What is Sensory Processing Disorder? How can professionals fine-tune their skills to effectively support children (through middle school age) with this type of neurological and behavioral profile? This workshop will examine the nature of Sensory Processing Disorder, formerly known as Sensory Integration Dysfunction. It will review the most current research findings on causation and recommended educational strategies. Through experiential learning, participants will gain an understanding of their own sensory profiles and brainstorm problem-solving using fictional case studies and professional/personal examples. Discussion will concentrate on use of a strengths approach instead of a disability perspective in work with children with SPD. The program will also identify helpful resources for both professionals and families.
