This workshop is designed to raise awareness and equip staff with a basic understanding of how the nervous system works from a sensory processing perspective. Participants will learn about the function and importance of each sensory system - sight, hearing, movement, proprioception, touch, taste, and smell - as a foundation for learning and participation in daily life. This workshop aims to provide participants with practical, active strategies to support self-regulation, particularly in achieving a calm, alert state. This state is essential for carrying out one's daily routine and occupations while maintaining positive mental and physical health.

By the end of the workshop, participants will:

• understand the importance of sensory systems for personal well-being, teaching, and learning;
• gain knowledge of how sensory systems function and how they can be utilised to enhance physical and mental well-being;
• become aware of and reflect on their own sensory profiles;
• apply their understanding of sensory systems to their workplace;
• acquire a toolkit of practical strategies and resources to support their teaching, learning, and personal well-being in their daily university life.
