School Consulting
with Alexandra Yashar, M.A., OTR/L
With educators and as a school consultant, I combine my knowledge as an OT, somatic practitioner, and parent coach to create magic in the classroom. I offer workshops, 1:1 screenings for students, and push-in consulting in the classroom. Here are the following offerings I have for your school.
​​
Sensory & Somatics Workshop
This integrative workshop is a deep dive into sensory processing, regulation, and somatics. We delve into the importance of integrating sensory and somatic techniques in the classroom for greater regulation. We speak about the ingredients to creating a sensory-friendly classroom as well as have space for tailored teacher coaching. This workshop can also be adapted for solely parents, or combination of parents and educators.
Push-in Consulting
I push into classrooms and observe 1-2 students at a time that teachers need support with. Teachers may benefit from consultation on sensory supports to use in real time. I will make individualized recommendations based on each child’s unique needs.
Reflex Integration Workshop
Reflex integration is the basis of every child’s nervous system. It is crucial that reflexes disappear; however, when retained, this can lead to an array of difficulties. This may include difficulties with attention, impulse control, bed wetting, and much more. We will discover why reflexes matter and steps you can take to integrate reflexes. This workshop can also be adapted for solely parents, or combination of parents and educators.
1:1 Student Screenings
I offer on-campus 1:1 reflex integration and OT screenings to students. The screening includes an individualized set of exercises to implement at home that will be emailed to each family after screening.

Work With Alexandra
Additionally, ​I am happy to create an in-service workshop tailored to the needs of your educators (i.e. based on the type of issues they are seeing in the classroom, whether sensory or otherwise). I also offer intensive support for teachers on an hourly basis. Please email me for additional details and pricing of workshops, 1:1 consultations, and more.
