About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we have Dr. Jane Smith, a renowned psychologist and the lead instructor for the Certified Specialist Programme in Sensory Processing Disorder for Psychologists. Dr. Smith, can you tell us what motivated you to create this course? GUEST: Absolutely, I've seen a growing need for mental health professionals who specialize in SPD. It's a disorder that affects many individuals, particularly children, and can significantly impact their daily lives and learning abilities. HOST: That's true, and I believe the course is designed to provide psychologists with essential skills and knowledge in diagnosing and managing SPD. Can you share some current industry trends relevant to the course? GUEST: Certainly, there's a growing recognition of the importance of early intervention in SPD. The latest research also suggests that a multidisciplinary approach, involving parents, teachers, and healthcare professionals, can lead to better outcomes. HOST: That sounds fascinating. Now, every field has its challenges, what would you say are some of the challenges faced in the field or while learning/teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is the lack of awareness and understanding about SPD, both in the general public and among some healthcare professionals. This can lead to misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment. HOST: I see, and what are your thoughts on the future of this area or industry? GUEST: I believe there's a lot of potential for growth in this field. As awareness and understanding of SPD increase, there will be a greater demand for mental health professionals who specialize in this area. HOST: That's a positive note to end on. Thank you, Dr. Smith, for sharing your insights and experiences with us today. It's been a pleasure learning more about the Certified Specialist Programme in Sensory Processing Disorder for Psychologists. GUEST: Thank you for having me. It's been a pleasure.
