Is it Behavioral or Is it Sensory?

Then come and listen, feel, move and learn.

Australia

It is suitable for a wide range of different participant groups e.g. Therapists, Parents, Educators,

Content: The introductory workshop covers the basic concepts underlying assessment and
treatment of Sensory Processing Disorder.


Sensory Processing Disorder is often found in children with ADHD, ODD, ASD and Asperger’s
Syndrome as well as children with motor coordination difficulties. However childhood behaviours are
not always sensory based so we will explore the different types of behaviour and how each should
be approached. Practical strategies will be provided
