It was followed by a speech therapist from Fly Solo, who delved into behavior strategies and social skills for students with differing needs. The occupational therapist then provided valuable insights and techniques to enhance the learning experience for students with sensory and processing issues. Jon, the owner of Fly Solo, wrapped up the session with an inspiring talk about the importance of identifying needs, responding appropriately and creating a system for the classroom between educators and specialists to create a more supportive learning environment.
