Description:

Sensory processing is a term that is commonly used but just as commonly misunderstood. For children who have had epilepsy surgery, sensory processing difficulties may impact not only how they understand their worlds but also how they think, learn, communicate, move, and so on.

This interactive discussion of sensory processing and regulation will help you better understand what sensory processing is, how it impacts our kids, and how we can help them function better in their natural environments.

About our speaker: Lindy Joffe, OTD, OTR/L Doctor of Occupational Therapy (Post-Professional)
Lindy Joffe brings 23 years of experience to pediatric OT work. She completed her doctorate in OT through Boston University’s post-professional program in 2022 and her master’s at Columbia University in 1999. Lindy enjoys working with a range of ages, from early intervention to adolescents and the occasional adult. She has taken a broad range of courses in sensory integrative principles, DIR/Floortime techniques, cognitive perceptual organization, and Masgutova Neuromuscular Reflex Integration Techniques, among others. Lindy is particularly interested in how the motor and sensory systems, particularly the visual-vestibular-auditory triad and underlying reflex systems, interact with the executive function system to propel an individual’s problem-solving abilities in three-dimensional and two-dimensional space. Lindy believes strongly in taking therapy beyond the clinic walls, working closely with the child’s team to ensure maximal carry-over of therapeutic techniques into the child’s life. She has taught continuing education courses in sensory integration and problem-solving locally and nationwide. Lindy has a private practice in the San Francisco Bay Area.
