OT Sensory Efficiency Skills - Focus 2024

Our senses (vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell) bring information from the outside world to our brains and allow us to understand what is happening around us. This is the basis for all learning. The sensory system develops in stages throughout our lifetimes. However, if this system is interrupted or impaired due to lack of sensory information to the brain or lack of sensory integration within the brain these stages may not occur in a typical fashion. In this session participants will: Learn the ways in which our senses develop across time and experience Understand how sensory development and processing shape our interactions with the world around us
