Readiness to Learn: Motor, Sensory and Self-regulation Skills (Primary Years)
Readiness to Learn is a practical self-paced professional learning course that helps educators, parents and professionals support primary school children’s motor, sensory and self-regulation needs. It provides practical sensory strategies for the classroom and resources that can help children build independence, confidence and readiness to learn.
We know how important timely support can be when a child experiences challenges with motor skills or sensory regulation. These skills can influence a child’s ability to pay attention, hold a pencil, manage emotions and participate in classroom learning. However, long waiting lists for occupational therapy services can leave parents and educators uncertain about how to help.
Why this course matters
Children need strong motor, sensory and self-regulation skills to participate fully in learning.
Without appropriate support, difficulties in these areas can contribute to frustration, challenging behaviours and barriers to classroom participation. This course empowers parents, educators and professionals with clear strategies and tools they can use to support primary school children.
