Course Description:
Learn to most effectively treat children and adolescents with complex behavioral, sensory integration, TBI, Autism Spectrum (DSM-V-TR associated diagnoses), cognitive limitations, PTSD, and other developmental challenges using a new approach synthesizing behavioral, sensory integration, handling, mindfulness, activity, music, and developmental strategies.
This hands-on lab course emphasizes practical evidence-based techniques integrating Positive Behavioral Support, Mindfulness, Therapeutic Movement, NDT, Neuropsychology, Sensory Integration, and sensory massage. Participants are armed with ready-to-go techniques. All participants receive reproducible, customizable copies of activities and strategies for home and school use. Emphasis will be placed on implementing new transdisciplinary intervention. Labs will improve participants’ effectiveness when sharing practical information and clinical research learned in this course with other therapists, parents and teachers.
This course is designed for occupational, speech, physical, and mental health therapists as well as special educators, psychiatrists, and other professionals seeking to improve functional outcomes with children 3 to 21 years old.
Participants will be able to apply course learning immediately to:
• Assess and differentiate sensory integration and behavioral problems in infants, children, and adolescents.
• Apply the assessment of sensory integration and behavioral problems to develop objective goals and apply appropriate intervention strategies (both contextual and direct) addressing each childs individual behavioral and/or sensory integration challenges.
• Train teachers and therapists to effectively combine practical sensory integration, mindfulness, trauma informed, and behavioral strategies.
• Use the FAB Trigger and Coping Forms to identify the most problematic environmental and body triggers for each child and the most effective coping strategies to promote self-regulation.
• Implement advanced strategies for managing sensory integration and behavior problems (e.g., inattention, interrupting, screaming, swearing, kicking, biting, and hitting) during individual and group treatment sessions.
• Learn to quickly develop home programs using the included forms (FAB: Activity Strategies to Promote Self-control, Pressure Touch, Environmental Adaptation, and Oral Sensory Strategies) for follow-up intervention across the childs school, OPD, hospital and home settings.
