Sensory Defensiveness: A Comprehensive Treatment Approach
Are you looking to enhance your ability to identify and treat sensory defensiveness in your clients? Do you want to learn a comprehensive, clinical approach to confidently address this problem?
This workshop is designed to help you identify sensory defensiveness across multiple age and diagnostic groups. You'll learn how it disrupts occupational performance, and the relation between sensory defensiveness and emerging psychological and neuroscience theories of behavior.
Through clinical labs and practicum exercises, you'll receive training in specific assessment and treatment techniques, including developing a sensory diet, managing individual cases, and administering the Wilbarger Therapressure Protocol. Join us to gain your accreditation and to advance your clinical reasoning skills in the treatment of sensory defensiveness.
This is the first time in 5 years that this course has been offered in Australia.
