Sensory Modulation Symposium
for Occupational Therapy in Mental Health
Continuing Education
One main objective of this Symposium was to update therapists on the most recent information regarding Sensory Modulation Treatment, Sensory Modulation Disorders, and sensory related assessment tools.
Therapists are encouraged to continue their education regarding these modalities and assessments.
