STAR Institute Adds Carol Stock Kranowitz to the 2018 Pre-Symposium Parent Workshop Presentation Roster

STAR Institute for SPD announces the addition of Carol Stock Kranowitz to the roster of speakers at the 2018 Pre-Symposium Parent Workshop.

DENVER (PRWEB) May 29, 2018

Kranowitz is an active board member with STAR Institute and is well-known among parents and professionals who treat individuals with sensory processing challenges. This year her presentation will offer sensible suggestions to help parents and others who care for children with SPD. Topics will include coping with meltdowns, building on children’s self-therapy, and maintaining a sensory lifestyle while at the playground, grocery store, doctor’s office and other potentially daunting locations or events.

The focus of this year’s Parent Workshop is SPD: How It Affects the Child, the Parent and the World Around Them. In addition to Carol Kranowitz, attendees will hear from local experts in the field of SPD including Caroline Clark, MHS, OTR/L, Bryson Green, MS, OTR/L, CPAM and Jorri Sanders-Marchi, M.Ed. CCC-SLP. STAR Institute has teamed up with local partner Building Bridges Therapy to design a workshop that speaks to the local community’s needs and wants. Topics covered in the workshop will include the child’s sense of self, peer relationships, and strategies to carry-over therapeutic gains in the home and community. Participants will expand their understanding and resources with small group discussions, parent-to-parent networking and a panel Q & A.

“Carol is an incredibly valuable member of the STAR Institute family, and we’re thrilled to have her presenting again this year,” said Virginia Spielmann, MSOT, Associate Director of STAR Institute. Kranowitz is author of numerous books about sensory processing challenges, including The Out-of-Sync Child which has sold about one million copies to date. Her interest in SPD began during her 25-year career as a movement and drama teacher. During her time as a teacher, Carol noticed many young children who were “out-of-sync,” so she started learning more about sensory processing and sensory integration (SI) theory. She learned to help identify her young students’ needs and to steer them into early intervention. She also hosts workshops, where she educates parents, teachers, and other professionals on how to support young child with sensory disorders.
