The comprehensive seminar focuses on Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), a problem that affects at least 5-16% of children. Often, SPD is misdiagnosed as ADHD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, or Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Even more common, SPD is not diagnosed as a disorder at all… instead the child’s issues are attributed to “bad behavior,” “poor motivation,” or “social-emotional problems.” This workshop will review screening and assessment of SPD as well as focus on differentiating the six subtypes of SPD. The presentation will highlight videotaped examples of direct treatment. In addition, evidence-based research related to SPD will be reviewed, including studies completed by the SPD Foundation and the SPD Scientific Work Group. There will be a brief review of published peer review studies by the Sensory Processing Disorder Foundation.
