Sensory Processing Disorder Education Opportunities
By Michelle Clarke
Education Program Manager
 |
This ALL-NEW e-Learning program features the pioneering occupational therapist A. Jean Ayres, PhD, OTR, explaining the theory and treatment of Sensory Processing Disorder while treating Children in her clinic. Lucy Jane Miller, PhD, OTR, SPD Foundation founder and executive director, conducted the interview that is captured on this rare, historic footage. Dr. Miller now rejoins her former mentor by narrating the hour-long program and providing professionals and parents with their first opportunity in decades to learn directly from the woman who originated sensory integration principles and practice. "In the Clinic with Dr. A. Jean Ayres" is a must-have educational program for every professional who treats SPD and every parent who wants to better understand the foundations of treatment for Sensory Processing Disorder.
Cost: $25.00 - .1 AOTA CEU

What e-Learning students say about being in the clinic with Dr. Ayres:
- I thought it was excellent! Can't think of anything to improve it.
- I thought the program was great! It was exciting to actually see and hear Dr. Ayres. Thank you for putting this program together.
- This was such an incredible and moving learning experience. I can't begin to thank you and am feeling some urgency to share within my school district.
- This was a nice blend of theory and video examples. E-Learning is much easier from a scheduling standpoint since no time off work is required.
