This webinar delves into the practicalities and insights of implementing Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) through telehealth, particularly focusing on occupational therapy. It features a comprehensive discussion among therapists who share their experiences and strategies for adapting sensory integration techniques to the home environment, ensuring effective therapy sessions remotely. Key topics include the importance of preparation and early engagement with families, the creative utilization of resources available within homes, and the adaptation of assessment tools for telehealth. The therapists also discuss the challenges and solutions related to maintaining engagement with children and their parents, managing the unpredictable nature of home settings, and leveraging clinical reasoning to navigate the unique aspects of telehealth. This video serves as a valuable resource for occupational therapists looking to expand their practice into the virtual domain while maintaining the essence of ASI, providing insights into overcoming the inherent challenges of remote therapy.
