| Sensory integration and sensory processing disorders, what does it all mean? Why do we swing kids and call it therapy? Why do we let kids play with fidgets? The use of a sensory Integration frame of reference can be overwhelming. The need for knowledge in this area to make sound clinical decisions is important for anyone working with the special needs population. This intermediate level course helps therapists understand sensory integration framework and how to use new knowledge based on current research. Sensory integration is the foundation for the development of speech and language skills and higher level cognition. The better the sensory input, the more efficient our motor responses become. SI affects the whole body; upper extremity, lower extremities and head. Learn how to apply SI theory and how to functionally integrate it across a variety of settings including the classroom and therapy sessions.
This course will outline how to track and document progress using ABA techniques and Goal Attainment Scaling. Treatment strategies for each subtype of Sensory Process Disorders from Lucy Jane Miller Ph.D., OTR and the SIPT training will be discussed. Learn how to use what you have around you as well as some low-cost treatment ideas. Learn how to use your clinical reasoning to work through muddy areas. Incorporate the hot areas of pediatrics into your practice (i.e. vestibular, visual, auditory training, music as a tool based on Therapeutic listening, Samonas Sound Therapy, ilistening). Get hands on with SPIO, Benik, Theratogs, Kinesotaping (the pros and cons). Join us for hands-on activities, labs and a sensory friendly classroom (balls to sit on, tools that smell, snacks, music and movement breaks). This intermediate level class is designed for OTs, PTs and SLP’s to further their knowledge and skill in the area of sensory integration. |
