- YSU Ijevan Branch Students of the "Psychology" educational program participated in a two-day training on the topic of "Sensory Integration"
The project "Living Together, Learning Together: Support Today for a Secure and Sustainable Future," implemented by the "Bridge of Hope" NGO, aims to promote the social inclusion, development, and well-being of children with disabilities, socially vulnerable children, and displaced children in the Ijevan community by creating an inclusive environment and a fully equipped sensory therapy room. As part of this project, various activities are being carried out for students from local community groups. During the training, students from the YSU Ijevan Branch were introduced to approaches to sensory integration, the specifics of their application, and their practical significance within the process of psychological work.
Specifically, the training covered the definition of sensory integration, the primary sensory systems, the causes and types of sensory integration dysfunction, how to identify sensory integration challenges, and which approaches to employ when addressing issues related to sensory perception. Students also learned about the structure of a sensory room, the games used within it, and the various tools and equipment employed.
This two-day training helped the students expand their professional knowledge, develop practical skills, and discover opportunities to apply new approaches in their future professional practice.
