The Different Perspectives of Sensory in Daily Life
October 11, 2023 | 10:00 AM MT
with Dr. Carrie Schmitt
REGISTER NOW 
 

STAR is excited to present a conversation led by Dr. Carrie Schmitt and Gina Crites, where they will engage in a dialogue with three individuals who intimately grasp the impact of sensory health on their daily lives and how they actively contribute to their own and their community’s sensory wellness.

In this enriching discussion, we will delve into the personal sensory journeys of our panelists. They will illuminate how sensory differences touch their everyday experiences and share how they have discovered strategies to enhance their sensory well-being.

Our focus is on real-life stories, not intricate terminology or scientific jargon. This event offers a unique opportunity for all of us to gain a deeper understanding of how sensory experiences profoundly influence our lives. We invite you to join us for an authentic conversation that promises to be both informative and enlightening.
