SUMMARY:Embodied Sensation: Harnessing the Power of Interoception and Proprioception- Live Webinar w/ Recording
DESCRIPTION:Updated Course: Expanded Content for One-Day of Learning!\nRecording Access Available! \nProprioception and interoception are frequently discussed within the field of occupational therapy to describe one’s awareness of their body position relative to the world around them and internal signals. For individuals who experience difficulties with sensory modulation and sensory processing\, inadequate interoceptive and proprioceptive awareness may contribute to struggles with body awareness\, breath regulation\, adaptable states of arousal\, organized movement and praxis\, and regulation and awareness of homeostatic functions and affective emotion. 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-referencing and body mapping for enhanced sense of our physical and emotional self. 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. \nReceive the Gertie Ball and Power Up Ball from Vital Sounds for the special rate of 15% off when you register for the Embodied Sensation: Harnessing the Power of Interoception and Proprioception course (S&H fees apply^).

SUMMARY:Exploring Therapeutic Listening in Practice: A Mentorship Series
DESCRIPTION:The Listening with the Whole Body Course is Just the Beginning.\nJoin the Vital Links Team for the evolution of Therapeutic Listening with the upcoming 5-week small group Mentorship series. In this video\, Sheila and Tracy share the background regarding the aim of this series and the goal of partnering with the Vital Links community to support the implementation of Therapeutic Listening among practitioners. We hope you can join us! \n \nCourse Description\nFormalized mentorship opportunities provide a platform for practicing therapists to expand their skills\, participate in rich discussions\, and enhance their clinical reasoning process to ultimately support professional growth and development. This 5-week Therapeutic Listening® mentorship series will explore the use and clinical applications of all the Therapeutic Listening libraries among participants who have previously completed the ‘Listening with the Whole Body’ training course. \nParticipants will need to submit one case\, over the course of the series\, where Therapeutic Listening has been utilized as part of a larger treatment protocol. Participants will be encouraged to utilize a provided case presentation template (including initial assessment findings\, key insight gained from the Functional Listening Questionnaire and caregiver/client interview\, and individualized music progressions) to share their own cases and accompanying questions related to the individualized implementation of Therapeutic Listening with their clients. \nTo support the translation of research into practice\, participants will also examine the existing research on Therapeutic Listening and analyze how this information may influence future clinical use of this therapeutic tool. Each session\, instructors will provide adjunct lectures and clinical case examples on topics related to the successful implementation of Therapeutic Listening and expanding clinical reasoning skills\, including case-study examples of how different clinical pictures benefit from different Therapeutic Listening progressions and unique elements of music; identifying and combining complementary therapeutic treatments with Therapeutic Listening; and the importance of understanding state and arousal regulation when matching music. By the end of this interactive series\, instructors aim to expand and broaden therapists’ use and understanding of Therapeutic Listening to enrich their own clinical practice. \n*This is a small group learning experience\, seats are limited\, and live course attendance is expected.

SUMMARY:Power Up for Participation: Ready\, Steady\, Go! – Live International Course
DESCRIPTION:Live International Course\n\nIncreased participation and meaningful engagement in daily life are vital treatment outcomes within occupational therapy and allied health professions. However\, from a developmental\, body-based\, sensory integrative approach\, prior to participation it is essential to organize the body for regulated engagement across all environments and tasks. \nThis two-day course will introduce participants to the clinical reasoning template of “Ready\, Steady\, Go” which blends theory\, assessment\, and treatment activities into one approach. Ready\, Steady\, Go serves as a guiding template to structure treatment from the basis of regulating one’s physiological arousal and organizing movement within time and space as a precursor to participation in all aspects of life. \nLecture content will convey the importance of breath\, emotional motor system\, embodied self-awareness\, and state regulation (“Ready”); working from the ground up to establish stable and dynamic postural control in conjunction with organization of the eyes and ears (“Steady”); and developing coordinated movement within three-dimensional space and as key foundations for accessing higher-level skills of self-monitoring and sustained attention (“Go”). \nTheoretical lectures will be supplemented by video examples and interactive treatment labs where participants will be introduced to assessment and treatment activities that correspond with each of the three components of the approach. This course will be appropriate for occupational therapists and other health professionals working in private practice\, school\, or home environments as discussions will include how to adapt principles for individuals or groups/classrooms. \nWho Should Attend:\nOccupational therapists\, speech/language pathologists\, physical therapists\, psychologists\, and other interested allied health providers. \n\n		\n		Register Here! \n		\nThis course is sponsored by an outside organization and all registrations are managed through their organization. You may register by completing their online course Registration Form. Vital Links does not manage registrations for this course. \n\n		\nLocation\nPenrith RSL – 8 Tindale Street\, Penrith – Australia \nSchedule\nDay 1: Thursday\, October 12\, 2023\, 8:00am – 5:00pm GMT + 10\nDay 2: Friday\, October 13\, 2023\, 8:00am – 5:00pm GMT + 10 \nLevel\nIntroductory \nInstructors\nSheila M. Frick; OTR/L \nCourse Objectives\nUpon completion of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify when an individual is not in a state of readiness to participate in the activity at hand.\nSelect at least three treatment activities appropriate to support steadiness.\nRecognize how “Ready\,” Steady\,” and “Go” activities may shift depending upon the individual in the moment and intended functional participation outcome.\nDiscuss and adapt “Ready\, Steady\, Go” principles to suit the needs of a classroom or individual family.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrintable Brochure

