GOT90 Bitesized CPD for paediatric occupational therapists

GOT90: Success with Sensory Supports/Strategies at Home and School for OTs

The success with sensory supports series will explore practical application of sensory supports.   All workshops run for 90 minutes and are live online with days access to the recording after the event.

Kim’s sensory series aims to demystify the world of sensory supports.  Over six sessions, Kim will explore the world of sensory processing.  She will explain the history of sensory integration theory and sensory processing.  She will help you to understand the differences between direct sensory integration and sensory supports.  The series will explore current evidence for sensory supports and how you can assess children’s needs and embed practical supports to help.

The six part series will next run Jan-Feb 2026. The first 5 sessions will be weekly from 5 Jan – 2 Feb 7:30 pm – 9 pm.  The final Q&A session will be on 23 Feb 7:30-8:30. You will have access to the recordings until 31 March 2026.

Sensory processing training for occupational therapists weekly session details

5 Jan 2026 19:30-21:00 GMT: Reviewing conceptual models of sensory processing/integration. 

This session will review the different theoretical models of sensory processing and explore where sensory strategies fit within these models. It will also introduce arousal, self-regulation and sensory modulation.

12 Jan 2026 19:30-21:00 GMT: Sensory strategies – what’s the evidence? 

This session will explore the current published evidence available to support the use of sensory strategies in practice. Spoiler alert: Unfortunately, there is very little evidence.

19 Jan 2026 19:30-21:00 GMT: Assessment, modulation, arousal, and goal setting. 

This session will cover the different assessment tools occupational therapists can use to identify sensory and arousal needs. The primary goal for using sensory supports within occupational therapy is to support arousal and regulation and the end of the session will focus on writing functional goals.

26 Jan 2026 19:30-21:00 GMT: Using sensory strategies at school 

The main focus of the session will be practical considerations for success within schools. The session will conclude with a few case examples.

Frequently asked questions

Are the sessions recorded?

Yes. Unless there are tech issues, recordings are available the next day in the online learning platform. You will have access to all recordings until the 31 March 2026. If you join after the first session (5/1), you will receive access to the recordings for the earlier sessions. It is recommended that you watch these before attending live sessions as each session builds on the next and they are designed to be watched in order.

Do you provide the slides?

No. The full set of slides is not provided. You will receive summary notes, a reference list and a reflective worksheet for each session. These will be available in advance in the online learning platform.

Is there a completion certificate?

You will be able to generate a completion certificate at the end of the training, once you have watched all of the videos.

GOT90: Journal Club & Evidence Review

Thanks to those who attended the journal club in 2022/23.  At the moment it is not something I have time to continue to present, however I hope to find time in the future to get it up and running again.

The GOT-90 Journal Club is designed for paediatric OTs who want to review recent evidence, but are short of time. Every four months Kim will discuss the paediatric evidence from the main occupational therapy journals. She will also include any interesting articles that she has read on the topics of play, DCD, sensory processing and autism from other journals.

A very easy way for you to stay up to date with your EBP!

Paediatric literature will be considered from the following OT journals

• American Journal of Occupational Therapy
• British Journal of Occupational Therapy
• Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy
• Australian Journal of Occupational Therapy
• Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools, & Early Intervention

Sorry there are no dates planned for 2023/2024.

GOT90: Special Guests

Sometimes Kim will host special guests on the GOT-90 Evidence series.  Upcoming guests include:

Susan Allen – Using parent coaching to support sensory needs 20234 date to be confirmed.  Susan’s PdD research has centred on the use of parent coaching to support sensory needs.  She will discuss different approaches to coaching, including occupational performance coaching and current evidence for parent coaching.

You can book onto these training here on the GOT90 main page.  If you follow Kim’s account on Eventbrite, or join her mailing list you will also be the first to hear when new training is released.
