Sargent Rehabilitation Center will hold a 'Link to Learning' parent workshop on Thursday, June 4 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Sargent Center, 800 Quaker Lane in Warwick. The topic is "Sensory Processing, Arousal Regulation & Readiness-to-Learn." The presenter is Kathleen Schlenz, MS, OTR/L, Occupational Therapist at Sargent Rehabilitation Center.

This workshop will offer a review of neuro-developmental concepts that contribute to a child's "readiness-to-learn." The seven sensory systems will be presented in detail through lecture, group discussion and interactive learning experiences. Participants will be able to recognize the primary sensory components to typical developmental games and activities and identify a wide variety of sensory-based activities that promote sensory skill development and support learning.

The workshop is free of charge to parents but attendees should register on the Center's Link Line at 886-6612. Sargent Center's Link to Learning series has been made possible thanks to grant support from the Roy T. Morgan Foundation.
