Clinical Reasoning
In this informative talk, we will explore the crucial but often overlooked role of sensory processing challenges in the therapeutic setting. We’ll discuss how these difficulties can manifest in our clients. Stemming from a background in learning disabilities, Alistair will help you investigate what sensory processing is and how small differences in neurology can lead to significant challenges with achieving therapeutic outcomes. Through practical strategies and case examples, we will examine ways to modify our clinical environments and approaches to better accommodate these needs, ensuring a more inclusive and effective therapy experience. This talk is essential for any therapist looking to deepen their understanding of person cantered care and to enhance the quality of care for all people, particularly those who may struggle with the sensory demands of the therapeutic process. Join us to learn how small adjustments in our approach can lead to significant improvements in client's engagement and outcomes.
