Description: Today’s parents are more actively engaged in their children’s lives than previous generations. The thousands of books on parenting and easy availability of Internet resources often overwhelm parents of children with sensory processing challenges. As occupational therapists our role is to direct parents to resources and information that will best support the family system as a whole and the work we do clinically. This webinar will discuss how to support the parent-child relationship with an emphasis on supporting parents. It will explore the “when” and “how” to recommend mental health and parenting resources when parents need additional support. Emphasis will be on supports for parents of children with emotional regulation difficulties. This webinar will also introduce the listener to several mental health intervention models that complement Ayres Sensory Integration® (ASI) intervention.
