This video delves into the practical application of Sensory Integration (SI) theory, initially developed by Dr. Ayres. The presentation aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and clinical practice, offering insights into how professionals can leverage a deep understanding of SI to enhance their practice. Through a mix of discussion on the foundational aspects of SI, including Dr. Ayres' contributions through models, assessments, and interventions, and the importance of evidence-based practice, viewers will gain a comprehensive overview of the field. Dr. Roley also emphasizes the critical role of ongoing education, highlighting the importance of engaging with both literature and clinical experience to refine and expand one's practice. Practical examples, including case studies, underscore the application of SI theory in addressing diverse sensory integration challenges. This presentation is an invaluable resource for practitioners across various domains looking to apply SI theory to support individuals with sensory integration needs effectively.
