Dr. Winnie Dunn will be presenting a 2-day workshop to help therapists, parents and educators better understand how to translate the sensory needs of children whose sensory processing patterns interfere with daily life into practical everyday plans in the home, school and community. Participants will be able to understand core sensory processing concepts and how to explain them to others; construct plans based on sensory patterns, and employ evidence-based strategies when caring for children with sensory processing challenges.
