What Are Others Saying?

"The workshop covered a highly relevant topic and included useful concepts around occupational fit, communication preferences, sensory regulation, workplace accommodations and clinical governance. My key takeaway was the importance of considering the fit between the person, work environment and role demands when supporting neurodivergent OTs. I would have found the workshop more useful if the pacing had been more balanced, with less time spent on general discussion early in the session and more time spent on the later practical content and case study."

Lucy C, Occupational Therapist

"I was able to reflect on strategies I have implemented as a neurodivergent new grad OT, and learn some new ideas. I also gained an understanding as to the "why" behind the strategies, which has left me feeling empowered and validated!"

Eva K, Occupational Therapist
