Description:
In today's demanding and cost conscious market,
therapists are increasingly required to demonstrate the
efficacy of the interventions they use and the practice
of sensory integration is no exception. This course will
address this important need. The ability to provide evidenced-based
practice is crucial for today's therapists. This
course will provide therapists with key research to support
the theory and practice of sensory integration. Evidence
for the key points of the sensory integration frame of
reference will be provided. The key concepts of sensory
integration intervention will be presented and research
on the effectiveness of SI intervention will be examined
and critiqued. Information will be presented in a clear,
ready to use format through lecture, handouts, and case
studies. Ample resources will be provided.
