Sensory Processing Disorder: Practical Solutions that Work – Rondalyn Varney Whitney

Join Rondalyn Varney Whitney for this one-day, seminar recording. Rondalyn will teach you how the foundation of our seven senses helps children adapt and respond to the environment around them and how poor processing affects them in all aspects of their lives. Furthermore, you will learn how to use a sensory diet effectively and how to measure functional change using a sensory integrative approach.

Upon completion of seminar recording, you will:

• learn how to use sensory techniques in many different environments
• be able to identify behaviors
• learn how to use sensory strategies to support family quality of life
• recognize when a child needs a referral for occupational therapy
• discover the new categories of sensory processing outlined in the DSM-5®
• acquire a common language and terms to describe SPD

1. What should I do when a child is having trouble sitting in a chair?
2. How do I use sensory based interventions?
3. How do I know if my interventions are following theory?
4. How can I use sensory integration techniques across the lifespan?
5. What can I do to help children who have to touch and handle everything?
