Course Description
Participants in this new program from AOTA will examine the core concepts of sensory processing based on Dunn’s Model of Sensory Processing. The course explores the similarities and differences between this approach and other sensory based approaches, examines how to implement the occupational therapy process, and reviews evidence to determine how to create best practice assessment and intervention methods. With school as a major context for children, applications within school-based practice will also be discussed and several case studies will be examined to practice implementation within everyday lives of children. In addition, the course looks at the knowledge and practice issues on the horizon as occupational therapy approaches that employ sensory processing concepts are refined.
