Dear All,

This is to inform you that, we are organizing “Comprehensive Program in Sensory Integration offered by University of Southern California /Western Psychological Services, USA”  

The University of Southern California Department of Occupational Science and Therapy together with Western Psychological Services presents this training program in sensory integration consisting of four 5-day courses.

Presented by eminent occupational therapists who are experts in Sensory Integration Theory and Practice, this four-course series offers the most thorough and practical sensory integration training in the world. It covers sensory integration theory, assessment, interpretation, and intervention. Based on scientific evidence and clinical reasoning, course content teaches participants how to apply sensory integration principles in multiple settings to treat various problems, including learning and behavior disorders, attention deficits, autism, Asperger's Syndrome, and developmental delays.

Course I: The Sensory Integration Perspective

May 28 through June 1, 2007,                      Instructed by: Susanne Smith Roley

The "Perspective" course provides both an overview of sensory integration and in-depth information on its theoretical foundations, basic science supporting the theory, and implications for practice. It examines the functional contributions of individual sensory systems, praxis, and their impact on everyday activities. This information is used to identify deviations from typical sensory integration and praxis abilities, and to provide insight into methods used in sensory integration intervention.

Course I is open to all who wish to attend.

• Identify the different sensory systems and their contributions to daily life
