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            Printable Brochure\n        \n    \nLocation\nOnline* \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \nDay 1: Friday\, February 9\, 2018\, 9:00am – 4:35pm CST\nDay 2: Saturday\, February 10\, 2018\, 9:00am – 4:35pm CST\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CST on day one & day two.\nTest begins at approx. 4:05pm CST on day two. \n*If registering after 5:00pm CST on Thursday\, February 8th\, Course Instructions will be emailed during the check-in period on Friday\, February 9th.
