Children with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) present themselves to our practices regularly, either as a stand-alone diagnosis or as a concomitant one. This intermediate level workshop targeted to the under 12 years of age population will help you make a sound, accurate assessment that will then guide you in practical, effective and fiscally responsible treatment strategies.
