Readiness to Learn: Motor, Sensory and Self-regulation Skills (Early Years)
Readiness to Learn is a practical early childhood professional development course for educators, parents and professionals. This self-paced course provides the knowledge, strategies and resources needed to support young children’s motor development, sensory regulation, self-regulation and readiness to learn.
We know how important early support can be when a child experiences challenges with motor skills or sensory regulation. These skills provide essential foundations for children’s learning. However, long waiting lists for occupational therapy services can leave parents and educators uncertain about how to help.
Why this course matters
Nearly one in four children begin school behind in key developmental areas, but accessing early support can be difficult.
Children need strong motor and sensory skills to participate fully in learning. These skills help children sit upright, pay attention, hold a pencil and manage emotions in the classroom.
Without appropriate support, difficulties in these areas can lead to challenging behaviours, frustration and barriers to learning. This course empowers parents, educators and professionals with clear strategies and practical tools they can use immediately.

- Understand the connection between motor skills, sensory regulation and readiness to learn.
