What Behavior Is Telling You: Self-Regulation and Sensory Strategies for the Classroom | Featuring Katie Zelinski, MS, OTR/L, The Well-Balanced OT | Presented by ARK Therapeutic + NASET on August 26th at 7pm EST
 
Win 1 of 5 Gift Cards

When a student fidgets, seeks movement, or chews on a pencil or sleeve, it's easy to read it as misbehavior — but often it's the nervous system asking for support. In this practical, classroom-ready session, occupational therapist Katie Zelinski (The Well-Balanced OT) reframes the behaviors teachers see every day as self-regulation strategies, and shares concrete, in-the-moment ways to support them. Attendees walk away with tools they can use Monday morning — plus free, ready-to-use teacher resources like classroom one-pagers and sample accommodation language. 

Katie Zeliski is a pediatric Occupational Therapist with over 12 years of experience working with neurodivergent children and their families. After realizing that most therapists don't have the same level of mentorship and support she received early on, she founded The Well-Balanced OT in 2021 — an online platform offering mentorship, education, and resources for pediatric therapists. Her mission is to help therapists build confidence in their practice through a neuroaffirming, sensory-informed, and child-led approach, while prioritizing balance over burnout. Katie is also the founder of the Supporting Neurodivergent Brains Summit, an online conference helping professionals ask better questions, challenge outdated practices, and confidently show up in ways that truly support neurodivergent children.

ARK Products creates sensory and oral-motor tools that help people regulate, focus, and build skills in everyday life. Founded more than 25 years ago by a speech-language pathologist and an engineer, ARK designs and manufactures a wide ecosystem of sensory tools used by families, therapists, schools, and individuals worldwide.
