Sensory Processing or Behavior?Implications for Intervention

See all courses from Education Resources, Inc.

Instructor's Name: Debra Dickson

This workshop will focus on the underlying causes of challenging behavior that impact performance and functional outcomes. Clinicians will learn how to differentiate between the sensory processing problems and the behavioral/emotional problems in order to develop an integrated approach to intervention. We will specifically address visual and vestibular processing disorders that impact social skills and school performance as the key to designing effective integrated treatment for improved sensory processing, motor skills and behavior. Through extensive video case analysis of infants, toddlers, school age children and adults, this course examines sensory-motor development and its role in the development of attention, learning and behavior. This course will create a paradigm shift and give participants a "new lens" with which they can assess clients. Participants will learn to assess the subtle motor and sensory deficits that may be contributing to attention, motor and behavioral challenges, and most importantly, will learn concrete strategies and treatment techniques to apply immediately. Patient Population: Autism, PDD, Developmental Delays, Sensory Processing Disorders and ADHD Infancy through Adult.
