Supporting the Social Emotional Needs of Children in SI Intervention
Presented by:
Susanne Smith Roley, OTD, OTR/L, FAOTA
Monday November 3, 2014
7:00pm - 8:00pm EST
To master the art of sensory integration intervention the therapist must not only engage a child in purposeful therapeutic activities, but also remain ever cognizant of the child’s social-emotional state and needs. This LiveTalk will address how to recognize and meet those needs, as well as how to orchestrate SI intervention sessions that develop a therapeutic alliance with the child and create a ‘Just Right’ challenge.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course the participant will be able to:
- Identify two components of sensory integration intervention that support children’s social emotional needs.
- Identify three strategies for supporting a child’s social emotional needs.
- Identify specific strategies for creating a "Just Right" challenge.
