Why is it important to know the difference? Inattention, distractibility, fidgeting, acting without thinking, aggressive or defiant behaviors could be behaviorally oriented or could perhaps have an underlying sensory deficit or a mixture of both. Authors Carolyn Murray-Slutsky, OTR and Betty A. Paris, PT explain that behaviors result from multiple causes & can¿t be addressed in a linear fashion with any one single strategy. This great resource is highly recommended for both PT and OT clinicians to help unravel the mysteries of why children adopt certain behaviors.

The authors address temper tantrums, environmental modifications, and sensory diets. Two case studies are included in this course.
