about a day spent on watching a variety of video clips
of treatment sessions and discussing the clinical reasoning
connected to the strategies being used? This course

knowledge base in pediatrics. Strategies used will
target issues related to modulation and sensory defensiveness,

reference; Sensory Integration, Sensory Defensiveness (Wilbarger),

model, Therapeutic Listening, Astronaut training/Mary Kawar.
