Sheila Frick, OTR/L and Gail Ritchie, OTR/L, C/NDT join together for a NEW and innovative online workshop. Sheila and Gail will highlight the power in merging precise activation of the postural system with the sensory systems. They will introduce not only key concepts related to postural alignment and crucial sensory systems, but how to effectively blend this knowledge into practical, treatment oriented strategies using familiar clinical equipment: gym balls, scooter boards, and a variety of swings.
This course will provide a new appreciation and understanding for the interaction of the vestibular-visual-auditory triad and the somatosensory system in supporting postural control and alignment with your clients. Similarly, clinicians will discuss when clients are unable to achieve postural alignment how integration of the sensory systems may be impacted. Through a variety of in-clinic video demonstrations using movement equipment, participants will recognize how to use NDT handling skills to improve alignment and postural activation as a preparatory strategy for precise activation of the sensory systems. Additionally, video examples will be used to illustrate handling strategies necessary to gain postural alignment and activation, and stimulate specific sensory input on a variety of swings.
