2019 Webinar Series:
What’s the Prognosis?: Current State of Research on Long-Term Outcomes for Children with SPD
Presented by:
Annie Poole, OT/S
Thursday, August 15, 2019
12:00pm - 1:30pm EST
When caregivers seek out occupational therapy services for their child, they often want to know a prognosis for their child’s challenges. They also often want to understand how their child will behave and present as an adolescent and adult. As practitioners, it is important to educate caregivers on expected outcomes of therapy, and due to a gap in the literature, there is no evidence-based conclusion regarding long-term outcomes for individuals with sensory processing challenges. This webinar will review the current literature on sensory processing in adults and follow-up studies with children along with a discussion of the strengths and limitations of the research. Preliminary findings and clinical implications of a current qualitative study examining long term outcomes in adults who received occupational treatment and/or evaluation as children will also be presented.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar participants will be able to:
- Describe two strengths and two limitations of research on long-term outcomes of sensory processing challenges in children.
- List three areas of function in adults that are impacted by sensory processing and integration challenges.
- Identify two long term outcomes of sensory processing and integration challenges identified by adults who had sensory processing challenges as children.

She is completing her capstone project at OTA The Koomar Center and the Spiral Foundation, learning clinical skills as well as conducting research. Her research at the Spiral Foundation is focused on understanding the long-term outcomes for children with sensory processing challenges through speaking with adults who received occupational therapy evaluation and/or treatment for sensory processing challenges as children.
