OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders<\/a> at the University of Mississippi<\/a> will offer a free parent workshop on Saturday, June 16 from 10 a.m. to noon to help families better understand if their child\u2019s behavioral issues are actually sensory issues.<\/p>\n

“A child’s tantrums or inattentiveness are not always strictly behavioral problems \u2013 they can be sensory issues,” said Amy Livingston, a UM instructor and speech-language pathologist with the HILL Lab, an on-campus learning-language program for children with moderate to severe receptive and expressive language disorders.<\/p>\n

A joint presentation by a licensed special education teacher and a licensed speech-language pathologist will offer strategies for parents whose children with disabilities may have a sensory issue such as being hypersensitive to sights, sounds, textures, flavors, smells and other sensory input.<\/p>\n

The program will be held at Willie Price Lab School<\/a> on UM’s Oxford campus in 107 Kinard Hall. Free child care will be available for children of all abilities.<\/p>\n

A “Sib Shop” will offer free games, snacks and activities for siblings (ages 6 and up) of children with disabilities.<\/p>\n

The HILL program specializes in maximizing children’s language-learning capabilities while providing clinical training for undergraduate and graduate students seeking careers as audiologists, speech-language pathologists and SLP associates. The program works to engage with the community and conduct research that positively affects the lives of children in Mississippi and beyond.<\/p>\n
