intensive workshop for therapists
During this workshop, participants will learn the essential elements of Ayres Sensory Integration® and the contribution of sensory integration to early development including state regulation, perception, motor skills, and praxis. Accurate and comfortable sensory integration lays a foundation for perception and action that is pivotal throughout development, beginning with state regulation and progressing towards mastery of a myriad of life skills. Through video analysis and case discussions, participants will learn to systematically analyze sensory functions and analyze assessment findings for the purpose of communicating with parents and providing effective interventions.
February 8th (Day 1) is an introductory workshop open to those interested in learning the foundations of Ayres Sensory Integration® and supporting infant and child development. Early childhood educators, parents and professionals are welcome to attend.
February 9th-10th (Day 2-3) are designed for therapy professionals interested in research and evidence-based practice using sensory integration theory and methods for children ages 0-3 years. ** This 2-day intensive is geared towards OTs, PTs, and SLPs. A knowledge base in sensory integration is encouraged but not necessary!
Upon completion of 1-Day introductory workshop, the participant will be able to:
1. Name 5 early functions that require sensory integration to develop
2. Identify the primary contribution of each sensory system to developmental milestones
3. Understand the impact of sensory integrative dysfunction on the mental and physical health of caregivers/parents
4. List sensory regulatory strategies that parents and other caregivers can employ for their infants and young children
Upon completion of 2-Day assessment and intervention intensive **, the therapist will be able to:
1. Analyze, interpret, and describe the symptoms of atypical development relative to the patterns of sensory integrative dysfunction in infants and young children with and without additional diagnoses
2. Plan and implement therapeutic interventions for infants and young children with sensory integrative dysfunction
3. Receive information supported by evidence and current research
