Webinars are video presentations and include the recorded PowerPoint and lecture and a .pdf copy of the PowerPoint notes.
Description: When caregivers seek out occupational therapy services for their child, they often want to know a prognosis for their child’s challenges. They also often want to understand how their child will behave and present as an adolescent and adult. As practitioners, it is important to educate caregivers on expected outcomes of therapy, and due to a gap in the literature, there is no evidence-based conclusion regarding long-term outcomes for individuals with sensory processing challenges. This webinar will review the current literature on sensory processing in adults and follow-up studies with children along with a discussion of the strengths and limitations of the research. Preliminary findings and clinical implications of a current qualitative study examining long term outcomes in adults who received occupational treatment and/or evaluation as children will also be presented.
