Assessment & Treatment for Sensory Modulation Difficulties in Children with Cerebral Palsy

South Africa · CPD points & talks · Psychologists

Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) often experience sensory modulation difficulties that can significantly impact their behaviour, learning, emotional regulation, and quality of life. These challenges may go unrecognised or be misunderstood, limiting effective intervention. This targeted CPD session provides practical guidance on assessing and treating sensory modulation difficulties in children with CP. Through clear clinical examples and evidence-informed recommendations, participants will develop a deeper understanding of how to tailor assessments and implement therapeutic strategies that support regulation and engagement. Included with this course are the presenter’s downloadable notes to support your continued learning and application in practice
