SUMMARY:Trauma Informed Approach to Sensory Processing Disorder and Arousal Regulation - Alaska
DESCRIPTION:Early Bird Offer!\nEnroll by March 17\, 2020\nusd $375 – AKOTA Members\nusd$475 – Non-Members \nStudent Rate: usd $150 \nTherapy Ball Trio included with course \nThere is a growing understanding\, and accompanying clinical practice that addresses the connection between sensory processing dysfunction and trauma. When an individual cannot adequately process sensory information or traumatic experiences\, the body’s natural defense mechanisms become heightened\, further impacting sensory processing disorder. \nThis two-day\, hands-on course will explore\, from a trauma-informed perspective\, the connections between sensory processing and sensory integrative difficulties. We will also provide a brief introduction to the tension reducing technique\, known as TRE®\, as a means of demonstrating how the body retains stress in core muscular tension patterns. This course will investigate the hardwired action systems that underlie sensory modulation\, arousal\, affect regulation\, and play. A clinical reasoning model for tracking dynamic shifts in state and levels of integration will be presented. Interactive hands-on labs\, video and case presentations will bring key concepts and treatment strategies to life in this theoretically based\, yet practical course. \nWho Should Attend:\nOccupational therapists\, speech/language pathologists\, physical therapists\, psychologists\, physicians\, educators\, social workers\, mental health therapists\, and human services professionals. Graduating students or graduate students of the aforementioned fields are also welcome. \n\n		\n		Click Here to Register! \n		\nThis course is sponsored by the Alaska Occupational Therapy Association (AKOTA) and all registrations are managed through their organization.

Frick; OTR/L \nCourse Objectives\nUpon completion of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nRecognize when patterns of defense are interfering with function and daily life.\nEmploy three body-based strategies to decrease tension patterns and regulate arousal.\nDesign three play-based strategies that support regulation\, arousal\, affect and social engagement.\n\n\n		\n		Click Here to Register! \n		\nThis course is sponsored by the Alaska Occupational Therapy Association (AKOTA) and all registrations are managed through their organization.

SUMMARY:Building Blocks for Sensory Integration - Minneapolis
DESCRIPTION:This course has been cancelled.  \nPlease stay tuned for future course offering dates.  \nIncluded with course \nThis two-day\, experiential course provides therapists with an in-depth understanding of the developmental and neurophysiological links between sensory integration and the basic primary movement patterns that provide the foundation (or building blocks) for sensory modulation and integration. Beginning with support of the primitive reflexes\, we will explore the development of posture and its relationship to gross and fine motor skills along with visual and auditory function. Hands-on demonstrations\, movement labs\, and video examples will highlight treatment strategies that can be implemented with and without therapy equipment\, making them appropriate for all clinical settings. \nRegistration includes a Gertie Ball\, a Power Up Ball and a Pinky Ball. \nTake an additional discount of $25 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously under the same order.

SUMMARY:Quickshifts - Shifting Gears - London
DESCRIPTION:This series of albums uses the principles of binaural beat technology and musical entrainment; where albums are specifically selected to match rhythms to clinical outcomes\, such as self-regulation\, bilateral motor coordination\, oculomotor functioning\, reflex integration\, attention\, and focus. Due to the practical implementation and immediate effect of these albums\, they are easily utilized in a variety of environments. Quickshifts can effectively be used in treatment sessions\, home programs\, school setting\, or as a support prior to times of increased anxiety\, such as during transitions. Even more\, you will learn how to solidify changes through treatment strategies that activate movement and the power of the core (posture/breath). Come learn how to develop precise and strategic intervention techniques for the clinic\, home\, and school. \n\n        \n            Enrollment Page\n        \n    \nInternational Location\nHamilton House\nMabledon Place\, Kings Cross\nLondon\, WC1H 9BD\nUnited Kingdom \nSchedule\nMonday\, April 27\, 2020\, 9:00am – 5:15pm BST \nLevel\nIntroductory \nInstructors\nAnna Richardson; B.Sc.
