Trainings
Patients with sensory challenges need health care providers who understand and are ready to work with them.
But without the proper training, even the most competent health professionals can feel underprepared to serve these groups.
​
Sensory Health's training modules guide providers through the basics of sensory processing. We explain the risks presented by overstimulating medical environments and help health professionals develop strategies to feel confident in care delivery.
​
Our training programs ensure that attendees understand these core concepts:
​
-
What is sensory processing and how do individuals with sensory processing challenges experience their surroundings?
-
What is sensory overload and how do healthcare environments fail individuals with sensory needs?
-
What environmental adjustments can be easily made to better support individuals with sensory needs?
