PROGRAM DETAILS

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) has evolved from the theory of Sensory Integration (SI). Jean Ayres, OTR/L developed the theory of Sensory Integration in the 1960s. Currently, the terminology is used to define the innate ability of the human brain to organize, process and store sensory input with the ability to turn those sensory messages into controlled behaviors. The neurological process of turning sensory messages into controlled actions can present a diverse range of function/dysfunction. Health care professionals, educators and parents are alarmed by the fact that neurological disorders have reached epidemic proportions. SPD is at the base of many of these neurologically based childhood disorders including, Autism, Bipolar, ADHD, developmental delays and others. After 40-plus years, we are beginning to define SPD as a stand-alone diagnosis, as well as a co-morbid condition.

This unique seminar will enlighten participants with the ability to understand why we have a neurological epidemic and how to discern which patients have SPD-only cases. Critical stages for intervention will be discussed, as well as methods for preventing under- and over-stimulation of the sensory system. Effective applications will be outlined for children from infancy through adolescence. Most importantly, the audience will walk away with the ability to prevent, define and differentiate SPD, as well as develop effective programs and treatment plans across all environments.


WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Discover how early diagnosis, early intervention and early recovery are key components in Sensory Processing Disorder
  • Differentiate between Sensory Modulation Disorder, Sensory Discrimination and Sensory Based Motor Disorder
  • Examine co-morbid conditions that can complicate SPD, such as Autism, ADHD and Bipolar Disorder
  • Develop an effective treatment strategy based upon the age of the client and the stage of treatment they are in
  • Determine how to develop treatment plans that are in accordance with IDEA, educational goals and parental rights
  • Evaluate Sensory Processing Disorder and its sub-categories
  • Examine a new look at the differential diagnoses of SPD, Autism, Bipolar and ADHD
  • Determine how early diagnosis, early intervention and early recovery are key concepts in SPD
  • Recognize how treatment options include all seven senses secondary to their interdependency
  • Outline how behavior communicates across all environments and becomes indicative of specialized treatment
  • Describe how to view the entire Sensory Processing Disorder concept and the importance of team treatment
