About this Course

Course Description

Sensory vs. Behavior asks the question: is any given behavior stemming from a sensory integration issue - or from behavioral difficulties? Parents and therapists will walk away understanding how their children and clients need to be treated.

Parents and practitioners will learn the components of sensory processing disorder, differentiate behaviors that may be resulting from sensory processing disorder, and distinguish neurochemical imbalances that may impact behaviors and regulation difficulties.

You will learn how to screen if the underlying cause of behavior is from a sensory processing disorder utilizing the Analysis of Sensory Behavior Inventory, and be able to plan treatment programs in accordance.
