Sensory regulation in adults with SMI

Participants of this course will learn about sensory regulation strategies that may increase occupational engagement, specifically for individuals experiencing serious mental illness living in a residential treatment center. Participants will be able to identify the link between serious mental illness and trauma symptoms, as well as gain knowledge on how sensory processing can be affected by experiencing post-traumatic stress symptoms. This Udemy course was created as a dissemination of my doctoral capstone experience at Sheppard Pratt Health Systems in Baltimore, MD.

The development of this course is based on research, evidence based best practices and clinical experience. There are several APA references at the end.
