Cari Ebert – Sensory Integration & Speech Delays

Course Description

Young children with special needs will benefit when practitioners work together as a cohesive unit to assess andtreat the whole child. This transdisciplinary team approach requires pediatric therapists and educators to understand and synthesize knowledge from the fields of speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and education. Understanding that sensory input drives motor andbehavioral output provides the foundation for this course. The way young children take in and respond to sensory information can significantly impact their learning, development and behavior.

The one day interactive course will teach and inspire pediatric therapists and other early childhood professionals to further their positive impact of childhood development.Participants will gain confidence and competence by increasing their knowledge related to the impact of sensorimotor issues on speech, language and social development. This course will provide an overview of the external and internal sensory systems along with observable characteristics of sensory over-responsivity, sensory under-responsivity and sensory craving behaviors. Participants will examine the benefits of using a multisensory therapy approach to help young children interact more effectively with their environment.

Highlights

• Differentiating and connecting between sensorimotorissues, behaviors, and speech and language development
• Develop a new framework for problem solving using a multisensory approach in therapy
• Immediately improve functional outcomes in therapy by helping each of your clients achieve a “ready state for learning”
• Discover practical strategies for supporting the dysregulated child in therapy at home and in the classroom
• Case studies and interactive group activities that help you integrate the information presented into reallife situations

Learning Objectives

1. Define how sensorimotor issues impact speech and language development.
2. Compare and contrast how sensory over-responsivity,sensory under-responsivity, and sensory-seeking behaviors impact learning, development, and behavior.
3. Utilize case studies to identify the sensory explanationbehind challenging behaviors.
4. Implement a multisensory therapy approach to improve sensory integration in children with severe and persistent speech sound disorders.
5. Integrate sensorimotor strategies into pediatric therapysessions and early childhood classrooms to improve school performance and reach defined developmental goals.
6. Explain how organization of the environment can influence the young child’s attention and ability to learn.
7. Classify the five functions of behavior to define the key differences between a behavioral tantrum and a sensory meltdown.
