Continuing Professional Development: It’s a Sensory Thing - Supporting Sensory Differences in Autistic People

Reframing Autism invites you to join this professional development workshop led by Autism ally, Dr Caroline Mills, Occupational Therapist and Senior Lecturer at Western Sydney University.

This workshop will cover the topic of sensory processing differences, which are prevalent in Autistic people and can impact their full participation in everyday life. Some or all of the eight senses can be impacted and this presents differently for each individual.

Join us to learn more about sensory differences from a highly experienced Occupational Therapist and the things you can do to make a difference. We’ll also discuss bridging the gap between practice and research in this area.

Caroline has been an Occupational Therapist for 20 years in the disability sector. Much of Caroline’s work has focused on supporting sensory processing in Autistic children, and children with intellectual disability. Caroline completed her PhD at The University of Sydney in 2018, focused on supporting the sensory needs of Autistic children in schools. She is currently a Senior Lecturer in Occupational Therapy at Western Sydney University, where her research and teaching focuses on co-designed initiatives and innovative technologies to improve the lives of people with disability and other vulnerabilities in health, education and community settings.
