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. Printable Brochure\nLocation\nOnline* \nSchedule\nFull Agenda\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.

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.

Due to the practical implementation and immediate effect of these albums\, they are easily utilized in a variety of environments. Quickshifts can effectively be used in treatment sessions\, home programs\, school setting\, or as a support prior to times of increased anxiety\, such as during transitions. Even more\, you will learn how to solidify changes through treatment strategies that activate movement and the power of the core (posture/breath). Come learn how to develop precise and strategic intervention techniques for the clinic\, home\, and school. \nEnrollment Page\nInternational Location\nHamilton House\nMabledon Place\, Kings Cross\nLondon\, WC1H 9BD\nUnited Kingdom \nSchedule\nFriday\, April 27\, 2018\, 9:00am – 5:00pm GMT \nLevel\nIntroductory \nInstructors\nAnna Richardson; B.Sc.

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. \nRegistration includes the Therapy Ball Trio (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.

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. \nRegistration includes the Therapy Ball Trio (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.

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. Printable Brochure\nLocation\nOnline* \nSchedule\nFull Agenda\nDay 1: Saturday\, October 6\, 2018\, 9:00am – 4:35pm CDT\nDay 2: Sunday\, October 7\, 2018\, 9:00am – 4:35pm CDT\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CDT on day one & day two.\nTest begins at approx. 4:05pm CDT on day two. \n>>If registering after 5:00pm CDT on Friday\, October 5th\, Course Instructions will be emailed during the check-in period on Saturday\, October 6th.
