Who am I?
Hi there! I’m Brenda, a school based OT, with over 20 years of working with schools and teachers. I am passionate about sharing strategies and routines every teacher can use in the classroom to help ALL their students engage and do their best.
I started Brain Spark Training because I have worked with many amazing teachers and have found even they can be overwhelmed or unsure of how to support a student. There is not always enough time in the day to explain or review the "why" behind strategies for a particular student. For new and experienced teachers, their training may have a limited curriculum, if any, about supporting neurodiverse students. In addition, teachers are expected to meet many different targets which can limit their bandwidth to discuss and apply different strategies.
Not sure where to start?
This freebie is a great first step! it will help you evaluate your classroom's physical environment and what you may already have in place to enhance self-regulation and learning from a sensory perspective and what you could add to it.
The physical environment is easy to change and adapt as you get to know your students and their sensory preferences. You can implement it and create boundaries around how the tools are used, making sure it works for the whole classroom.
