Training Program Requirements

 

 

Following Course I

 

 

You must review your course materials.

 

It is your responsibility to obtain the required material for Course II in advance and to bring them with you to the course.

 

The following material is required for Course II:

 

 

1.  A complete SIPT kit.  Before going to the course, take inventory of the kit components to insure that no pieces are missing.  You may share a kit with one other participant but you must make arrangements to do so before arriving at the course.

 

2.  A SIPT Manual.  NOTE: It is imperative that you have your own SIPT manual since, during the course, you will be using the scoring and administration information from it.  The SIPT manual is also required for course 3.

 

3.  A stopwatch… with an automatic switchback that is continuous running with a 30 or 60 second face.

 

NOTE - SIPT materials will not be available for purchase at Course II. It is your responsibility to obtain the required material in advance and to bring them with you to the course. We have made arrangements with Ramada to lock the SIPT Kits overnight for the period of Course II. Make sure to label your SIPT Kit accordingly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Following Course II

 

Following Course II you are required to:

 

¨ Test at least three typically-developing children to gain familiarity with the administration of the SIPT.  You will document this testing by recording the child’s first name only and the date they were tested on the application for certification.

 

¨ Evaluate one child (Child A) who has difficulties e.g. learning, attention, self-regulation or behaviour.  You must bring this case, fully scored, to Course III (see information below). 

 

¨ Engage in peer review of test administration skills. Peer review consists of administering the SIPT with someone familiar with the SIPT.  This person can be someone previously certified or another Course II participant. See Peer Review Form attached. The child tested during the peer review should, preferably, have identified difficulties e.g. learning, attention, self-regulation or behaviour. The test subject could be Child A.

 

 

In preparation for Course III

 

¨ Score & generate a SIPT Test Report on Child A.

 

¨ Bring the entire SIPT test report of Child A with you. 

 

¨Copy the SIPT bar graph from this case:

1.      1 bar graph copied onto a transparency sheet

2.      5 copies of the bar graph on regular paper

 

¨Provide a one-page typed summary of the case of Child A including (Case Information form enclosed):

1.      Presenting problems or referral information

2.      Brief summary of background information

3.      Any available structured or unstructured clinical observations

4.      3- to 5-minute videotape of the child (Authorization Form enclosed) For Course III, this video is optional. However, for Course IV this video is mandatory. Videotaping of a child is highly recommended, as cases with videos tend to be chosen first for discussion.

 

The video does not have to be of the child during therapy; however, we do hope that some of the participants will bring therapy sessions for analysis.  If the video is not of intervention, free play or assessment footage is preferred.  Footage taken by the family is permitted.  Regardless of where the videotaped coverage is occurring, it is important that you capture the child's areas of concern relative to tactile, vestibular and proprioceptive systems.  For example, if you believe that the child has vestibular processing issues, you will want to videotape this child's interaction with some type of movement experiences.

 

¨ Bring a SIPT Manual with you to the course (sharing of the manual between registrants is not possible).

 

 

 

 

 

In preparation for Course IV:

 

 

For those taking all four courses and applying for certification:

¨ Evaluate one child (Child B) who has difficulties e.g. learning, attention, self-regulation or behaviour. 

 

¨ Score & generate a SIPT Test Report on Child B.

 

¨Provide a one-page typed summary of the case of Child B including (Case Information form enclosed):

5.      Presenting problems or referral information

6.      Brief summary of background information

7.      Any available structured or unstructured clinical observations

8.      3- to 5-minute videotape of Child B (Authorization Form enclosed). This video is mandatory.

 

For those taking Course I and Course IV only:

¨ Background information on one child between the ages of 6 months and 16 years who needs intervention.  The child may or may not already be in therapy.  Be prepared to present the background history, reason for referral, evaluation data (SIPT preferred but not essential), and other salient information.  (Case Information Form enclosed.)

 

¨ A video of the child is required.  The video does not have to be of the child during therapy however we do hope that some of the participants will bring therapy sessions for analysis.  If the video is not of intervention, free play or assessment footage is preferred.  Footage taken by the family is permitted.  Regardless of where the videotaped coverage is occurring, it is important that you capture the child's areas of concern relative to tactile, vestibular and proprioceptive systems.  For example, if you believe that the child has vestibular processing issues, you will want to videotape this child's interaction with some type of movement experiences.  (Authorization for assessment and videotape must be obtained from the child’s guardian.  Authorization forms are enclosed for your use.)
