The SENSES Model

SENSES model has been developed through many years of applying the theory and practice of Ayres Sensory Integration, mental health supports and functional skill development in clinic with diverse populations. From children to adults, the SENSES model is exploring a client centred and strengths based approach to therapy, using an occupational lens. We know that we are sensory beings, so the SENSES model uses this to guide others to understand how they can use their sensory systems to change how they are feeling and what they can do on a day-to-day basis. This episode covers the ins and outs of the SENSES model, what it means, how it was developed and how it can be applied to diverse needs. From Sensory Integration to Support and Socialisaiton, the SENSES model aims to bring a Neuroaffirming model to Occupational Therapy Clinical Practice.    If you liked something we talked about, or you learned something from listening to us, share it with your friends,  family, uni classmates or colleagues. The more people who know about occupational therapy, the better!  If you have any questions you'd like answered, please send a question to the integration station via Instagram or our email [email protected]
