OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY 10:00 am – 11:30 am
This presentation will be held via Zoom
Presented by Seka Metran, OTR/L
Just as important as developmental milestones are sensory milestones. Creating a nurturing environment for children to
improve their sensory processing skills allows them to have a better foundation in learning new skills and exploring the world
around them. Sensory skills are foundational in many areas of our lives from making new friends, trying out new foods and be-
ing able to regulate our emotions. Come and learn not only about our five most common senses but be introduced to senses
you may not formally know (vestibular and proprioception). This class will also go over fun sensory activities for you to try out
with your child.

HOW IT RELATES TO DEVELOPMENTAL This presentation will be held via Zoom.
DISABILITIES
Presented by Juan Carlos Aguila, Ph.D, HRC Psychologist
There are few topics that have received as much attention as ADHD in recent years and are still not well understood. The picture
becomes even murkier when we consider developmental disabilities, especially Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This presenta-
tion strives to provide a basic understanding of what is known about ADHD, how it is associated with developmental disabilities
and what treatment considerations are currently available. The presentation itself will focus on attentional problems more so
than issues related to hyperactivity because of their prevalence in developmental disorders and their pervasive ability to disrupt
basic life functions. Join us as we together explore the ADHD developmental disorder connection and what you can do about it.
