The training led by Rebecca Duvall Scott and Hannah Ragan includes:
- Discussion of what sensory processing disorder is and the ways it presents in children
- How SPD may present differently based on other factors including addiction, attachment disorder, post-traumatic stress and parentified children
- Ideas about how to accommodate sensory needs and the importance of advocating for evaluation by an occupational therapist
The presenter’s will also discuss their book, “Sensational Kids, Sensational Families: Hope for Sensory Processing Differences” and explain why they are helping to raise awareness about SPD. The training will conclude with an open discussion session, when participants can ask questions and drive the discussion.
This training is worth two hours of continuing education credit for CASA of Lexington volunteers.
