Join us as we explore dynamic evidence-based practice, delve into current research, and discuss sensory health and ADHD. Attendees will explore the profound influence sensory processing differences have on development and function, enabling them to effectively look beyond "behaviors" and identify underlying mechanisms. Strategies for home, school, and the community will be provided.
