Featuring: Margaret “Peg” Ingolia, MS, OTR/L

 

Monday, June 29, 2015

School and residential settings present unique challenges for therapists treating children and adolescents. These challenges can be further compounded by the particular needs of clients with trauma and mental health concerns. This LiveTalk will address sensory integration-based treatment strategies for this population as well as how to implement interventions in residential and school settings. 

Learning Objectives
By the end of this LiveTalk the participant will be able to:

  1. Describe the unique needs and characteristics of children and youth who have experienced trauma.
  2. Identify at least 4 sensory-based intervention strategies for addressing trauma in the residential and school setting.
  3. Describe the unique challenges of using and implementing a sensory based approach to trauma in residential and school settings.

The Adult/Adolescent Sensory History is available now!

The culmination of years of research and work, the Adult/Adolescent Sensory History, is designed as a self-report assessment of sensory and motor behaviors commonly observed in individuals with difficulties processing and integrating sensory information. The purpose of this assessment is to help identify adults and adolescents ages 13 to 95 who experience problems in sensory processing and integration as well as assist therapists in clinical reasoning when creating interventions for these individuals. Based on the conceptual model of sensory processing and sensory integration proposed by A. Jean Ayres, this measure is designed to identify difficulties in five key areas of functioning: Sensory Discrimination, Sensory Modulation, Postural-Ocular Skills, Praxis, and Social-Emotional Functioning.
