9:30 to 12:30

August 5, 2021

A live interactive training using the Zoom Pro platform

Price per person $89

Description

This workshop will provide participations with both didactic learning, experiential activities, and culminate in the
creation of a sensory informed strategy for their own clinical application.

Beginning with an overview of the prevalence of trauma we will briefly review the seminal ACE’s studies. A brief
history of trauma theory as it applies to normative attachment will also be reviewed. Next, participants will receive
an overview of neural development as it applies to trauma, looking specifically at Bruce Perry’s theory of bottom
up and top-down regulation strategies. The impact of sensory activities on the brain will be explored in
relationship to areas of brain functioning. Sensory systems will be identified, and participants will complete a
sensory inventory as it pertains to a client. Specific trauma sensitive activities will be identified and connected to
trauma repair. Participants will work in small groups to complete a Sensory Strategy plan that they can implement
in their practice.

Training Objectives:

At the conclusion of this session participants will be able to:

1. Describe the impact of trauma on self-regulation.

2. Identify why and how sensory interventions work.

3. Develop a sensory profile questionnaire.

4. Create a trauma informed sensory support plan for a client/student/consumer.

5. Identify and problem solve potential barriers of implementation of a sensory support plan
