3. Articulate the presence, impact, and interplay of sensory challenges with comorbid diagnoses and be able to differentiate between symptoms that are sensory vs those that are related more specifically to the co-morbid diagnosis.
4. Articulate the role of occupational therapy practitioners and other professionals in treating and supporting children and families with a collaborative multidisciplinary approach.
