This two-day continuing education course provides clinicians with a structured framework to guide assessment, intervention, and ongoing reassessment within varied clinical settings. Participants will learn to organize and sequence treatment planning using the SensoryWellness approach, emphasizing reflex integration, sensory processing strategies, and manual therapy techniques. This workshop will support the development of advanced clinical reasoning by offering a systematic method to determine where to begin intervention and how to effectively layer multiple strategies based on individual client needs. The SensoryWellness principles presented are broadly applicable to clients of all ages, diagnoses, and reasons for referral. Emphasis will be placed on improving self-regulation abilities in various populations, with strategies to support regulation woven throughout the framework. Instruction will include detailed theoretical foundations and practical application, organized into easy-to-remember categories that enhance treatment planning and support outcome monitoring. Multiple hands-on labs will allow participants to practice applying these concepts to both assessment and intervention planning. Particular focus will be placed on how and when to integrate various modalities within a cohesive treatment framework.
