Overall I found the training a good opportunity to reflect on my practice and use as a refresher. It was a good reminder to spend time thoroughly analysing and gathering information to ensure sensory recommendations are effective for the individual and their environment.
Amazing presenter and workshop! The workshop was engaging and deeply informative, providing a thorough exploration sensory processing. Def a must for OTs working with those who have complex needs as it equips OTs with advanced tools / resources to assess and address sensory processing differences.
