How Sensory Processing Disorder affects children
|
|
|
|
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a neurological disorder that causes people to have difficulties processing information from the five senses: sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste, as well as from the sense of movement, and/or the positional sense. Children with SPD experience sensory information but may perceive it abnormally and this can make simple daily tasks a struggle and cause them to have difficulties learning and making friends.
It's essential that early childhood workers fully understand the disorder and how to manage children under their care who have it. So, let's have a close look at SPD, the signs and symptoms, plus some ways that carers can help children who have SPD.

How to celebrate indigenous languages in your centre
|
|
|
|
Languages are an important part of who we are as people and our cultural identity. They help us communicate, educate, integrate socially and develop, in addition to linking us to our individual identity, traditional culture and memory. Yet sadly many languages are fast disappearing globally.
In an effort to honour and raise awareness for all the different languages around the world and help those who speak them, the United Nations has declared 2019 the Year of Indigenous Languages (IYIL 2019). Here's how you can support and celebrate indigenous languages in your early childhood service.
