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. \n\n \n Enrollment Form\n \n \nInternational Location\n4/F Star House\n3 Salisbury Road\nTsim Sha Tsui\, Kowloon\, Hong Kong \nSchedule\nSaturday\, February 16\, 2019\, 9:00am – 5:00pm HKT \nLevel\nIntroductory \nInstructor\nSheila M.

It is a voluntary act. Active listening is dynamic and continually adapting. Listening requires the desire to communicate and the ability to focus the ear on certain sounds selected for discrimination and interpretation. An individual actively listens and directs attention to sounds in the environment with the whole body. \nThrough the dedicated work of Sensory Integration by Dr. Jean Ayres and many others\, we have learned the way in which we take in\, process and adapt to sensations within our internal and external environment and that it has a direct impact on functional skills and occupational performance. Just as the vestibular\, somatosensory and visual systems play significant roles in sensory integrative treatment\, the auditory system has widespread connections to the brain and entire body. Thus\, the use of auditory-based therapy tools may be used to support improved sensory processing and integration—ultimately enhancing function. \nThis three-day workshop presents an evidence-based protocol\, which combines a sound-based intervention with sensory integrative activities to create a comprehensive approach that is effective for diverse populations with sensory challenges. Introductory topics will be discussed\, moving to in-depth instruction of Advanced Therapeutic Listening® and the application of the Quickshift™ albums. \nWho Should Attend:\nOccupational therapists\, speech/language pathologists\, physical therapists\, psychologists\, physicians\, educators\, special educators\, physical educators\, human services professionals and parents.
