Consultations are available with our specialty coordinators including: Professional consultations for challenging clients: OTA offers consultation to occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and other professionals working with challenging clients. A senior therapist or director will review videotapes and reports and then set up a consult over the telephone or Skype to offer insight into potential sensory integration challenges and offer recommendations for intervention. These services are billed at an hourly rate. To set up a consultation please email our executive assistant at admin@otathekoomarcenter.com.
SPIRAL spent many years researching the OTA clinical adult sensory history, including collecting normative data, resulting in the publication of The Adult/Adolescent Sensory History. This self-report assessment of sensory and motor behaviors commonly observed in individuals with difficulties processing and integrating sensory information is designed to help identify adults and adolescents who experience problems in sensory processing and integration as well as assist therapists in clinical reasoning when creating interventions for these individuals.
Please see the SPIRAL website for ordering information.
SPIRAL offers numerous free resources tailored to adults, adolescents and the families of children with sensory processing difficulties, helping them better understand sensory integration difficulties and in turn, better advocate for themselves and their loved ones.
Please access these toolkits on the SPIRAL website.
