Access Katie’s unique style of translating neuroscience into everyday life,on demand!
Take a deep dive into the experience and neuroscience of sensory over-responsiveness as it relates to dressing! This course translates neuroscience into everyday practice to consider eight distinct but cohesive perspectives to support kids who are sensory over-responsive, or have heightened sensory reactivity in dressing.

There are many ways to address fine motor skills, but only one that starts where they start - the brain! This course for OTs, SLPs, and other clinical professionals blends information about motor areas of the brain with Sensory Integrative theory and a cognitive neuroscience understanding of what learning is and how to maximize it.
Research shows that children with disabilities and their families face higher disaster exposure, lower preparedness levels, and less recovery support than families of children without disabilities, putting them at higher risk for negative outcomes during and after disasters.
In this course, learn more about how allied health professionals such as occupational therapy practitioners, speech-language pathologists, and physical therapy practitioners can help these families, supporting safety and resilience.
Emotions and behavior are outputs of the nervous system and the field of neuroscience is transforming how we understand and raise our kids. So why shouldn’t children learn this same science about themselves?
Meet Auty. Developed by a pediatric occupational therapist and former teacher, Auty represents the nervous system in a way kids can truly understand. Through engaging animations and kid-friendly language, this program helps children make sense of their emotions and behaviors while building self-acceptance, confidence, and practical tools for self-regulation.

Emotions and behavior are outputs of the nervous system and the field of neuroscience is transforming how we understand and raise our kids.
This program translates the science of regulation into everyday language, helping participants view emotions and behaviors as meaningful signals of what is happening within a child's nervous system. Discover how sensory experiences, demands, stress, and felt-safety influence learning, emotions, and behavior and gain practical strategies to support regulation in everyday life.
What people are saying about Kathryn’s teaching:
“It has been a long time since I truly enjoyed a continuing education course. This one was great! It made me rethink my practice and how to accomplish what I really want to accomplish.”
“This is the most exciting course I've experienced in years! Combining of the science of learning with long standing / current principles of SI allow for a clear explanation of how motor learning occurs. This presentation leaves me with an enhanced understanding of this topic and more confidence in communicating treatment objectives.”
“This instructor gave the best lesson on neurology and neuroscience that I have ever heard in 30+ years!”
“I loved this course. So often I feel like continuing education is so watered down and doesn't challenge me as a practitioner. This course was fabulous and definitely made me review my foundational knowledge of neuroscience and build upon it.”
“The instructor's enthusiasm for this subject was contagious. I am more encouraged to delve into this subject to enhance my learning. The instructor had a very understandable speaking voice. I have slight to moderate hearing impairment. I really appreciated not having to work to hear the information!”
“Kathryn’s ability to translate neuroscience into everyday language is unmatched. I can tell that she was an educator before becoming an occupational therapist.””
“I loved the way Kathryn Hamlin-Pacheco OTR/L explained things and the examples she gave she was clear and concise but relatable and detailed as well! SOOO many great and practical examples favorite continuing education so far!”
“The neural terminology used in the course caused me to have to reflect on terminology that I haven't been using much throughout my school based occupational therapy career and has given me a lot of things to ponder and relearn moving forward. Thank you for the information.”
“[I] loved the clinical examples the teacher gave to bring concepts together.”
“Beautifully taught and explained!”
