The Clinical Use of Sound in Sensorimotor Integrative Treatment: Strategies to Support Regulation, Movement, and Participation – Live Webinar w/ Recording
November 2
| $195.00Create quick shifts in client regulation—in just once session.
For over two decades, sound-based interventions have served as a powerful tool for clinicians working within sensory integration and sensory processing frameworks. In this interactive one-day course, sensory integration pioneer Sheila M. Frick, OTR/L, and Sharron Donnelly, M.S., OTR/L, will guide you through the therapeutic application of sound to facilitate quick shifts in state, enhance sensory modulation, support bilateral motor coordination, and drive functional participation.
Because sound and movement are intrinsically linked in both brain structure and neural function, we’ll examine how specific, targeted sound qualities can be leveraged to promote whole-brain processing, perceptual-motor skills, spatiotemporal organization, and cognition.
Join Sheila and Sharron to elevate your clinical toolkit with fast-acting, evidence-informed sound strategies. You’ll develop the skills and knowledge to:
- Facilitate rapid state changes and regulation using targeted, fast-acting sound interventions.
- Integrate auditory strategies seamlessly into direct treatment, sensory diets, and home programs.
- Strengthen complex sensorimotor functions, including postural activation, bilateral motor coordination, and spatial organization.
- Apply theoretical principles—such as binaural beats and rhythmic entrainment—to real-world pediatric and adult clinical cases.
- Identify the “just-right” musical match to enhance sensory modulation, arousal regulation to support focus and emotional regulation in real time.
Gain the practical tools, clinical insights, and confidence you need to create immediate, meaningful impact for your clients—starting on Monday morning.
