Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), learning difficulties, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and related conditions often experience sensory integration disorder, which affects their ability to process and organize sensory input from their bodies or the surrounding environment.
Sensory Integration Theory is a neurological process that organizes sensory input from the body and environment, enabling effective bodily responses and interactions. The brain relies on this process during daily activities.
In addition, these children require development of fine motor and functional skills to enhance their ability to adapt and live more independently. This training course will focus on developing all of these abilities in participants.
