Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD): Controversial Aspects of Diagnosis and Treatment
Jacqueline Dobres, MS OT R/L, BCBA
moderated by Julian Madison, MS, CCC-SLP

Power Up Conference, Day 1
March 4th, 4pm ET/ 1pm PT

Sensory Processing Disorder is used to describe a multitude of behaviors related to a reaction to some sensory stimuli (i.e., touch, smell, noise, etc.).  However it is not recognized in the DSM-5 which makes it difficult to understand what sensory processing disorder is and how we should define it.  Treatment of sensory integration is widely used but recommendation through research is limited.  There is a vast collection of case studies with limited large scale studies, and therefore is a poor representation when discussing evidence based practice.  We will look at the current evidence base that is available, discuss the need for additional research that focuses on evaluating the data, and how to cautiously apply the current evidence to practice.

Legally Defensibe IEPs series: Becoming a Highly Credible Expert
Lenore Boyarin, Esq.
moderated by Tatyana Elleseff, MA CCC SLP

Power Up Conference, Day 2
March 5th, 1 pm ET/ 10 am PT

In our time together, I hope to bring insight into the process of
evaluation, such that we arrive at solid, evidence-based
recommendations for the child before you. We will explore,
what do you know? What do you need to know? Did you
answer your own questions effectively? The information about
the child, contained in records review or the parent interview,
are invaluable. The red flags raised should lead to the
assessments utilized, will there be observations, and if so, how
many and in which environments? And finally, the structure of
report writing. By exploring different suspected disabilities, we
will create the basis for an approach which should make you highly credible when you report your findings and
recommendations.
