Did you know that 40% of children with ADHD also have disordered sensory processing? Or that 50% have motor issues? In-Sync Activities are designed to get kids actively moving so that they can develop and enhance three crucial areas of development: Sensory Processing, Perceptual-Motor and Visual skills. Movement is one of the most important factors in the physical, emotional, academic, and overall success of every child. Children develop the foundation for who they will become for the rest of their lives as they learn to move in different ways. Moving is fundamental to being “In Sync.” When you are In Sync, your movements are efficient and fluid. You feel comfortable in your body. When you are comfortable in your body, you feel good, you function better, and your brain is more available for learning.

Presenter:
As a preschool teacher for 25 years, Carol Stock Kranowitz observed many
children with sensory processing differences (SPD), ADHD, and mild
autism. To help them become more competent in their work and play, she
studied sensory processing and sensory integration theory. She learned
to help identify her young students’ needs and to steer them into early
intervention. Today, she speaks internationally about SPD's effect on
children’s learning and behavior and how families, teachers, therapists
and other professionals can support children as they grow.
Since its publication in 1998, The Out-of-Sync Child (first in her
“Sync” series) has become one of the most popular books about sensory
processing and related issues. It has been translated into 15
languages, including Spanish and Chinese, and has sold one million
copies. With Joye Newman, a perceptual-motor therapist, Carol has
developed the "In-Sync Child Program” for parents and early childhood
educators. The program includes books, cards, and webinars about fun
and functional movement activities to develop children’s sensory,
perceptual-motor, and visual skills.
A graduate of Barnard College of Columbia University, Carol has a
master’s degree in education and human development from The George
Washington University. She is an advisory board member of the STAR
Institute in Colorado. She lives in Maryland, plays the cello, and dotes
on five sensational grandchildren.
