Chapters & learning objectives
1. Understanding Sensory Processing Disorder and Its Neurological Connections
This chapter delves into the diverse patterns of sensory processing disorders, emphasizing their correlations with conditions like ADHD and autism. Participants will also explore the neuroanatomy behind these patterns, setting the stage for effective intervention strategies, with a focus on neuroplasticity.
2. Exploring Treatment Interventions: Traditional and Innovative Approaches
Focusing on both traditional and innovative treatment methods, this chapter aligns various therapeutic techniques with the neurological frameworks discussed earlier. Participants will explore real-world case studies and videos, with a strong emphasis on how neuroplasticity can enhance treatment outcomes.
3. Practical Applications of Neuroplasticity in Treatment
In the final chapter, participants will learn how to apply neuroplasticity principles to treatment, using evidence-based strategies to support emotional regulation and sensory integration. This chapter includes in-depth case study reviews and practical applications for clinicians and educators alike.