SUMMARY:Finding Safety and Stability: A Trauma-Informed Sensory Motor Approach - Live Webinar w/ Recording
DESCRIPTION:Take an Inside Look at the Course\nListen to a preview of the Finding Safety and Stability Course to learn more about the power of proprioception and fascia; especially\, when supporting individuals who have a history of increased stress and/or trauma.\n \nAvailable as a Recording! \nTherapists and other professionals who work with individuals with sensory and developmental disorders (e.g. autism spectrum\, attention deficit\, learning disabilities) often encounter clients with difficulties related to developmental trauma. Traumatic events may be overt\, such as early loss of a primary caregiver; sexual\, physical or emotional abuse; or domestic\, community and school violence. Trauma may also be innocent\, such as early hospitalization and necessary lifesaving medical procedures in the neonatal intensive care unit. Exposure to adverse life experiences has been shown to increase the likelihood of social\, emotional and developmental delays. Furthermore\, children with developmental delays have a higher risk of being subjected to experiences involving physical\, emotional and sexual abuse. \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. \nThis live\, one-day\, online course will explore the connections between trauma\, sensory processing and sensory integrative difficulties. Participants will learn how sound and movement are critical in the development of body based\, perceptual motor\, and social emotional foundations for feeling safe in the world and in relationship to another. Treatment labs will explore the basics of auditory and vestibular/somatosensory processing\, and their relationship to arousal\, attachment\, self-regulation\, and learning. Video and case presentations will bring key concepts and treatment strategies to life in this theoretically-based\, yet practical course. \nReceive the Gertie Ball\, Power Up Ball\, and Pinky Ball from Vital Sounds for the special rate of 15% off when you register for the Finding Safety and Stability course (S&H fees apply^).

SUMMARY:Finding Safety and Stability: A Trauma-Informed Sensory Motor Approach - Live Webinar w/ Recording
DESCRIPTION:Take an Inside Look at the Course\nListen to a preview of the Finding Safety and Stability Course to learn more about the power of proprioception and fascia; especially\, when supporting individuals who have a history of increased stress and/or trauma.\n \nAvailable as a Recording! \nTherapists and other professionals who work with individuals with sensory and developmental disorders (e.g. autism spectrum\, attention deficit\, learning disabilities) often encounter clients with difficulties related to developmental trauma. Traumatic events may be overt\, such as early loss of a primary caregiver; sexual\, physical or emotional abuse; or domestic\, community and school violence. Trauma may also be innocent\, such as early hospitalization and necessary lifesaving medical procedures in the neonatal intensive care unit. Exposure to adverse life experiences has been shown to increase the likelihood of social\, emotional and developmental delays. Furthermore\, children with developmental delays have a higher risk of being subjected to experiences involving physical\, emotional and sexual abuse. \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. \nThis live\, one-day\, online course will explore the connections between trauma\, sensory processing and sensory integrative difficulties. Participants will learn how sound and movement are critical in the development of body based\, perceptual motor\, and social emotional foundations for feeling safe in the world and in relationship to another. Treatment labs will explore the basics of auditory and vestibular/somatosensory processing\, and their relationship to arousal\, attachment\, self-regulation\, and learning. Video and case presentations will bring key concepts and treatment strategies to life in this theoretically-based\, yet practical course. \nReceive the Gertie Ball\, Power Up Ball\, and Pinky Ball from Vital Sounds for the special rate of 15% off when you register for the Finding Safety and Stability course (S&H fees apply^).

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 from Vital Sounds for the special rate of 15% off when you register for the Core Connections course (S&H fees apply^).

SUMMARY:Embodied Sensation: Harnessing the Power of Interoception and Proprioception- Live w/ Recording
DESCRIPTION:Updated Course: Expanded Content for One-Day of Learning!\nRecording Access Available! \nProprioception and interoception are frequently discussed within the field of occupational therapy to describe one’s awareness of their body position relative to the world around them and internal signals. For individuals who experience difficulties with sensory modulation and sensory processing\, inadequate interoceptive and proprioceptive awareness may contribute to struggles with body awareness\, breath regulation\, adaptable states of arousal\, organized movement and praxis\, and regulation and awareness of homeostatic functions and affective emotion. 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-referencing and body mapping for enhanced sense of our physical and emotional self. 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\nFull Agenda\nFriday\, March 3\, 2023\, 9:00am – 4:45pm Central Standard Time (CST)\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CST\nTest begins at approx. 4:15pm CST \nLive Webinar Registration Closes:\nFriday\, March 3rd at 7:30am CST \nRecording Registration Closes:\nTuesday\, March 7th at 10:00am CST \nCan’t make it on March 3rd?
