Differential diagnosis between Sensory Modulation Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is often challenging since these conditions share several clinical characteristics and frequently co-occur. An increasing amount of research in recent years has focused on obtaining a better understanding of the relationship between these disorders. This presentation will provide a review of several of the main conclusion that emerge from the research evidence, followed by a discussion of the clinical implications for evaluation and intervention.

Presenter:
Aviva Yochman, OT, PhD, is a Lecturer and the Head of Pediatric Studies at the School of Occupational Therapy, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel. Her primary area of research has focused on sensory modulation disorder among children and adults, as well as investigating self-regulation as a multidimensional construct (sensory, cognitive, and emotional) among individuals from typical and diagnostic populations, and the impact of these processes on daily life functioning and quality of life. Furthermore, she is currently involved in developing theoretically driven OT intervention protocols for children with self-regulation challenges, resulting from health conditions such as PTSD and complex trauma. Her clinical work at multidisciplinary child developmental centers included treating children with a range of neurodevelopmental disorders, and promoting knowledge translation in occupational therapy.
