Workshop Overview

Alex shares practical ideas using suspended and non-suspended equipment to create effective sensorimotor interventions that can be readily implemented in the therapy clinic, at home, or in a school environment. Hands-on interventions to support breath, coordination, timing, balance and strength will be presented. The workshop also covers how to modify, adapt and grade activities to support the best possible outcomes.

You’ll also explore ways to improve child engagement, including how to facilitate “play” to support a stronger therapist–child relationship. This is a dynamic, hands-on workshop where participants experience the activities in their own bodies. Lastly, Alex will provide tools for therapists to create DIY sensory diet equipment at minimal cost.
By the End of This Workshop, You Will Be Able To
  • Understand the importance of vestibular, proprioceptive, tactile and vision occluded integration as it relates to postural development, balance and physical development
  • Participate in and generate ideas and activities that support sensory development
  • List sensory motor interventions that children can readily take back into the classroom
  • Create effective sensory diets using minimal equipment that can be implemented in school and home environments
  • Develop creative opportunities to facilitate agility, motor control, balance and upper/lower extremity coordination through play
