Practical Sense in SI Part 1
"Putting the Pieces Together"
An intermediate level 2 day conference that provides practical applications on specific evaluation and treatment techniques of modulation dysfunction for a varied client population. Very useful and practical information for clinicians working with autistic spectrum disorders (autism,PDD,Asperger’s, Retts), ADD/ADHD and the lower functioning clients that are difficult to reach because of behavioral problems and overt sensory processing deficits.
Who Should Attend?
Occupational and Physical Therapists who are interested in learning PRACTICAL, hands-on, specific techniques focusing on the recognition and treatment of sensory modulation disorders. These strategies will increase your clients’ ability to focus and learn and improve their skill acquisition, resulting in notable functional outcomes in your treatment sessions. Special Educators and SLPs can also greatly benefit from this course content.
Learning Objectives:
TheraPeeds uses an interactive medium in all classes and the programs are structured to cover each of the learning outcomes in each segment of instruction. The conclusion of each segment involves a review of the content covered and questions to assess the acquisition of learning outcomes.
At the completion of this course, participants will be able to:
-
Identify the neurological process as well as the theories of neuroscience that govern Sensory Integration treatment.
-
Identify the indicators of a modulation dysfunction, using clinical observation skills, and indicate how these indicators affect their specific discipline.
-
Demonstrate the use of specific manual treatment approaches to address sensory integration dysfunction.
-
Identify appropriate sensory-based home and classroom strategies to promote ease and efficiency in carry-over of treatment strategies for parents and teachers.
Continuing Education Credits:
A certificate of completion will be issued at the end of the course, approved by the following sanctioning organization:
