In workshop, we will explore the therapeutic application of Quickshifts and how these sound tools can be used to quickly shift states of alertness and set up the nervous system for optimal success. Participants will learn about Quickshifts’ theoretical underpinnings such as binaural beat technology, musical entrainment, the encoded movement patterns found in music, and how accessing whole-brain processing further promotes basic and higher-level functions and processes. In addition, participants will learn the specific musical qualities and various clinical applications of each Quickshift album. Audio samples, case presentations, and video examples will be provided so that participants gain first-hand experience with these sound tools. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to implement the use of Quickshifts into their practice settings and will understand how to select the best musical match between album and client to optimize therapy goals and outcomes.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• • List clinically based observation and movement-based assessment tools that assist in assessing an individual’s bilateral motor-coordination, state regulation and whole-brain processing, and how they relate to functional difficulties of the individual.
  • Identify three movement activities that support vestibular, proprioceptive, auditory and visual functioning.
  • Match Quickshift albums to client’s clinical picture, goals, and functional outcomes.
