Course 3: From Interpretation to Intervention

The "Interpretation" course provides information necessary for interpreting assessment data, and for using this data to plan intervention strategies. Special emphasis is placed on the analysis and interpretation of SIPT results. The use of case studies demonstrates the clinical reasoning process in interpreting assessment results and using this information to plan and implement intervention.

Participants
Courses 2 and 3 are open to occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech and language pathologists, neuropsychologists, and physicians wishing to learn how to evaluate sensory integration and praxis and how to interpret these findings based on research for the purpose of planning intervention.

• Describe patterns of sensory integrative dysfunction by placing individual test results within the framework identified through research
• Plan intervention programs in a variety of settings for children identified as having sensory integrative dysfunction
• Describe the relationship between assessment results and functional performance at home, at school, and in the community
