• Comment from the January 2006 conference: A Nonlinear Dynamics Approach to Sensory Modulation - "Tina Champagne blew me away! She made me proud to be an OT and inspired to get back into psych OT!" - Hollie Marron, OTR/L

  • Comment from the January 2006 conference: A Nonlinear Dynamics Approach to Sensory Modulation - "Excellent conference! Your depth of knowledge and passion is inspirational. I left there with new ideas and motivation to develop a new and improved sensory focus on our unit. I even signed up for an online introduction course to aromatherapy - I got my first lesson today! (I love my lavender scented beanbag.) I’m looking forward to working with you more." - Diane Trikakis, OTR/L

  • Comment from the January 2006 conference: A Nonlinear Dynamics Approach to Sensory Modulation - "Tina Champagne was wonderful! Her ability to answer questions so that all the professionals in the room would benefit (OTR, COTA, RN, support staff) was unmatched. To be able to present as much information as well as she did in such a short time is unmatched!" - Meghan Franklin, MS, OTR/L
