Date/Time: September 18, 19 & October 17 (9:00am-3:30pm)

Note:

  • This is a three-day certificate course

Description: This program will provide occupational therapists with an intense and practical review of their role with individuals with Autism and other forms of ASD. The most current information will be presented and experiential opportunities will be provided.  There will be a four week break between sessions to allow participants to employ newly acquired knowledge and strategies. When the group reconvenes, participants will share their experiences and receive feedback on individual cases. For those participants who do not currently have individuals on their caseloads with ASD, arrangements will be made to pair them with families involved at the Geneva Centre. 

The workshop will include: an overview of the characteristics of ASD and a discussion of current perspectives within the field; a review of the occupational therapist’s role in assessment, treatment, consultation and program planning. Focus will be on a sensory integration theoretical framework but other areas of occupational therapy practice will be incorporated. Therapeutic equipment and programming materials will be available for experimentation.  A discussion of communication differences and visual aids will be co-presented by Jean Loeffelhardt, SLP.  The analysis of videotapes, which illustrate assessment, treatment and programming strategies and the many characteristics of this disorder, will be included.

Contingent upon regular attendance and submission of an assessment report, participants will receive a certificate indicating that they received Level 1 training from Geneva Centre for Autism.
