The focus of SI101 is not as much on the lectures as it is on practical experiences of sensory functions and dysfunctions. You will find instruction for many hands-on sensory experiences and practical exercises that will easily be able to implement in your daily life. Just follow our detailed instructions - and please don't miss out on these experiences! They will change your views and understanding of children with sensory integration problems!
