More effectively treat children and adolescents with complex behavioral, sensory integration, TBI, Autism Spectrum (DSM-V-TR associated diagnoses), cognitive limitations, PTSD, and other developmental challenge susing a new approach synthesizing behavioral, sensory integration, handling, mindfulness, activity, music, and developmental strategies. This hands-on lab course emphasizes practical evidence-based techniques integrating Positive Behavioral Support, Mindfulness, Therapeutic Movement, NDT, Neuropsychology, Sensory Integration, and sensory massage. Participants are armed with ready-to-go techniques and consulting skills to help children who have behavioral problems, developmental disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorders, trauma histories, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder,Conduct Disorder, and major psychiatric illnesses. All participants receive reproducible copies of the recently published FAB Activity Strategies, Pressure Touch Program, Environmental Adaptations, Triggers & Coping Forms, and Oral Sensory Strategies and will learn to use them to develop individualized activity, environmental adaptation, and intervention strategies for home and school use. Emphasis will be placed on implementing new transdisciplinary interventions and advancing your consultation skills with educators, parents, mental health therapists, physicians, and fellow therapists. This course is designed for occupational, speech, physical, and mental health therapists as well as special educators, psychiatrists, and other professionals seeking to improve functional outcomes with children 3 to 21 years old.

Participants will be able to apply course learning immediately to:

Assess and differentiate sensory integration and behavioral problems in infants, children, and adolescents.

Apply the assessment of sensory integration and behavioral problems to develop objective goals and apply appropriate intervention strategies (both contextual and direct) addressing each child’s individual behavioral and/or sensory integration challenges.

Train teachers and therapists to effectively combine practical sensory integration, mindfulness, trauma informed, and behavioral strategies.

Use the FAB Trigger and Coping Forms to identify the most problematic environmental and body triggers for each child and the most effective coping strategies to promote self-regulation.

Implement advanced strategies for managing sensory integration and behavior problems (e.g., inattention, interrupting, screaming, swearing, kicking, biting, and hitting) during individual and group treatment sessions.

Learn to quickly develop home programs using the included forms (FAB: Activity Strategies to Promote Self-control, Pressure Touch, Environmental Adaptation, and Oral Sensory Strategies) for follow-up intervention across the child’s school, OPD, hospital and home settings.
