By attending this workshop you will:

- Appreciate the nature of sensory loss following stroke and its functional impact.

- Critically evaluate current assessment methods and gain experience in new standardized assessments.*

- Critically evaluate methods of treating sensory loss relative to current principles of neuroscience.

- Apply newly researched sensory retraining methods to a range of sensory stimuli and tasks.*

- Apply evidence-based principles of sensory retraining in the context of functional activities.*

- Adopt an evidence-based approach to assessment and rehabilitation of sensory loss following stroke.

*Opportunities for hands on training in evidence-based SENSe Assess & SENSe Therapy

**Pre-reading notes will be sent to registrants

Limited places are available to ensure 'hands-on' experience.

About Professor Leeanne Carey BAppSc(OT), PhD, FAOTA, FOTARA

Leeanne Carey is a Professor of Occupational Therapy at La Trobe University and founding head of the Neurorehabilitation and Recovery research group at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health. Her research focuses on development of approaches to rehabilitation that are founded on theories of neuroplasticity and learning, and empirically tested for clinical and neuroanatomical outcomes using functional neuroimaging techniques. An important focus has been to translate these discoveries into clinical practice and better outcomes for people who experience stroke.

Workshop will be rescheduled or delivered with alternative format if needed due to COVID restrictions. Please note, all visitors attending the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health (Melbourne Brain Centre) must have received a double vaccination for Covid-19 or have a valid medical exemption. Please note, on entry to the building, you will be asked to show your certificate. Please contact Tamara if you wish to discuss this further: t.wanklyn@latrobe.edu.au.
