Clinical Reasoning Using ASI

Module 4

Module 4 provides information on using research to guide the interpretation of assessment data, linking findings to participation strengths and challenges, and guiding intervention planning. Participants prepare a case study for analysis. 

  • Module 4 is open to healthcare professionals with at least a bachelor level equivalent college/university degree in occupational therapy, speech pathology, physical therapy, psychology, or medicine. Module 4 is a prerequisite to Module 6.

  • After the course, participants will be able to:

    1. Describe the patterns of sensory integration function and dysfunction

    2. Analyze and interpret assessment results according to the patterns of SI function and dysfunction

    3. Relate the data obtained through the application of the instruments with the difficulties of occupational performance of the individual

    4. Identify client-centred goals and objectives from presenting concerns linked to the interpretation

    5. Create the intervention plan based on the evaluation performed

    6. Describe how the intervention will be conducted, as well as various contexts for children identified with sensory dysfunction
