Description: Sensory processing disorders in school-age children is a challenging treatment area. Evidence-based practice for SPD is continuing to emerge, which explains more to healthcare practitioners about its presence and etiology, but the strategies to approach the various and complex sensitivities and needs of children with SPD is limited. It is the clinician’s responsibility to draw conclusions from the emerging research and the day-to-day needs of a kiddo in their daily environment; the home, classroom, and community activities. Britt Collins, M.S. OTR/L of the STAR Center, has dedicated her time and career to increasing her clinical awareness and knowledge of children with SPD, as well as ASD, ADHD, among other childhood conditions. Britt shares her expertise to help you separate sensory from behavior in the classroom, identify the subtypes of SPD (i.e., SMD, SBMD, SDD), tips to develop the just right challenge treatment strategies, and communication and relationship building techniques. This webinar will help you learn how to recognize and understand the various sensory systems, and how they interact with Sensory Integrative Treatment for children. Programs such as the Integrated Listening System for auditory processing disorders will be discussed. Various videos are also shared to provide you with actual examples of children exhibiting sensory overresponsiveness, underresponsiveness, cravers, and more. This course caters to various learning styles and experience levels of parents, clinicians, school faculty, and supporting healthcare personnel. Therefore, each participant will gain knowledge on how to recognize and understand what Sensory Processing Disorder is, as well as effective treatments for children with SPD.
