Adolescent / Adult Sensory Profile

Audience

This course is designed for all B level users interested in using the Sensory Profile.

Course Description

This 3-hour on-demand training includes an overview of Dunn's sensory processing framework, on which the test scores are based, and explains how to interpret the results and use these meaningfully to inform clinical practice.

This course also includes case studies presented by test authors Winnie Dunn and Catana Brown to illustrate the translation from theory into practice. Participants will have access to this course for one year.

Learning Outcomes

After attending this session, participants will be able to:

• Demonstrate a working knowledge of the theoretical framework underlying the Sensory Profile
• Explain how the Sensory Profile is similar to and different from other standardised assessments
• Use an occupation-focused approach to use and interpret the Sensory Profile
• Analyse the meaning of different score patterns in everyday life
• Describe how to use data obtained from the Sensory Profile to direct clinical decision-making and strategy formation

Prerequisites

To attend our User Level B Adaptive Behaviour training you will need to:

• Register on our website
• Have a tertiary level education

While it is no longer mandatory to acquire an “approved mentor” to supervise your scoring and reporting of User Level B practice assessments, we strongly recommend that you do so to ensure your administration and practice of assessment usage are accurate.

Your mentor should be an existing User Level B or C and have at least 6-12 months of experience using User Level B assessments.
