This practical, one-day webinar will provide a theoretical overview of sensory processing disorder from both a neurological perspective as well an understanding its presentation and treatment. Participants will explore each of the sensory systems and their impact on reflexes, function, movement, and learning. Specific reflexes related to the sensory systems will be explored and demonstrated including how to test for several of them as well as specific integration techniques.

Participants will leave with a clear understanding of the three subtypes of Sensory Processing Disorder and how they manifest themselves as well as treatment ideas and strategies to implement immediately. They will also gain a basic understanding of primitive reflexes, their role in development and function as well as their connection to Sensory Processing. This course is jam-packed with practical techniques, come ready to learn and ready to take your expertise to the next level!

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this seminar the participant will be able to:
1. Identify the three main subtypes of Sensory Processing Disorder and list 3 of the primary characteristics of each subtype.
2. Explain the difference between a sensory craver and a child who is hyposensitive to a certain sense.
3. Explain three ways sensory systems, reflexes and primitive patterns are related to one another.
4. List five new treatment ideas for sensory treatment and reflex integration through play.
5. Explain how to test for 3 reflexes and how to integrate those reflexes
6. List 3 identifying signs of how you know when a certain reflex needs integration
