			<h3>Audience</h3>

			<p>This workshop is designed for allied health professionals who use&mdash;or wish to integrate&mdash;standardised assessments into their practice. It is especially valuable for clinicians involved in NDIS functional capacity assessments, reporting, and funding submissions.</p>

			<h3>Course Description</h3>

			<p>Standardised assessments provide reliable, evidence-based data that strengthen clinical reasoning and reporting. This workshop gives clinicians a practical overview of widely used tools across disability, rehabilitation, mental health, and aged care contexts.</p>

			<p>Participants will explore the purpose, processes, and applications of assessments such as Vineland-3, ABAS-3, WHODAS 2.0, Sensory Profile, CIQ-R, Barthel Index, AFLS, CANS, LSP-16, and Lawton&rsquo;s IADL Scale. The session covers administration methods, scoring, interpretation, and reporting, and highlights how each tool aligns with NDIS expectations.</p>

			<p>By the end of this training, you will be able to compare tools, select the most appropriate measure for client needs, and integrate findings into clear, accurate reports that support both funding applications and effective interventions.</p>

			<h3>Learning Outcomes</h3>

			<p>By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:</p>

			<ul>
				<li><strong>Recognise</strong> the purpose and appropriate use of key standardised assessment tools in allied health practice.</li>
				<li><strong>Identify</strong> the clinical populations and contexts where each tool is most relevant and reliable.</li>
				<li><strong>Understand</strong> administration processes, including interviews, self-report, proxy, and Q-global platforms.</li>
				<li><strong>Interpret</strong> scoring systems, subdomains, and reporting formats, and apply these to functional assessments.</li>
				<li><strong>Integrate</strong> assessment findings into reports, funding applications, and recommendations aligned with professional and NDIS requirements.</li>
				<li><strong>Compare</strong> the strengths and limitations of different tools to select the most appropriate option for each client.</li>

<p>Sensory processing challenges do not end in childhood. They often continue into adolescence and adulthood, influencing participation, wellbeing, and everyday function. This workshop equips allied health professionals with practical tools to identify sensory processing difficulties, connect assessment findings to functional performance, and develop tailored recommendations that support meaningful outcomes.</p>

			<h3>Audience</h3>

			<p>This workshop is designed for allied health professionals, including Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, Speech Pathologists, Physiotherapists, Social Workers, and Rehabilitation Practitioners.</p>

			<p>It is particularly relevant for those supporting adolescents and adults whose sensory processing differences affect daily living, participation, and mental health.</p>

			<h3>Course Description</h3>

			<p>Sensory processing differences are increasingly recognised in adolescents and adults, particularly among individuals with autism, neurological conditions, developmental disorders, and mental health presentations. When unaddressed, these differences can contribute to anxiety, functional limitations, and reduced quality of life.</p>

			<p>This workshop introduces allied health professionals to the foundations of sensory processing and sensory processing disorder, including key types, prevalence, and associated conditions. Participants will learn to identify signs of dysfunction across sensory systems&mdash;from vision and hearing through to proprioception and interoception. Assessment options are explored, with an emphasis on the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profil<strong>e</strong> and complementary tools that link sensory needs to functional outcomes.</p>

			<p>Evidence-informed intervention strategies are also covered, including environmental modifications, accommodations, sensory diets, and interoception supports. The workshop concludes with practical guidance on integrating sensory processing findings into clear, functional reports that provide actionable recommendations.</p>

			<h3>Learning Outcomes</h3>

			<p>By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:</p>

			<ul>
				<li>Define sensory processing and sensory processing disorder, including prevalence, causes, and associated conditions.</li>
				<li>Differentiate between the main types of sensory processing disorder: sensory modulation disorder, sensory-based motor disorder, and sensory discrimination disorder.</li>
				<li>Recognise signs of dysfunction across sensory systems (visual, tactile, auditory, gustatory, olfactory, vestibular, proprioceptive, and interoceptive) in adolescents and adults.</li>
				<li>Identify appropriate assessment approaches, including the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile and complementary tools, and link findings to functional performance.</li>
				<li>Apply evidence-informed intervention approaches, including environmental modifications, accommodations, sensory diets, interoception supports, and education for clients, families, and caregivers.</li>
				<li>Integrate sensory processing knowledge into clear, practical reports with functional examples and tailored recommendations.</li>
			</ul>

			<p>The Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile enables clients to evaluate themselves through the use of a Self-Questionnaire. Evaluate the possible contributions of sensory processing to the client&rsquo;s daily performance patterns and obtain information about everyday sensory experiences and the impact on behaviour in different settings.</p>

			<p>Use for identifying and developing client awareness and strategies to optimise the desired sensory environment. Generates an individualised profile of sensory processing across four quadrants: low registration, sensation seeking, sensory sensitivity, and sensation avoiding. Reproducible charts provide an intervention matrix across the quadrants and six sensory processing categories:</p>

			<ul>
				<li>taste/smell processing</li>
				<li>movement processing</li>
				<li>visual processing</li>
				<li>touch processing</li>
				<li>activity level</li>
				<li>auditory processing</li>
			</ul>

			<p>The Adult Sensory Profile can be administered through OSA, ROSA or Manual Entry (in combination with the paper form when using Q-Global for scoring/reporting).&nbsp;</p>

			<p>Applicable for adolescents and adults with or without a diagnosed disability. A standardised instrument to measure sensory processing; promotes theory based decision making and intervention planning.</p>

			<p>Professionals who do not have expertise or training in sensory processing should consult with an Occupational Therapist when interpreting the results of this assessment. Training in the administration and interpretation of this test is available from Pearson Clinical&nbsp;Assessment.</p>

			<h3>Scoring and Interpretation</h3>

			<p>The quadrant scores derived from the <em>Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile</em> represent patterns of sensory processing as described in Dunn&#39;s (1997a) Model of Sensory Processing. Based on the intersection of two continua (neurological threshold and behavioural response/self-regulation), this model describes quadrants identified as Low Registration, Sensation Seeking, Sensory Sensitivity, and Sensation Avoiding. Each quadrant has its own score; it is possible for an individual to have any combination of scores. Some patterns that seem to be mutually exclusive (e.g., sensation seeking and sensation avoiding) may be present in the same individual.</p>
