshop will teach you attention
grabbing strategies that can be implemented immediately into practice. Resources on where to find sensory
equipment as well as low-tech options and instructions on how to make your own sensory items will also be
presented in this interactive workshop. After completing the course, you will have gained activities, exercises, and
resources that you will be able to use the very next day to benefit individual students.
