Sensory processing difficulties (SPD) can significantly impact a child's behavior, learning, and overall well-being. However, many educators, particularly those teaching in the early grades, lack the necessary training to recognize and effectively respond to these challenges. Consequently, students exhibiting atypical behaviors are often mislabeled or misunderstood, leading to inappropriate interventions or missed opportunities for early support. The B-SENSE (Behavioral and Sensory Exploration for Nurturing Successful Educators) program aims to bridge this critical knowledge gap by providing training and resources to educators. The B-SENSE program is a multi-faceted professional development initiative designed to enhance educators' understanding of SPD and their ability to distinguish these conditions from behavioral issues (BI). The program comprises several key components including a needs assessment survey, two training modules, informational emails, and a post-training survey. It is grounded in the principles of effective professional development approaches, constructivist theory and sensory integration theory. Using a variety of methods, this training incorporates evidence-based strategies, such as active learning, collaborative problem-solving, and the application of concepts to real-world scenarios. The B-SENSE program equips educators with the confidence and competence necessary to identify SPD, make appropriate referrals, and implement inclusive practices within their classrooms. This initiative aims to foster reflection leading to positive changes in attitudes, behaviors, beliefs, and methods. By fostering collaboration among educators, parents, and school administrators, and promoting a culture of empathy and acceptance, this program may positively impact student outcomes, lead to inclusive policies, raise job satisfaction, and increase employee retention rates within school districts.
