GOT90: Sensory Series
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 cover the following topics
- Navigating sensory acronyms and assessment tools – Late 2023
- Sensory Supports – What’s the Evidence? – 14 Mar 2023 (Repeat)
- Understanding Regulation and Arousal – 22 Feb 2023
- Sensory Supports – Assessment and Goal Setting – 28 Mar 2023
- Sensory Supports – Success at School – 23 May 2023
- Sensory Supports – Success at Home – 27 Jun 2023
Each topic will be presented as a stand-alone training. The presentations will build on each other, but you do not have to complete the topics in order. The training assumes you will have an interest in sensory processing and have some basic understanding of the senses.
GOT90: Journal Club & Evidence Review
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
The recording will be available for 30 days after the event for those who can’t join live and for those who wish to review the content again. The next dates are 24 Jan, 25 April, 11 Jul 2023.
