Course overview

In neuroscience, there is a rapidly growing and evolving understanding of sensory function that is important for all occupational therapists to be tracking-and particularly those who work with autistic clients. In this one hour continuing education course, we'll dive into a research review, where the authors take three main assumptions that both neuroscientists and occupational therapists make regarding sensory function and they discuss where the research stands with each one. You'll leave this article feeling humbled by how much we still have to learn about sensory function and autism. Yet, also in awe of the advances we have made over the past few decades-one can only imagine what we will learn in future years! After we look at some specific research on this topic, we'll be bringing in our expert guest, Bryden Giving, MAOT, OTR/L. Bryden will help us connect this complex topic to your works on the frontlines.
