Effective Interprofessional Treatment for Sensory Processing Disorder in Children

63

Course Overview
Comprehensive care is essential for strong health outcomes across the lifespan. With more early detection efforts and greater awareness, conditions such as sensory processing disorder (SPD) are becoming more manageable for children and parents alike. This is due in large part to the efforts of various rehabilitation professionals, including occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and behavior therapists. All providers should be aware of best practices to effectively evaluate sensory concerns, provide sensory integration treatment, and train/educate parents and teachers.

Learning Outcomes 
Upon the completion of this course, the learner should be able to:

  • Analyze the factors impacting the diagnosis and reimbursement of SPD.
  • Categorize the various signs that point toward a certain sensory presentation.
  • Assess what areas of education can be given to parents and caregivers of clients with SPD to improve functional and occupational participation.
  • Assess the advantages and drawbacks associated with self-report and functional sensory assessments.
