Sensory Integration:  Do We Really Need It?

Patricia Oetter MA, OTR/L, FAOTA

This short workshop is designed to be an interactive and experiential introduction to the process of sensory integration. We will explore the way the nervous system goes about gathering, processing, defining and acting on sensory motor events. We will first address how this process typically develops and then experience what happens when processing is delayed or disordered in some way.
 
This presentation is geared to all age groups.
