Description: This presentation will focus on goal oriented treatment of children who struggle with sensory integration and mental health issues. We will discuss treatment strategies to help children regulate themselves by using sensory interventions. Addressing self-regulation in children requires therapists to have a self-regulatory framework that guides treatment. This framework includes the intentional awareness of the therapist’s experience in the treatment room. This webinar will provide strategies and tools for working effectively from a sensory integration and mental health perspective.
