You will also learn how to implement Therapeutic Listening strategies in conjunction with postural, respiratory and sensory activities. This course will take participants from client assessment through treatment with a strong emphasis on practical application using multiple case-studies.

Practitioners who have a background in sensory integration, including therapists in schools, hospitals and private clinics will find this webinar especially meaningful.
