Description

This is a short course to help parents learn the signs and symptoms of sensory processing disorder (SPD). A basic background on occupational therapy, sensory processing function and dysfunction and everyday examples of everyday behaviours often seen in sensory processing disorder. The course should take approximately 1 hour to complete and will be supplemented with suggested readings and case examples. If you are looking for more information about SPD and the signs often associated with it-this is the course for you. I am a parent, occupational therapist, assistant professor and sensory trained assessor- I want you to know what to look for so that you can seek the help you need at the right time.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is meant to be an introduction for parents, caregivers and those who would like to know more about sensory processing disorder and spot the major signs or behaviours. This course does not evaluate the evidence or literature on the subject, but presents a summary of the major signs and symptoms. Intermediate and expert learners in the field are not good candidates.
  • Parents & caregivers who may be excluded from more traditional trainings and those looking for straight-forward examples of signs of sensory issues.
