April is the National OT Month in the U.S., meaning occupational therapists get 30 days to celebrate everything that makes their profession one of a kind! Every year the American Occupational Therapy Association, AOTA, represents 213,000 occupational therapy practitioners and students in the United States. AOTA educates the public and advances the profession by providing resources, setting standards, and serving as an advocate to improve health care.
Sound For life, Ltd attends the AOTA Convention each year and featured its leading edge technology equipment such as Forbrain®, for attention, speech and memory and Soundsory®, for movement, balance and coordination, two headsets based on cognitive science and neuropsychology research. Both to help improve cognitive abilities and learning skills! Hundreds of Occupational Therapists, educators, researchers, students and other professionals came by our booth to get a chance to experience Forbrain and Soundsory® and all were inspired with the opportunities for their clients.
Forbrain® is a high tech, award-wining, bone conduction headset which helps the brain to process sensory information more effectively.
