Participants will leave armed with new direct treatment strategies, as well as contextual interventions to assess and treat across five interdependent systems: motor, sensory, emotional-relational, communication and cognitive problem-solving. Participants will learn to treat the root deficit systems instead of isolated deficit behaviors. This effective approach helps patients to show spontaneity and self-motivation to seek out increasingly positive interactions. The focus will be on tools to enhance participation by improving body awareness, postural stability/security, coordinative skill, motor planning, interest and skill with interpersonal communication, organization, and abstract reasoning for learning. Course Objectives: Participants will be able to apply course learning immediately to: • Identify and access efficacy research to justify diagnosis and treatment of SPD. • Design contextual and direct intervention strategies that enable praxis and academics (including handwriting,visual-spatial thinking, arithmetic, spelling, memorization and abstract problem-solving). • Design interventions that address developmental deficits across the five interdependent development systems. • Assess and document an individuals specific deficit area and establish goals and priorities for treatment. • Integrate interventions to establish basic attachment relationships and sensory pleasure. Develop interventions skills in ball work for SI, muscle tone and postural development.
