Description: Parents are inundated with information, articles, and research and need to pick and choose what is best for their children. The latest research by the Sensory Processing Disorder Foundation indicates that 1 in every 6 children experiences sensory symptoms that may be significant enough to affect aspects of everyday life functions. Are you a parent or clinician with a child on your caseload suffering from an undetected sensory concern? Perhaps hitting their brother is a result of a hearing sensitivity or maybe your child bumps into furniture and stumbles on curbs. Does your child have problems following directions, have manic outbursts at school, or refuse to wear their pajamas? Your client or your child may be giving clues to what is going on internally, so Jackie Linder Olson will go over how to interpret these signs, getting to the root of the problem. This course teaches you the parent and the clinician on becoming a Sensory Detective. The five common senses will be explored as well as those mystery senses; Vestibular, Proprioception and Interoception. Jackie will explain (in parent friendly terms) how to understand these invisible senses, what to be looking for, and then most importantly, how to help! Jackie will also explore those always present food issues; diet, allergies/intolerances, and picky eaters. A Parent Detective checklist will be provided to start a discussion with the child's pediatrician and/or therapist.
