WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
Great workshop! I think sensory integration in the adult space if very much neglected and should be prioritised. This workshop was great in providing guidance re: assessments, education and interventions!
The workshop was highly informative and provided a solid introduction to understanding sensory processing in adults. By attending, you will be provided with a good balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application and will gain the skills to deliver these interventions with confidence. The real live examples were great!
