Need an updated sensory diet framework that works?
Neurologically diverse children growing up in a screen-based world struggle with self-regulation, attention, focus, and sustained participation in activity demands at baseline. The research shows these difficulties are exacerbated by the effects of screen time on the developing brain. As an occupational therapist or physical therapist working in schools, interventions need to be accessible, dynamic, and targeted to maximize outcomes. This course “Body Activated Learning:™ A New Framework for Sensory Diets and Treatment Planning for Kids Living in a Screen-Based World” will introduce you to a new framework for intervention. It will provide you with treatment progressions for session planning and templates for redesigning sensory diets. With this model, you will be able to improve team collaboration and cross-training while better addressing the complex needs of this generation of learners.
Your registration includes Aubrey’s E-Book with videos and supplemental downloads for planning and the Expansion Activity Book! A 30$ value!
