Abstract:

 

This institute presented at the 2015 AOTA Annual Conference and Expo is delivered in eight short segments and advances practice and research for children with Sensory Processing Disorder. A novel treatment approach is presented that is family focused, relationship and regulation based, and addresses outcomes related to improved participation in daily life. Research methods discussed focuses on the use of single subject designs compared to randomized controlled trials. These key areas are examined: an overview of SPD; validity of diagnosis; identification and synthesis of assessment findings; treatment using the STAR Treatment Model; research related to SPD treatment reflective supervision; and application to school-based practice.

4. Explain the importance of mentoring and reflective supervision for professional growth and development.

 

5. Identify best practice school-based occupational therapy intervention including educationally relevant treatment implementation in the least restrictive environment for individuals with SPD.
