Certification
in Sensory Integration from the USC/WPS Comprehensive Program in Sensory Integration, including administering and interpreting
the SIPT, is issued to health professionals who have completed 120 contact hours of attendance and all of the requirements
for the four courses entitled:
The Sensory Integration Perspective
Specialized Techniques for Measuring Sensory Integration
From Interpretation to Intervention
Sensory Integration Intervention
Requirements for
completion of the Comprehensive Program in Sensory Integration are as follows:
Course I Following
Course 1, participants must review their course materials.
Course II
Following Course 2, to gain familiarity with the administration of the SIPT, participants must document their testing of three typically developing children; see Authorization for Assessment
forms. Also,
following Course 2, participants must engage in peer review of test administration skills. Peer review
consists of administering the SIPT with someone else who has completed Course 2 or equivalent training and checking your accuracy by viewing the training video; peer review
copy must be attached to the application for certification.
Course III Prior to Course 3, participants must use the
SIPT to test a child with identified problems and prepare their case for presentation. When attending Course
3 participants are required to bring the SIPT test report of
this child
along with the SIPT bar graph from this case copied onto a transparency sheet and the following
information summarized and typed on a single page: presenting problems or referral information, a brief summary of the child’s background and any
available structured and/or unstructured clinical observations.
This case study may be reviewed during Course 3 and it is recommended that students bring a brief video
of the test subject to the course, but this is not required. The profile
of the child tested (page 1) and the
bar graph
(page 2) from the SIPT test report must be attached to the application for certification.
Course IV When attending Course 4, participants are required to bring a case study,
including SIPT scores, and a video recording of the child. The profile of the child tested (page 1) and the bar graph (page 2) from the SIPT test
report must be attached to the application for certification. Following Course 4, submit application for certification and include the Peer Review, the Profile
(page 1) and the Bar Graph (page 2) from the SIPT Tests/Case Studies.
NOTE: WPS will provide the certification within
90 days of the receipt of the application from the participant. Missing or inadequate
information will delay this process.
