Evidence based practices for serving children with autism and their families

Sensory processing in everyday life and coaching: Evidence based practices for serving children with autism and their families

It is imperative that we serve families with the best possible strategies based on the current evidence. During this session, we will:

• explore how sensory processing knowledge provides vital information for planning successful family routines and interactions;
   
• discuss the effective use of coaching practices to support families to have high quality living on their terms and in the ways that work for their families; and
   
• examine the resource effectiveness of providing services via telehealth.

 

Dr. Dunn is Professor of the Department of Occupational Therapy Education at the University of Kansas.  She is an internationally known expert for her studies about sensory processing in everyday life.  She has published more than 100 research articles, book chapters and books, and has spoken around the world about her work.  She is the author/ coauthor of all of the Sensory Profile measures, which capture people’s responses to sensory events in everyday life; these assessments have been translated into dozens of languages and are used for both professional practice and in research programs.  The second edition of the Sensory Profiles for children became available in 2014.  She has received the top honors in her field, including the Award of Merit for outstanding overall contributions, and the Eleanor Clark Slagle Lectureship for outstanding academic contributions; she is a member of the Academy of Research for the American Occupational Therapy Foundation and has received the A. Jean Ayres research award.  She has also received awards for innovative and engaging teaching, including the Chancellor’s Excellence in Teaching Award, the Kemper Teaching Fellowship and in 2011 she received the Chancellor’s Distinguished Professorship from the University of Kansas.  Most recently she has written a book for the public about her research entitled Living Sensationally understanding your senses, which has been featured in Time magazine, Cosmopolitan magazine, Canadian Public Radio and the London Times newspaper among others.  In July 2009, Living Sensationally received the Seal of Excellence from the Children of the New Earth magazine for parents, professionals and other caregivers.
