OTR 613 - Sensory Processing Disorder

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Occupational Therapy

Description:

This course looks at sensory processing disorders (SPD), which includes sensory modulation challenges, sensory discrimination challenges, and sensory-based motor challenges. Sensory modulation challenges include sensory defensiveness and sensory under-responsiveness. Discussion of sensory-based motor challenges includes dyspraxia (motor planning difficulties) and sensory discrimination challenges that form the basis for the Sensory Integration (SI) frame of reference (FOR). The course includes presentation of the development of theories that explain SPD and the SI FOR, and the evidenced base that supports the development and use of assessments and treatment strategies. While this course is mainly aimed at occupational therapy students, others who work with children or in mental health may attend with permission.
