Summary

• Archive: Faculty:Susan B. YoungDuration:5 Hours 46 MinutesFormat:Audio and VideoCopyright:Apr 11, 2018 Description Many of the children we work with are unable to take tests which require a good attention span and the ability to follow directions.

• These children may have ADD, ADHD or ASD.

• However, we need to be able to identify those deficits which are interfering with their ability to learn at school, participate in family activities and promote friendships.Today you will expand your knowledge of sensory processing activities, and enhance your effectiveness to work with these children!You will learn to identify which deficits have a sensory integration foundation, and thus be able to use treatment techniques to improve the quality of life for the kids you work with every day!

• In this workshop, I will teach you: how to identify behaviors which are sensory, determine underlying sensory systems which may be contributing to these behaviors, plan treatment strategies to help them more fully participate in school, community and home activities, and practice documenting your services.
