Webinar 1: Sensory Modulation Program Component 1: Therapeutic Use of Self and Assessment
 

SESSION OVERVIEW

This OTA webinar is the first in a series that will provide an overview of Tina Champagne’s Sensory Modulation Program Components. This first webinar explores the Sensory Modulation Program Component 1: Therapeutic Use of Self and Assessment. Explore how the concept of the therapeutic use of self is enhanced by the knowledge of the sensory systems, social engagement system, and how to apply the therapeutic use of self to enable the collaborative occupational therapy assessment process.   

Comprehensive occupational therapy assessment requires effectiveness in the therapeutic use of self, which includes exploring occupational and sensory modulation-related strengths and challenges. The assessment process affords the ability to better understand the needs of each person and more effectively offer individualized and specific sensory modulation-related strategies, supporting occupational participation.

Learning Objectives: At the end of this session, you will be able to:

1. Describe the significance of the therapeutic use of self, as it relates to each sensory system and the social engagement system.
2. Explain the importance of the therapeutic use of self in the occupational therapy assessment process
3. Appraise sensory modulation-related screening tools
4. Review and apply a sampling of Tina Champagne’s sensory modulation-related screening tools
5. Recognise the importance of collaborating with family, carers and support people about sensory modulation and assessments to enhance occupational participation and daily life.
