Description

Protocol-driven therapies for sensory processing disorders are one-size-fits-all.

But you’re not treating ALL clients with sensory needs.

You’re treating Dave, who has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and is hoping to get his drivers license soon.

And Jill who has Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) and struggles with anxiety triggered by sensory overload.

Good news – for you, for Dave, for Jill, and for each and every one of your unique clients …

Through firsthand practice, real world experiences, and enlightening travels, Michelle Lindsey, PT designed an approach to step outside the box and break the boundaries of traditional sensory therapies.

In her all-new training, you’ll learn how to transform your treatment sessions by calling on new therapeutic ideas loaded with unique, neurodiverse, sensory integration and regulation techniques that drive proven results to …

  • Connect with clients without experiencing fear, anxiety, or sensations of appearing inadequate
  • Develop awareness through gaining skills to observe and better understand your clients
  • Embrace neurodiverse care forming neurological connections through multiple sensory strategies to accelerate goal progression, functional skills, and participation in daily activities
  • Adapt to any environment with tools to progress therapeutic activities in the client’s home, classroom, or work to foster community integration, independence, and fulfillment
  • Let go of your ego and foster a therapeutic alliance with your patient founded on active and empathetic listening without personal assumptions, judgements, or bias

This training will leave you with a fresh perspective when addressing clients with sensory disorders and developmental delays across the lifespan. Get ready and be prepared to see the world differently - with all your senses!
