Sensory Integration & Self Regulation in Early Intervention


8/17/2012 9:00am - 8/18/2012 5:00pm

Sensory Integration and Self-Regulation in Early Intervention and Preschool

Seminar Brochure

August 17 -18, 2012

Course Description:

This workshop is designed to integrate current thinking about sensory integration with ideas of behavioral organization and family centered care for the young child. Participants will learn a new framework for understanding individual differences in sensory-based self regulation based on sensory integration theory. How this model can be integrated across discipline boundaries to help foster goodness-of-fit during play and therapeutic interactions will be highlighted. Clinical reasoning and intervention with different types of sensory integration problems will be focused on, and applicable, to children of all ages.

Course Objectives:

By the end of session, participants should be able to:

1. Describe sensory contributions to self and mutual regulation of arousal, attention, affect, and action of young children.

2. Recognize child behaviors indicative of different types of sensory integrative deficits and individual differences.

3. Identify ways to integrate understanding of sensory integration into referral recommendations and creating goodness of fit in physical environments and in interactions.

4. Identify ways to help parents and other caregivers to understand and create goodness-of-fit with each child’s unique sensory requirements in the context of relationships.

5. Integrate sensory integration understanding of individual differences into discipline specific therapeutic interactions with children and families.
