Free Webinar: Is it Sensory or is it Behavior?

Join Katie Frank, PhD, OTR/L and Abby Rowley, LCSW as they discuss causes for behavior change and how to determine whether the change is a sensory need or a behavior issue. Additionally, practical strategies will be shared to address both sensory and behavioral needs of individuals with Down syndrome.

She also serves as the president of the Down Syndrome Medical Interest Group-USA. Abby is a licensed clinical social worker who previously worked as a case manager in a residential community for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as in the school system as a social worker.
