“Dr. Tony” teaches a Sensory Solutions Framework that is a relationship-building, multi-sensory model of teaching that: (A) engages more than one sense at a time in learning activities (sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste, movement) for the DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS, and (B) cultivates the Individual’s inner sense of self/identity that enriches their quality of life with added value and meaning, for the DEVELOPMENT of RELATIONAL / SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL AWARENESS.

We are sharing resources with those involved with children and their families and communities, to promote health, well-being and quality of life for all.

a FALL Webinar Series: enriching learning environments with sensory solutions

September 14, 2021 by mhawks

~ communicating  ~  creating  ~  connecting  ~

A free webinar series (English with Spanish translation) is offered by Quality of Life Institute, Inc., in partnership with INCLUSI of California. This series is a public service outreach for community awareness of possibilities and resources for parents, educators, and other caregivers and mentors who impact the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Research is collecting increasing evidence that emphasizes how multi-sensory integration in learning environments adds value to everyday perceptual tasks, and is showing how interactions within multi-sensory environments ‘increase neural plasticity and enhance one’s ability to learn  (Shams & Seitz, 2008).

Our hope is that all of us, including Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and their families and mentors/teachers can thrive in their communities. A Sensory Solutions Learning Framework supports each learner’s well-being and offers meaningful direction for the facilitator. It’s applications achieve a quality-of-life outcome by nurturing the relational, social-emotional foundation for learning, expanding from this center to cultivate a climate of reciprocation in the learning environment.

“In human development, freedom and the genuine feel of self-determination are only concepts until they become developed and differentiated through one’s narrative story. This is a quality of life goal and outcome, produced through reciprocal relationship-building processes that incorporate a framework of Gentle Teaching, where learning and living begin with feeling safe and loved.” ~Dr. Anthony M. McCrovitz, Executive Director
