The Roadmap to a Comprehensive Sensory Assessment

The Roadmap to a Comprehensive Sensory Assessment will provide knowledge, understanding, and application of sensory integration theory, with an emphasis on the Ayres SI® frame of reference to support a child’s participation in expected daily school and home routines, activities, and occupations. This begins with a comprehensive sensory assessment. You will learn to effectively perform a comprehensive assessment to drive successful sensory integration interventions. This course is appropriate for those occupational therapists working with children in the school, home, and clinical settings. This course is recommended to be taken with Developing "Just Right" Sensory Integration Interventions, an AOTA-approved course. (You save 20% when bundling both courses)

Bonus resources: Evidence-based printable resources, research and literature, Skilled Clinical Sensory Observation Form, and FREE 75+ page 4th Edition Sensory Assessment Digital Binder.

1. Demonstrate basic sensory integration principles, typical and atypical sensory functioning, and the effects on occupational performance.

2. Organize pertinent information on a child’s sensory functioning, such as sensory history, developmental milestones, barriers to occupational performance, and environmental context to compose an appropriate occupational profile.

3. Demonstrate the clinical reasoning skills and ability to synthesize information about the occupational profile that will drive the selection of tasks, assessments, and clinical observations to measure the quality of occupational performance.

4. Demonstrate the ability to select specific formal sensory assessments to measure performance quality and effectiveness of skills and patterns when participating in occupations.

5. Demonstrate the ability to select specific clinical observations to measure the quality of performance and effectiveness of skills and patterns when participating in occupations.

6. Interpret and analyze assessment data to identify sensory occupational performance strengths, deficits,and environmental barriers.

7. Develop the desired outcome of interventions, establish appropriate measurable goals, and determine progress monitoring procedures.
