The Sensory Detective Curriculum

October 4, 2023 by jennifer Leave a Comment

The calm, alert state is the state necessary for learning! Knowing how to stay regulated is a life skill.

The Sensory Detective Curriculum is a resource that can be used to enable children to learn and understand this skill.
