Sensory Processing: Kim Griffin, occupational therapist The Teachers' Podcast

This week, I chat with Kim Griffin, an occupational therapist who is currently based in Australia. Kim has been working with pupils with SEN for almost 20 years and is on a mission to help teachers and educators understand the ‘why’ behind the way children behave when they have sensory processing difficulties.

In this episode, Kim shares:


How choice can have an impact on the way children with sensory processing issues behave.
Why it is important educators understand how sensory processing can affect behaviour.
Why she is so passionate about educators learning more about sensory processing.
