In this presentation Dr. Gustavo Reinoso explores how sensory integration (SI) is being utilized differently by occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) in various settings and regions. In doing so, sensory integration is changing and evolving. Perhaps one of the most interesting changes is how sensory integration is being combined with other approaches. Does the combination of SI and other approaches hold the key for future research, interdisciplinary work, and reimbursement?

Learning Objectives:
After participating in this session, attendees should be able to:
Justify the need for SI clinicians to master multiple tools as support for clinical reasoning.
Describe how sensory integration (SI) is being utilized by occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) in various settings and regions, emphasizing its evolving nature.
Identify the key changes in sensory integration practices, including their combination with other therapeutic approaches.
Analyze the implications of combining SI with other approaches and how this mayimpact future research, interdisciplinary work, and reimbursement strategies.
Summarize current trends in sensory integration and predict how they may continue to evolve in the occupational therapy field.
Demonstrate through examples how the combination of SI and other approaches has been successfully implemented in clinical practice.
Explain the need for further research and exploration in sensory integration, highlighting the potential benefits and challenges of integrating it with other therapeutic approaches.
Who should attend:
Occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, physical therapists, speech language pathologists, educators, child development specialists, mental health professionals, and other allied health professionals.
