The workshop geared towards professionals is focused on using the Sensory Processing 3 Dimension Scale (SP3D Scale) and only has space for the first 150 attendees. The focus will be on identifying underlying sensory-motor processing abilities contributing to family-identified problems in daily life. This Pre-Symposium workshop will be led by Dr. Lucy J.
