SUMMARY:Core Connections - Exploring the Core's Developmental Roots - Live Webinar w/ Recording
DESCRIPTION:Core Connections Case Preview: Supporting our clients from assessment through treatment into meaningful occupational engagement! \nRecording Access Available!  \nCore Concepts in Action Book – vitalsounds.com \nThis live\, online course (with recording access) will provide therapists with a clear description of musculoskeletal make-up of the “core” and will cover the research-based neurophysiological rationale for evaluating core development and function in individuals with sensory processing difficulties. Core function will be explored from its developmental roots in the unfolding of the primary movement patterns (innate reflex development). Two key patterns (Moro and Tonic Labyrinthine) and their connections to core development and self-regulation will be discussed. A specific play-based observation tool that identifies core movement challenges and assists in prioritizing treatment strategies will be presented and explored through movement labs. Along with assessment\, a variety of hands-on treatment strategies will be demonstrated through interactive\, online labs. Video case presentation will be used to show practical clinical applications. \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 (S&H fees may apply^). \nTake an additional discount of $15 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously under the same web-order. \nScroll down to Register\nLocation\nOnline with Recording Option* \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \nFriday\, December 3\, 2021\, 8:30am – 5:00pm Central Daylight Time (CST)\nCheck-in begins at 8:00am CST\nTest begins at approx. 4:30pm CST \nLive Webinar Registration Closes:\nFriday\, December 3rd at 6:30am CST \nRecording Registration Closes:\nSunday\, December 5th at 5:00pm CST \nCan’t make it on December 3rd?

SUMMARY:Embodied Sensation: Harnessing the Power of Interoception and Proprioception
DESCRIPTION:Join Sheila Frick for her New Course!\n \nRecording Access Available! \nProprioception and interoception are frequently discussed within the field of occupational therapy to describe one’s awareness of their internal body signals. For individuals who experience difficulties with sensory modulation and sensory processing\, inadequate interoceptive and proprioceptive awareness may contribute to struggles with body awareness\, adaptable states of arousal\, motor control\, and regulation and awareness of homeostatic functions. Effective treatment strategies aim to modulate sensation\, and support proprioceptive and interoceptive balance within the context of meaningful occupational participation. \nDrawing from current science\, this course will explore the neurological and anatomical foundations for proprioception\, interoception\, and vestibular processing. Practical application and discussions will illuminate how these sensations play a key role in self-sensing\, body mapping for enhanced body scheme\, and self-regulation. Therapists will leave this course with a comprehensive understanding of these key therapeutic concepts\, along with a variety of practical and precise therapeutic activities that can be implemented across environments. \nScroll down to Register\nLocation\nOnline with Recording Option* \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \nMonday\, December 6\, 2021\, 9:00am – 12:45pm Central Standard Time (CST)\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CST\nTest begins at approx. 12:15pm CST \nLive Webinar Registration Closes:\nMonday\, December 6th at 6:30am CST \nRecording Registration Closes:\nTuesday\, December 7th at 8:00am CST \nCan’t make it on December 6th?

SUMMARY:Astronaut Training - A Sound Activated Vestibular-Visual Protocol - Live Webinar
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. \nWho Should Attend:\nOccupational therapists\, speech/language pathologists\, physical therapists\, educators\, human services professionals\, and other medical professionals. Graduating students or graduate students of the aforementioned fields are also welcome. \nCertification:\nParticipants will receive a certification in the Astronaut Training Protocol. This course provides participants with the necessary background information to immediately begin incorporating Astronaut Training into their programs. \nRegistration includes the handbook\, Astronaut Training: A Sound Activated Vestibular-Visual Protocol for Moving\, Looking and Listening and its companion CD (S&H fees may apply^). \nTake an additional discount of $20 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously under the same web-order. \nScroll down to Register\nLocation\nOnline* \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \nDay 1: Sunday\, December 12\, 2021\, 9:00am – 4:35pm Central Standard Time (CST)\nDay 2: Monday\, December 13\, 2021\, 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. \nLevel\nIntroductory \nInstructors\nMary Kawar; M.S.\, OT/L\nSheila M.
