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^). Vital Sounds coupon will be provided in course registration receipt. \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* \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \nFriday\, June 23\, 2023\, 9:00am – 4:45pm Central Daylight Time\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CDT\nTest begins at approx. 4:15pm CDT \nLive Webinar Registration Closes:\nFriday\, June 23rd at 7:30am CDT \nRecording Registration Closes:\nTuesday\, June 27th at 10:00am CDT \nCan’t make it on June 23rd?

SUMMARY:Innovative & Effective Uses of Suspension & Non-Suspension Equipment- Live w/ Recording
DESCRIPTION:Innovative & Effective Uses of Suspension & Non-Suspension Equipment: Supporting Performance & Participation Across Environments\nThis one-day equipment and activities based course will explore the possibilities of suspension and non-suspension equipment across environments. Learn how to create\, modify\, and adapt therapy devices that are safe and low-cost for an array of clients in clinics\, homes\, and schools. Straight-forward instruction and demonstration on historically successful construction and installation strategies for suspension equipment will be provided. Beyond activity set-up\, participants will be exposed to a variety of activities utilizing standard sensory integrative equipment often found in clinics and schools (swings\, gym balls\, scooter boards\, etc.)\, as well as activities utilizing everyday objects found in the home (laundry baskets\, blankets\, pillows\, etc.). \nActivity discussions and analysis will be grounded in an introduction to sensory processing and integration of the vestibular\, proprioceptive\, and visual systems and their specialized and complementary functions relative to occupational performance. Furthermore\, participants will learn how to individualize treatment and adapt activities moment-to-moment based upon a client’s unique clinical picture. This course is appropriate for therapists working in a variety of treatment settings looking to enhance their own variety and creative use of equipment to support clients’ functional outcomes. \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* w/ Limited Two-Week Recording Access \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \nMonday\, July 24\, 2023\, 9:00am – 4:15pm Central Daylight Time (CDT)\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CDT\nTest begins at approx. 4:15pm CDT  \nLive Webinar Registration Closes:\nMonday\, July 24th at 7:30am CDT \nRecording Registration Closes:\nWednesday\, July 26th at 10:00am CDT \nCan’t make it on July 24th?
