Text Box: Sensory Processing Overview

Demystifying the idea that sensory difficulties only have to do with itchy clothing tags or the seams in socks

PRESENTER:  Lisa Hamilton-Goscombe, PT
					Groton Integrated Therapies
DATE: 	Wednesday, May 13, 2009	
TIME: 	7:00 – 9:00 PM
PLACE: 	GD Regional Middle School North Library
			(Please Note Location Change)

It is believed that Sensory Processing Disorder currently affects one in twenty children and that many childhood disorders, such as ADD/ADHD, Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Bi-Piloar Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorders, various learning disabilities, and many other mental health disorders have an underlying sensory component to them.

This presentation will benefit parents, guardians, teachers, and anyone who works with children and adolescents - whether they have a diagnosed disorder or not.  At this informative presentation, Ms. Hamilton-Goscombe will review the different aspects of sensory processing, including sensory modulation, sensory discrimination, and motor planning issues or praxis.  She will also review red flags which might indicate potential issues with sensory processing and the typical behaviors and functional difficulties that one might observe or experience when a child or adolescent has poor sensory processing, either at home, at school, or in the community.

Lisa Hamilton-Goscombe, PT, is the owner of Groton integrated Therapies, located at Mill Run Plaza in Groton.  She specializes in assessment, treatment, and consultation for children and young adults with developmental and sensory processing challenges.  Ms. Goscombe has over 27 years of pediatric clinical experience and holds certificates in Sensory Integration and Praxis tests, the Tomatis-based Dynamic Listening System, and the The Listening Program.  She also has extensive training and experience in Craniosacral Therapy, Neurodevelopmental treatment, Therapeutic Listening, and oral motor and feeding techniques..
