| Alison Hart Occupational Therapist |
Alison is the founder and company director of
Children’s Choice Therapy Service Ltd – a group of specialist Occupational
Therapists working within special and mainstream schools, with healthcare,
charities, individuals and within the specialist OT and Sensory Integration
centre on the Staffordshire / Derbyshire
border. Alison Hart is also a Senior
Lecturer at the University of Derby.
See below for the abstract for her talk;
‘Understanding Sensory Processing in the classroom’ is an
introduction to help us understand what the senses are, how they need to work
together, and the kinds of difficulties our children and young people
face. The session is interactive and
will start to give ideas of how we can overcome these difficulties to enable
learning, impact behaviours and improve engagement in everyday activities.
