Understanding the sensory and motor development of young children is vital to support their participation and success. Challenges in these areas may exacerbate many social, behavioral, and learning difficulties during early childhood and into school years. This webinar will highlight sensory and motor assessments and key strategies available to professionals across settings, including special educators, speech language pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, and school psychologists.

After this session, participants will be able to:

1. Discuss early childhood motor and sensory milestones for children ages birth to five years.
2. Describe three diagnostic groups at higher risk of sensory and/or motor difficulties.
3. Identify three assessment tools available for the identification of sensory and/or motor needs appropriate for children ages birth to five years.
4. List three strategies which can be employed in an early childhood setting to support the sensory and/or motor needs of young children.
