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.

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: Saturday\, February 4\, 2017\, 9:00am – 4:35pm CST\nDay 2: Sunday\, February 5\, 2017\, 9:00am – 4:35pm CST\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CST on day one & day two. \nLevel\nIntroductory \nCourse Objectives\nUpon completion of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain the connections between connections between the vestibular\, auditory and visual systems.\nDescribe the reciprocal interaction between the Vestibular-Auditory-Visual Triad and the core postural muscles.\nIdentify the importance of providing precise input to each of the five vestibular receptors.\nApply powerful new tools to expand your clinical skills\, including specific activities to develop and enhance core function.\nAdminister the Astronaut Training: A Sound Activated Vestibular-Visual Protocol safely and effectively.\n\n\nScroll to the bottom of the page to Register.\n\n		\n		Continuing Ed \n		\n \nVital Links is an AOTA approved provider of continuing education.
