Description

Disorders of sensory processing are common for children with ADHD or autism and can complicate treatment and impact quality of life. Children who have trouble self regulating throughout the day can miss out on typical childhood experiences in school, on the playground and with their families. They have difficulty making and keeping friends.

In this recording, Kathryne Cammisa, MHE, OTR/L, teaches you the underlying neurological and environmental factors that reduce a child’s ability to self-regulate and interact with their environment. This workshop emphasizes the newest research, practical interventions and provides details on how to create simple, yet effective programs in clinical, school and home settings:

  • Strategies guided by Ayres’ Sensory Integrative Theory
  • Activities to help individuals develop self-management
  • Understanding the importance of a rich sensory lifestyle
  • Using personal narratives to promote positive outcomes
  • Energy regulation techniques
  • Communication methods and use of self
  • Transition strategies
  • Behavioral Strategies
