Course Content

Module 1: Understanding Sensory Integration
This module introduces the foundational concepts of sensory integration and its critical role in child development. You’ll gain an understanding of the sensory systems—such as tactile, vestibular, and proprioceptive—and how they work together to help us navigate the world. By exploring how the brain processes sensory information, you'll see why sensory integration is essential for learning, behavior, and everyday activities. This module sets the stage for recognizing the profound impact of sensory processing on growth and development.

Module 2: Sensory Processing and Disorders
In this module, we delve into sensory processing and the challenges that can arise when the brain has difficulty interpreting sensory input. You’ll learn about Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) and its types: over-responsivity, under-responsivity, and sensory seeking. Real-life examples and behavioral signs will help you identify these challenges in children or individuals you work with. By the end of this module, you’ll understand how sensory processing challenges manifest and the importance of early recognition and support.

Module 3: Assessment Basics
This module focuses on the basics of assessing sensory needs. You’ll learn how to observe and document behaviors that might indicate sensory processing challenges using simple tools like sensory checklists and sensory profiles. The content highlights key signs to look for in everyday situations, such as difficulty with transitions or unusual responses to sensory stimuli. This module also emphasizes the importance of seeking professional evaluations to ensure accurate diagnoses and tailored intervention plans.

Module 4: Strategies and Interventions
Building on the knowledge from earlier modules, this section provides practical strategies to address sensory needs. You’ll explore simple, effective activities that can be implemented at home, in classrooms, or during therapy sessions. Additionally, the module covers environmental modifications to create sensory-friendly spaces and foster positive sensory experiences. Collaborative approaches with occupational therapists will also be discussed, empowering you to build personalized support systems for individuals with sensory challenges.

Module 5: Case Studies and Real-life Applications
This module brings the theory to life with real-world case studies and success stories. You’ll see how sensory integration strategies have helped children overcome challenges, improve behaviors, and thrive in various settings. Each example offers valuable insights into applying what you’ve learned in practical scenarios. This module will leave you inspired and equipped with actionable ideas to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those with sensory needs.
