This workshop is designed for occupational, physical, and speech pathologists, behavior specialists, psychologists, physicians, educators, and parents. The speakers skillfully use a layering system to guide participants to an understanding of the complexities of sensory integrative and behavioral difficulties seen in individuals across the lifespan. Challenging behaviors and behavioral manifestations in individuals with developmental and mental health issues are among the most complex challenges that therapists are called upon to address. The relationship between mental health, sensory processing, communication challenges, and behavioral manifestations are intimately intermingled, making the challenges even more complex. Carolyn Murray-Slutsky and Betty Paris skillfully use the layering system to delve into the confusing and challenging behaviors that children and adults often demonstrate, addressing the question Is It Sensory or is it Behavior? Videos and case presentations will be used to help participants identify the underlying sensory integrative and behavioral problems as instructors scaffold the complex interrelationship between behavior, communication, mental health, and sensory contributions to behaviors. Participants will acquire the foundational skills needed for problem analysis and treatment planning. Focus will be on utilizing a strength-based approach, developing internal motivation, while remediating the underlying core problems, utilizing their strengths, identifying the most effective environments, interventions, reinforcers, and strategies to meet the child’s emotional, sensory, and behavioral needs; reduce undesirable behavior(s) and facilitate the child’s effective coping strategies and functional performance. A flow chart and the behavioral analysis worksheet will be used to guide the analysis process and objectify clinical observations.
