Description: For the fourth year, Maude is providing her “give back” to her community at large within the time zone of Johannesburg, South Africa. And for the fourth year at the exact same fee structure as for the first online extravaganza hosted in 2019! It is important for Maude to Provide her community with up-to-date information regarding sensory processing and theory as well as therapy related to this idea of neural integration. Our brain is neuro-plastic, and it can change, no matter the age. Join Maude on all 5 days or only on the days of interest as she adds to your arsenal of knowledge and your tool kit as a therapist. Therapists and educators have joined us from across the globe over the years and discussion as a global community is powerful, flavorful, and quite thought provoking. We must keep forming our clinical mind, keep reflecting on what works and does not work. There is no “one size fits all”, only individual differences that drives us into a new place of being as a therapist and doing therapy with the brain in mind. We hope you will join us as Maude makes older topics come alive in a new way, looking at research and evidence-based practice from different lenses. It does make a difference to your practice today!
