Presents:

“Fun and Success Using a Multisensory Model to Work with Children with Complex Needs.”

Dr. Celia Hinrichs

Demonstrate how the information gathered using interdisciplinary assessments can be used to impact treatment
Better awareness of the common types of developmental disabilities in children that can have disruptive behaviors
Educate staff in the office to increase success in these populations
Develop better understanding of priorities for this population and appropriate referrals

Actual cases will be shared to demonstrate how this knowledge improves your success.
