Learning Results
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After the course, participants will be able to:
1. Apply clinical reasoning in the design and implementation of intervention for individuals with sensory integration difficulties or dysfunction
2. Link the hypothesis from assessment with therapeutic proximal goals toward meeting proximal, participation-related outcomes.
3. Use dynamic assessment while working with clients to refine the intervention during treatment
4. Name the process elements of the ASI Intervention Fidelity Measure
5. Describe the way in which the process elements interact during a direct intervention session
6. Explain the relationship between the activities and the facilitation of adaptive responses;
7. Explain the importance of the client’s motivation and active involvement during the intervention;
8. Discuss the benefits and limitations of ASI intervention with a wide variety of diagnostic groups, ages, and types of difficulties;
9. Demonstrate the way in which sensory strategies are implemented in various contexts, including the home, school and the community.
Program
UC7 provides the foundation knowledge and skills to evaluate ASI as an evidence-based method, or frame of reference, for intervention. The learner is introduced to the intervention principles of ASI and to the concept of “fidelity” to an intervention; specific instruction is provided about fidelity measures, in general, and the appropriate use of the Ayres Sensory Integration Fidelity Measure (ASIFM). Videotaped segments of intervention are featured to clearly identify the difference between ASI and other treatment methods and to show the structure and process of the intervention. Module 5 also focuses on intervention planning from assessment, formulating the proximal outcomes that guide the selection of therapeutic activities, and reaching and measuring distal participation-related outcomes.
