Sensory Integration from Susan B. Young
More information about Medical:
Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.
Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
Outline:
Neurological Foundations of Sensory Integration
- Primary sensory systems in SI
- Receptors, neurological tracts and brain locations of sensory systems
- How is each system stimulated?
- Types of sensory integration dysfunction associated with each system
Clinical Observation and Interviews for Assessment
- Analyze case studies using a sensory integration frame of reference vs developmental or motor
- Distinguish between sensory-based and nonsensory-based behaviors
- Clustering observations of behavior into sensory processing categories
Develop Interview Questions
- Formulate questions for parents/teachers to gain sensory information
- Formulate questions related to participation in everyday life
- Clustering responses into “diagnostic groups”
Documentation for Maximum Reimbursement and Access to Services
- Write goals and objectives which enable access to services in schools and clinics
- Document progress in functional terms
- Write appropriate evaluation, progress and discharge reports
Design treatment sessions based on Ayres SI principles
- Analyze sensory aspects of therapy equipment
- Modify activities to match needs of the child
- Sensory diets for use at home and school
- Sensory stories – enhance child’s participation in daily activities
Description:
Many of the children we work with are unable to take tests which require a good attention span and the ability to follow directions. These children may have ADD, ADHD or ASD. However, we need to be able to identify those deficits which are interfering with their ability to learn at school, participate in family activities and promote friendships.
Today you will expand your knowledge of sensory processing activities, and enhance your effectiveness to work with these children!
You will learn to identify which deficits have a sensory integration foundation, and thus be able to use treatment techniques to improve the quality of life for the kids you work with every day! In this workshop, I will teach you: how to identify behaviors which are sensory, determine underlying sensory systems which may be contributing to these behaviors, plan treatment strategies to help them more fully participate in school, community and home activities, and practice documenting your services.
