Sensory Processing & Neurology in Pediatrics: A Self-Assessment Approach
Self Paced
2 Contact Hour, 0.25 CEUs
This self-paced, video course invites occupational therapy practitioners to reflect on their own experiences with self-regulation, modulation, and sensory processing to enhance their ability to assess and support pediatric clients in everyday functional activities. Participants will explore how nervous system function, trauma, disability, and physiological factors influence the ability of individuals o maintain regulation and achieve homeostasis.
The course will also emphasize the importance of considering pediatric clients' diverse cultural backgrounds and personal experiences during assessment. Collaboration with caregivers and schools will be highlighted as crucial for evaluation and treatment, with a focus on understanding each pediatric client's unique “story” to provide context for behaviors related to neurological and sensory processing.
