Basics of Sensory Processing and Sensory Integration Intervention

Dominique Kiefer, OTD, OTR/L, BCP

Course abstract:

This introductory course explores sensory processing and sensory integration and their influence on children’s play, learning, self-regulation, and participation in everyday activities. Participants will learn about the sensory systems, common patterns of sensory integration and processing difficulties, and how these challenges may present at home, in school, and in clinical settings. The course will introduce principles of sensory integration intervention, clarify distinctions between Ayres Sensory Integration® intervention and sensory tools and strategies, and discuss practical ways to support participation.

Course Objectives:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to describe the sensory systems and explain how sensory processing and integration support everyday participation. Participants will identify common signs of sensory integration and processing difficulties and recognize how they may affect motor skills, behavior, and self-regulation. They will also distinguish Ayres Sensory Integration® intervention from sensory tools and strategies and identify individualized supports and appropriate reasons for referral.
