Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) affects nearly 16% of school-aged kids in the U.S.. Shockingly, in children with autism, the prevalence rate skyrockets to 75% to 90%. Although this condition affects tens of millions of children around the world, there is a scarcity of healthcare professionals with the expertise to effectively treat this condition.
Special Learning is proud to announce that we are launching a Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) training series. In partnership with Angela Sallerson, OTR/L, and SIPT-certified Ready Approach therapist, our live training webinars will be delivered in conjunction with experts from other disciplines, including behavior analysis and speech, to provide a broader perspective and a person-centered, integrated service delivery model designed to achieve the best outcomes in an efficient and effective manner.
In our introductory training, "ABCs of Sensory Processing Disorder: Where Do I Start?" Angela Sallerson, OTR/L, and Amanda Fishley, BCBA will provide students with a foundational knowledge of sensory processing. The training will introduce students to the Ready Approach, an effective methodology created by Bonnie Hanschu, an intervention framework that incorporates sensory strategies throughout the day to generate better outcomes.
Using a scenario-based format, we will review common sensory-related behaviors from a behavior analytic and an OT perspective to discuss a blended-model approach.
