SUMMARY:Sharpening Focus - Fine Tuning Therapeutic Listening Progressions
DESCRIPTION:Recording Access Available! \nAdvanced Therapeutic Listening® to address Attention\, Learning & Praxis difficulties\n‘Sharpening Focus’ takes you beyond the basics of matching music to a client’s needs and teaches an understanding of the specific use and application of a variety of electronic modifications of sound. This course will assist the practitioner trained in the basics of modulated music to gain a deeper knowledge of how challenges with audition and auditory processing disrupt attention\, learning\, and praxis. All aspects of the advanced use of Therapeutic Listening will be explored. While the focus will be on the Fine Tuning libraries\, we will also discuss clinically reasoning when to use selections from the various libraries (Modulated\, Fine Tuning\, Spatially Enhanced and Quickshifts)\, as well as\, how to effectively blend them into an individualized treatment protocol. In addition\, a new tool\, the Forbrain®\, will be introduced for use in Therapeutic Listening protocols. Case and video presentations will be featured to show practical\, clinical applications. \nScroll down to Register\n\n        \n            Printable Brochure\n        \n    \nLocation\nOnline with Recording Option* \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \nEvening 1: Tuesday\, October 9\, 2018\, 5:00pm – 8:30pm Central Daylight Time (CDT)\nEvening 2: Wednesday\, October 10\, 2018\, 5:00pm – 8:30pm CDT\nCheck-in begins at 4:30pm CDT on day one & day two.\nTest begins at approx. 8:00pm CDT on evening two. \nRegistration Closes:\nTuesday\, October 9\, 2018 at 4:30pm CDT \nCan’t make it on October 9th and 10th? A recording of the course will be available from October 15th to October 31st.

SUMMARY:Therapeutic Listening Workshop - China Course
DESCRIPTION:Group Discounts Available!\n4-person Registration – 7700 RMB per registrant\n8-person Registration – 6900 RMB per registrant \nListening is the function of the entire brain and goes well beyond stimulating the auditory system. 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 six-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. Graduating students or graduate students of the aforementioned fields are also welcome. \nCertification:\nParticipants will receive a Certification in Therapeutic Listening (Introductory & Advanced) and Quickshifts.\n\n		\n		Register Here! \n		\n\nThis course is sponsored by Health Origins Consulting Company Ltd. and all registrations are managed through their organization.
