Sensory Modulation: Using a Sensory Lens with Clients is the alternate name for this course (it has been rebranded)
Sensory modulation is the use of specific and tailored sensory input to change the way a person feels, helping them to feel:
- More safe and secure
- Less anxious and more calm
- Less overwhelmed and more grounded
- More able to connect with others
- More able to engage in meaningful activities and routines
This three part pre-recorded webinar series and powerpoint presentation focuses on sensory modulation and its application with regard to a range of support and living environments. This includes inpatient mental health units, high dependency units, residential, rehabilitation and respite facilities as well as various accommodations including independent, shared and supported housing. Participants will expand their understanding of sensory modulation as an intervention and enhance their ability to tailor strategies to the unique needs of the individual, by enhancing the following sensory skills:
- using an observational sensory lens
- turning down sensory input
- sensory strategies to reverse physiology
- the dive reflex to change physiology
- assessing the impact of the support/living environment with a sensory lens
- making sure sensory approaches are SAIM (safe, appropriate, individualised and meaningful)
- sensory strategies to facilitate occupational/activity engagement
- explaining and exploring sensory modulation
