An Introduction

      My name is Jessica Barker and I am a third year occupational therapy student, as part of our course we are doing a project on aspect upcoming in the profession which we are interested in. I have decided to my presentation in the form of a blog on the topic of sensory modulation in schools with children, I am particularly interested in this topic because of a placement I have had. On my placement I was in a school pediatric occupational therapy unit, in the unit I did not work with students that had sensory disorders but this is where my interest formed.

The aims of this blog are; to educate people on what sensory modulation is, what kind of deficits a person with sensory modulation dysfunction could have and the interventions that occupational therapists can do with a person that has sensory modulation problems. After each entry I will update the contents below.
