Making Sense of Sensory Processing Disorders

Imagine that you are a parent or teacher of a child with no typical signs of a

disability but you just know something is wrong. The child overreacts when there

is a fire drill, another child bumps him unexpectedly, or the tag in his shirt

touches his neck; or he under-responds by ignoring people talking to him or can

spin without getting dizzy. He might put his hands over his ears during choir

class, require hours of jumping on a trampoline to feel calm or need intense

sensory input to improve body awareness. Sensory processing disorder is a

complex neurological disorder that some experts say affects at least one out of

every 20 people in this country. Sensations of taste, smell, touch, vision,

sound, movement, and body awareness are all processed differently in someone

with this disorder. There is great hope for these individuals. Come learn about

cutting-edge therapies that will help them more fully live their lives! Taught

by an OT with 13 years of experience treating individuals with SPD. Price listed

is for course only. Social workers, nurses, OTs, and teachers may elect to

receive a certificate of completion with hours/CEUs for an extra $10 fee. This

course is not approved for psychologists' continuing education hours. CEUs: 0.60 Hours: 6.00
