COURSE 3 – From Interpretation to Intervention
Course Description:
To provide in-depth analysis of the research supporting the understanding of assessment results linking sensory processing and integration to engagement and concerns, and for using this data to plan intervention strategies. Special emphasis is placed on the analysis and interpretation of SIPT results. The use of case studies demonstrates the clinical reasoning process in interpreting assessment results and using this information for intervention planning and implementation.
Learning Objectives:
Following this course, participants will be able to…
Analyze and interpret measures of sensory integration, with particular emphasis on SIPT results
Describe patterns of sensory integrative dysfunction by placing individual test results within the framework identified through decades of research
Plan intervention programs in a variety of settings for children identified as having sensory integrative dysfunction
Describe the relationship between assessment results and the functional performance at home, at school, and in the community

Course Sequence
The courses build upon each other.
Course 1 is designed to help students become conversant in theory related to sensory integration and serves as an introduction to the forms of assessment taught in Course 2, including administration of the SIPT. Course 2 is a prerequisite to Course 3, which focuses on the interpretation of test results, particularly SIPT results. Course 4 has Course 1 as a prerequisite and builds on the elements introduced in all of the previous 3 courses.
We recommend that participants attend the courses in sequence and believe those who take the courses out of order will be at a disadvantage. However, we realize some participants may not wish to take the entire series, and strict adherence to the prescribed order may pose scheduling problems for others. Participants who wish to take the courses out of sequence are advised to review the certification requirements to make a difficult transition a bit easier. Please be aware that all 4 courses must be completed within a 5-year time span in order to qualify for certification.
Certification
Upon completion of each individual course, participants are awarded the Certificate of Attendance. (See attachment – “Policy and Procedures for Missed Contact Hours”). It will be sent through email after the each course. For the Certification in Sensory Integration, participation in the entire 4-course series through USC/WPS is necessary, and participants are eligible to administer and interpret the Sensory Integration and Praxis Test.
