DESCRIPTION
Core concepts of Ayres Sensory Integration theory and practice are shared with an emphasis on clinical reasoning and neuroscience, with case-specific application. This format offers insight for clinical practice and inspiration to fuel professional engagement. We will examine the concepts of Sensory Modulation, Posture and Praxis, and offer contemporary perspectives on practice that is often misunderstood in an era of cognitively oriented interventions.
OBJECTIVES
- Deepen their understanding of the Ayres Sensory Integration
- Be able to describe the neurological underpinnings of sensory modulation, praxis and posture
- Ground clinical practice in clinical reasoning with a focus on adaptive child outcomes
- Apply knowledge to individual cases for ready use in daily practice
