Treating Sensory Modulation Disruptions: The STEPSI© - A Tool for Effective Clinical Reasoning
This workshop presents a clinical reasoning model for treating children who have unusual and challenging behaviors involving a lack of modulation of sensory stimuli. The understanding of treatment for individuals with sensory modulation disruptions (SMD) are becoming better identified in the greater body of sensory integration theory. This course will provide an overview of the theoretical foundations of SMD from occupational therapy literature and related neuroscience research. A model for planning, implementation, and monitoring treatment will be presented: Sensation, Task, Environment, Predictability, Self-Monitoring, and Interactions (S.T.E.P.S. I.). The STEPSI is a principle-based model that breaks down treatment into easily understandable components. Participants should have foundation knowledge in sensory integration theory and treatment. Faculty for this workshop:
Tracy Murnan Stackhouse, MA, OTR, Sharen Trunnell, OTR, Julia Wilbarger, Ph.D., OTR

Clinical Reasoning for the Child with Hand Differences: Unleashing the Potential
Treatment of fine motor and hand issues is a practice area every pediatric OT encounters. However, until now there has not been a comprehensive clinical reasoning model to support professionals in their problem solving and treatment planning. This course presents just such a dynamic tool. You will learn a solid, evidence-based clinical reasoning model based on anatomy, motor learning concepts and the drive of the human spirit to have fun and conquer. The model will allow you to create fun, comprehensive treatment plans that will help children with a variety of upper extremity differences move towards mastery. Additionally, you will learn to complete a comprehensive hand assessment and acquire many new treatment ideas.
Treatment videos, case studies and hands-on experiences are utilized to teach the clinical reasoning process. This course is a dynamic, interactive means of improving your skills as a pediatric therapist and is applicable for pediatric therapists across work settings.
Trudi Boulter,OTR, Certified Hand Specialist, will be teaching this
course.
