SUMMARY:Astronaut Training - A Sound Activated Vestibular-Visual Protocol
DESCRIPTION:Book included with course \nWithout clear information coming from the vestibular system\, sights and sounds in the environment do not make sense – they are only isolated pieces of information disconnected from each other and from the meaningful whole. It is integration of sensory information that holds the key for finding meaning in the world. This two-day course will explore the connections of the vestibular-visual-auditory triad and their subsequent impact on function. Additionally\, this course will provide participants with a precise template for intervention strategies\, including administration of Astronaut Training. \nRegistration includes the handbook\, Astronaut Training: A Sound Activated Vestibular-Visual Protocol for Moving\, Looking and Listening and its companion CD. \nTake an additional discount of $20 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously. \n        \n            Enrollment Brochure\n        \n    \nLocation\nOnline* \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \nDay 1: Friday\, May 5\, 2017\, 9:00am – 4:35pm CDT\nDay 2: Saturday\, May 6\, 2017\, 9:00am – 4:35pm CDT\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CDT on day one & day two. \nLevel\nIntroductory \nInstructors\nMary Kawar; M.S.\, OT/L\nSheila M.

SUMMARY:Building Blocks for Sensory Integration
DESCRIPTION:Discounted Therapy Ball Bundle available at Checkout \nThis two-day\, online course provides practitioners 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. Demonstrations\, movement labs and video case examples will highlight treatment strategies that can be implemented with and without therapy equipment\, making them appropriate for all clinical settings. \nReceive the Gertie Ball and Power Up Ball for the special rate of $25 when you add the Therapy Ball Bundle to your course registration. Contact Us for more details. \nTake an additional discount of $20 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously. \n        \n            Enrollment Brochure\n        \n    \nLocation\nOnline* \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \nDay 1: Friday\, May 12\, 2017\, 9:00am – 4:15pm CDT\nDay 2: Saturday\, May 13\, 2017\, 9:00am – 4:45pm CDT\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CDT on day one & day two. \nLevel\nIntroductory \nInstructors\nSheila M.

SUMMARY:Trauma Informed Approach to Sensory Processing Disorder and Arousal Regulation
DESCRIPTION:Save nearly $100\nWhen you register for both this course &\nthe May 18th Quickshifts webinar\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. This live\, one-day online course will explore the connections between trauma\, sensory processing and sensory integrative difficulties. We will also provide a brief overview of the tension reducing technique\, known as TRE®\, as a means of demonstrating how the body retains stress in core muscular tension patterns. Further\, we will examine how the addition of TRE® to a sensory integrative and developmental frame has subsequently informed new thinking around trauma\, sensory modulation and sensory integration. Video and case presentations will bring key concepts and treatment strategies to life in this theoretically based\, yet practical course. \nRegistration includes a Gertie Ball\, a Power Up Ball and a Pinky Ball. \nTake an additional discount of $20 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously. Discount applied at checkout. \n        \n            Enrollment Brochure\n        \n    \nLocation\nOnline \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \nFriday\, May 19\, 2017\, 9:00am – 4:45pm CDT\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CDT\nQuiz approx. 4:00pm-4:30pm CDT \n**Note: if enrolling after 5:00pm CDT on 2017/05/18\, webinar access information\nwill be provided after 8:15am CDT on 2017/05/19.
