Degree courses in Sensory Processing disorder

[canteatcustard]

Which universities have a course on this subject? anyone know?
wondering if it would be a useful subject to study.

You’d need to check if any psychology courses include a module on this.

As a SEN parent there is no profession that deals with this, just like there are no degree courses on dyslexia, you'd need to study either to be a HCP, or something like psychology.
But it's also true that many professionals and theories don't think this is a separate disorder. My DS has ADHD and some sensory difficulties. The psychiatrist said these are seen as symptoms, common in a lot of developmental diseases, not an actual disorder.

So if you study this subject to a higher level you would need to study human psychology first? I have always thought that it's a symptoms rather than a formal diagnosis. So have been slightly confused by the term as it could apply so widely.

I wonder if Occupational Therapy covers it?

It’s covered by occupational therapists. They do additional qualifications in it.

It is defo Occupational Therapy. However I think it's an additional qualifcation in sensory intergration on top of the basic OT one.

Edge Hill University does a degree in educational psychology (www.edgehill.ac.uk/courses/educational-psychology/tab/course-in-depth/). I don't know whether that covers what you're looking for.

That won't be a professional qualification, it's a postgrad degree.

OTs help people with sensory processing challenges. They also help with a huge range of other things (my DS has seen OTs for several years for various things related to his autism, including but not limited to sensory processing problems).

You would need a paediatric occupational therapy qualification with a specialism not educational psychology
