Learn about how to apply the science of sleep to strategy in this two day workshop specifically for occupational therapists working with clients across the lifespan.

Virtually every neurological and psychiatric disorder manifest sleep-wake dysregulation (Gracia-Rill, 2019).

This workshop addresses this important question.
