Clinical Reasoning for Vestibular Dysfunction in Sensory Integration
This live talk will discuss the clinical reasoning behind interpretation of assessment data and determination of why, what, when, and how to treat vestibular dysfunctions such as vestibular hyper-responsivity, gravitational insecurity, and vestibular discrimination problems.
A Personal Perspective on the Art of Sensory Integration Intervention
In this special video occupational therapist and Spiral Foundation co-founder Dr. Jane Koomar discusses her thoughts on the art of sensory integration intervention, discussing topics such as developing therapeutic intentions, joining with children, creating safe spaces for bonding, using language to facilitate children’s performance, holding hope and promoting joy, and creating new stories for children’s lives.
How Visual, Vestibular and Proprioceptive Integration Influence our Behavior and Learning
This paper describes the influence of visual, vestibular and proprioceptive integration on adaptive behavior and learning.
Exploring the International Board on Books for Young People’s Selection of Outstanding Books for Children with Special Needs
