Introduction to Holistic Assessment and Interventions: 
Clinical Reasoning in Practice

Occupational therapy is inherently holistic in nature, yet as clinicians we often attach ourselves to specific frames of reference to guide our practice. This 3 Day In-Person Workshop will invite professionals (within therapy, heathcare and special education) to draw from neurobiology and a wide range of evidence-informed literature to support our professional development. Led by world-renowned OT Kim Barthel from Canada, this training opportunity aims squarely at expanding our curiosity and detective skills in creating individualized treatment for our clients’ function. Over three days together, a range of functions will be comprehensively explored through a holistic integration of our regulation, movement and sensory systems. Taking place in beautiful and historic Elsinore to the north of Copenhagen, Denmark, this unique training will encourage multi-disciplinary learning and networking.

Day 1- Function through a Regulation Lens

Across the lifespan, self-regulation is at the heart of human function and participation. Irrespective of the diagnosis, challenges with sensory, cognitive, emotional and autonomic regulation will interrupt social connection, eating and feeding, learning and participation in life. Through lecture, video demonstration and lab, participants will develop a deeper understanding of the impact of attachment and co-regulation through relationship. 

09:00 - 10:30:  What is regulation, really?
10:45 - 12:00:  Dyadic videotape analysis and group problem solving (lab)
12.00-13.00:    Lunch
13:00 - 13:45:  Treatment demonstration (videotape)
14:00- 15:00:   Developing attunement and co-regulation skills (lecture and lab)
15:15 - 16:15:  Holistic clinical reasoning that is relationally supported for eating and feeding.
Case-study: Attachment and its impact upon eating and feeding in early childhood.

Day 2- Function through a Movement Lens

As much as they are able, the way our bodies participate in life is through action. Understanding the neurobiology and kinesiology of posture and movement is essential for the implementation of treatment strategies that develop and sustain mobility and function. Neuro-Developmental Treatment will be introduced as a platform for movement analysis and intervention. Through lecture, video demonstration and labs, participants will develop an appreciation of how to treat function through the motor system. 

09:00 - 10:30:       Posture and movement analysis 
10:45 - 12:00:       Movement analysis lab
12.00-13.00:         Lunch
13:00 - 13:45:       Treatment demonstration (videotape)
14:00 - 15:00:       Handling and environmental problem-solving lab
15:15 - 16:15:       Holistic clinical reasoning that is posturally supported to enhance learning in the classroom.
Case-study: Posture and movement in the school-aged classroom environment 

 Day 3-Function through a Sensory Lens

Our brains process and integrate sensory information every moment of our lives. Neurobiologically, the interpretation of this information leads to social engagement, regulation, motor planning and learning. Understanding the neurobiology of sensory processing supports clinicians in developing personalized sensory experiences for each client. Through lecture, video-tape analysis and labs, participants will develop a depth of knowledge that supports their clinical reasoning. 

09:00- 10:30:   Current neurobiology of sensory processing 2022
10:45 - 12:00:  Videotape analysis and group problem solving of sensory issues with diverse diagnoses
12.00-13.00:  Lunch   
13:00 - 13:45: Treatment demonstration (videotape)
14:00 - 15:00: Consciousness: the integration of interoception with exteroception
15:15 – 16:15: Holistic clinical reasoning that is sensory supportive to enhance mental health functioning.
Case Study: Vestibular-visual integration to support childhood anxiety
