Hi everyone,

TACA is meeting this Saturday, May 16th, and our topic is Sensory Integration.

Our speaker is Annette Hatter, OTR/L who has tons of experience with ASD
kids. She will focus on answering the following questions for us. What is
sensory integration? How can we use sensory strategies to help children
function happily in the home and school setting? How can we use sensory
activities to enhance relationships and learning?
