South Africa: Learn about sensory modulation and its patterns in children with Cerebral Palsy. Enhance your understanding with these online courses.
This course explores the theory of sensory modulation and the patterns found in children with Cerebral Palsy. It is based on the findings of occupational therapist Shánna Louwrens's master's study on the topic. The course defines sensory modulation and its relevance in paediatric neurodevelopmental conditions, describes common patterns in this population and considers their implications for emotional regulation, behaviour and participation in daily activities. It is accredited by the HPCSA for CPD points and suits South African clinicians in multidisciplinary teams.
This video explores the theory of sensory modulation and the patterns found in the Cerebral Palsy population. The talk is based on Occupational Therapist Shánna Louwrens' findings in her Masters study on this topic.
