Join Occupational Therapist, Sarah MacKenzie, as she introduces sensory processing differences and sensory diets.Neurodivergent individuals often experience challenges with sensory input to their brain. Some individuals are hypersensitive to sensory input of light, noise, sound, touch, and smell, while others may be hyposensitive to the senses. Whichever experience an individual has, there are ways professionals can help to combat it, sometimes through the use of sensory diets. Sensory diets are specifically designed for the individual to have a variety of sensory-based activities that are designed to assist with attention, arousal, and adaptive responses to their environment. Sensory diets can also be helpful in assisting someone in understanding their sensory needs, as many individuals who experience sensory challenges have a hard time discerning their specific areas of need. In this presentation we will go over what sensory diets are, and what they are used for. We will also go over sensory diet activities, and how to determine what sensory needs an individual has. While this lunch 'n' learn is intended for students, all are welcome.

Have you ever lost your car at an airport (remember those) or a giant car park? If you have location turned on on your phone, you can get Google to remember.
- Touch & hold the home button or say "Hey Google"
- Say (for example):
- "I parked here", "remember where I parked", "I'm parked in level 3 row 3", "I'm parked in the blue zone"
- When you get back and are wandering say "Hey Google - where did I park?"
Google will tell you. It'll even show you a map!

“I know I have to do well; it’s not a choice”: Being Black in University, with Carl E. James, Ph.D. York University
Colleagues at UPEI are invited to share in the opening session of Part 2 of the Black Students Matter Teaching Retreat at St. Francis Xavier University which features Dr. Carl James on Tuesday, November 9, beginning at 10:15 a.m. Atlantic. Please note: This session will NOT be recorded. Please use this link to register. The Zoom link will be shared ~ 24 hours before.
Synopsis: With reference to community, research, and media reports, we will explore the experiences of Black students in today’s universities noting how they negotiate the inequitable institutional structures in order to realize their educational, employment and career ambitions. We will reflect on how today’s discourses of “systemic racism” and the programs initiated are bringing about the changes anticipated or needed.
If you are interested in a viewing /discussion session with the recording from Part 1 featuring Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billing's talk on Culturally Responsive Pedagogy, please email TLC@upei.ca.
