| Description |
When young children experience trauma, assessing the impact and treatment requires multiple disciplines perspectives with a keen grip of early childhood development. In this workshop, a seasoned pediatric occupational therapist and mental health therapist will share, through case examples and group discussion, how development becomes derailed, the need for cross collaboration of services and implementation of effective treatment while caring for the whole family.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to identify at least two behavioral reactions in young childhood which could indicate traumatic experience, sensory sensitivity or an interaction of both.
2. Participants will be able to describe how traumatic events in childhood impact the sensory system.
3. Participants will be able to identify at least two strategies that can be done in a home or office setting to address tactile reactivity.
