Laurie Turuelo; an Occupational Therapist at Beechwood College; will be covering information surrounding our sensory systems; sensory behaviours and what these may look like and/or mean to the autistic individual. Laurie will also explore some information around the sensory profile assessment; highlighting the importance of intervention in diagnosis.
Autism, or Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) is a complex developmental disorder that is normally diagnosed in early childhood. People with autism have difficulties communicating, forming relationships with others and find it hard to make sense of the world around them. It is estimated that approximately 67 million people worldwide are affected by autism. Many others are undiagnosed, misunderstood and looking for help. Hope GB exists to provide support, encouragement and guidance to people from all walks of life that are affected by autism.
