PART 3
This workshop continues as part 2 of a three part series looking at the underlying factors of poor self-regulation and how they affect the child. The course emphasizes practical interventions and effective strategies for creating simple but effective programs in clinical, school and home settings. Clinical programs such as Interactive Metronome (IM), brushing, sensory diets, and MeMovesTM will be discussed, as will timely topics such as medication vs. non-medication for ADHD and new insights from research into biomedical aspects of autism.
Presented by:
Maria Slavin, MS, OTR/L, has over 15 years of experience as an occupational therapist providing social skills therapy and individual sensory processing/fine motor therapy to children and adults with behavioral health diagnoses such as autism, ADHD and anxiety disorders. She spent the last 8 years specializing in social skills and self-regulation. Ms. Slavin has worked with children and families across a variety of OT settings including early intervention, hospital, school and private practice. She is the founder and president of In-Sync and Social, LLC, an occupational therapy-based social skills program for children and adults with behavioral health diagnoses who often exhibit sensory systems that are imbalanced or not ‘in-sync”.
As a result of this interactive workshop, participants will be able to:
- Communicate characteristics of sensory modulation disorder, ADHD and autism and how they overlap
- Modify specific treatments for SPD that can be duplicated at school or home
- Design a sensory lifestyle program using readily-found items.
- Determine elements of successful first-person stories and transitional activities
