Sensory 101

It is well accepted that disordered sensory processing has profound impacts on development, mental health, and daily function. But the story goes deeper than that. With eight recognized sensory systems and 13 known subtypes of disordered sensory processing, the permutations are mind boggling! This short (1 ½ hour), introductory level course will describe each system, each subtype, and how these presentations are expressed in children and adults. It will also discuss the role and implication of disordered sensory processing as a co-occurring condition with other common developmental and mental health diagnoses (eg Autism, ADHD, anxiety, etc.). The bi-directional nature of sensory processing, regulation, and relationship will also be discussed as a context for intervention approaches.

Relationship 101

Attachment and relationships are inherently sensory processes. Attachment has been described as one of the most important constructs related to human well-being and childhood attachment, and it is a proven predictor of health in later life. But why does it matter to occupational therapists and what is it really?

This short course will provide an overview of:

Relational health and attachment theory
The impact of attachment on occupational well-being
Building and nurturing therapeutic relationships with clients and parents
Enhancing occupational outcomes through attachment-informed interventions
Integrating attachment theory into sensory integration therapy
