The Cadence for Connection with Marti Smith
Marti Smith, OTR/L is an occupational therapist who specializes in somatosensory activity recommendations. She has worked closely with Dr. Bruce Perry and the Trust Based Relational Intervention educators since 2010 to instruct organizations on how trauma impacts the sensory systems.
She created a web-based assessment tool (KALMAR) based on the NMT model that provides free activity recommendations based on behaviors reported by the caregivers.
Her recent book, The Connected Therapist: Relating Through the Senses is a must-have resource for understanding how to rehabilitate sensory systems impacted by trauma.
She resides in Austin, Texas and sees clients at Simple Sparrow Care Farm, where they provide animal and farm assisted treatment for people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.
