2015 LiveTalk Series:
Sensory Integration and PTSD in Veterans
Featuring:
Judith G. Kimball, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA
Monday January 26, 2015
7:00pm - 8:00pm EST
The Spiral Foundation is excited to announce our 2015 LiveTalk Series:
Sensory Integration and Mental Health Concerns
This year’s 2015 LiveTalk Series will be focused on how mental health concerns and sensory integration and sensory processing problems interface in children, adolescents and adults. We will be offering you a wealth of knowledge on a variety of topics ranging from attachment disorders, adoption, trauma, and others from experts in the field of mental health.
We kick off our series talking about post-traumatic stress disorder, with an emphasis on the occupational therapists’ role with our veterans. Post-traumatic stress disorder interferes with daily life roles including sleep, attention, and quality of life both immediately after traumatic events and for extended periods afterwards. Understanding how PTSD relates to sensory processing and how sensory-based interventions can facilitate performance in individuals with PTSD is important information for anyone working with individuals who have experienced trauma.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this LiveTalk the participant will be able to:
- Identify three characteristics of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
- List three examples of sensory processing problems experienced by veterans with PTSD
- Identify two sensory-based strategies for facilitating performance in individuals with PTSD
Judith G. Kimball, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA is founding Director and Professor in the Occupational Therapy Program at the University of New Englan's Westbrook College of Health Professions. Her research, writing, and clinical work centers on sensory processing disorders and craniosacral therapy. In 2014 she and Amy Kimball-Carpenter presented a two-part online conference to OTs in the Veterans Affairs community introducing the possibility that Sensory Modulation Challenges are undiagnosed part of the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and mild Traumatic Brain Injury.
