Webinars are video presentations and include the recorded PowerPoint and lecture and a .pdf copy of the PowerPoint notes.
Description: Working with clients that are transitioning into adulthood can be challenging, especially those clients with sensory processing challenges. Whether directly or indirectly involved with the actual transition process, it is important for clinicians working with these clients to have an understanding of the process involved in transitioning to adulthood as well as be able to identify how sensory challenges may influence this process. This webinar will review Transition law, Transition as part of the IEP process (assessment, goal writing, and treatment planning), Best Practices for OT in addressing Transition, and an introduction to Transition I and II (curricula for middle school life skill and self-determination groups). The emphasis of the presentation will be on using interdisciplinary groups, employing self-determination & self-regulation skills, mastering skills beyond the school day, and training staff in encouraging skill independence. Specific adaptations for those with sensory challenges will also be discussed.
