SUMMARY:From Eyesight to Insight - Visual and Vestibular Assessment & Treatment
DESCRIPTION:The Vision Kit – a toolkit utilized by Dr. Hillier & Mary Kawar \nThe development of higher-level performance skills\, including reading\, writing\, and receptive and expressive language\, is dependent upon a strong sensorimotor foundation.

SUMMARY:Posture and Movement - How Does Sensory Integration Fit In?
DESCRIPTION:This webinar was designed to introduce clinicians to the Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT) problem-solving process\, therapeutic handling\, and clinical decision-making process when treating children that display motor and sensory problems within a treatment session. Improving the clinician’s perception regarding the interrelation between the sensory systems\, neuromuscular systems\, and posture and movement (multi-system) will be emphasized. \nThrough video demonstration the participant will recognize multi/single-system integrities and impairments related to functional activities and participation. Identification of neuromuscular and sensory system impairments will be highlighted\, improving the clinician’s observational skills to determine treatment strategies related to the child’s functional outcome. NDT handling strategies addressing both the sensory and neuromuscular impairments simultaneously will be demonstrated via video. \nDiscussion of the clinical decision-making process during a single session will allow the participant to appreciate and acknowledge an integrated approach to children with sensorimotor dysfunction. \nLocation\nOnline \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \nFriday\, December 16\, 2016\, 8:30am – 5:00pm CST \nLevel\nIntroductory \nCourse Objectives\nUpon completion of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the NDT problem-solving process.\nIdentify the multi and single system impairments affecting single session functional outcomes.\nUnderstand the relationship between the neuromuscular and sensory systems related to functional activities and participation.\nIdentify and discuss treatment strategies that simultaneously address the neuromuscular and sensory impairments.\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.

SUMMARY:Building Blocks for Sensory Integration
DESCRIPTION:Discounted Therapy Ball Bundle available at Checkout \nThis two-day\, online course provides therapists with an in-depth understanding of the developmental and neurophysiological links between sensory integration and the basic primary movement patterns that provide the foundation (or building blocks) for sensory modulation and integration. Beginning with support of the primitive reflexes\, we will explore the development of posture and its relationship to gross and fine motor skills along with visual and auditory function. Demonstrations\, movement labs and video case examples will highlight treatment strategies that can be implemented with and without therapy equipment\, making them appropriate for all clinical settings. \nReceive the Gertie Ball and Power Up Ball for the special rate of $25 when you add the Therapy Ball Bundle to your course registration. Contact Us for more details. \n        \n            Enrollment Brochure – Coming Soon\n        \n     \nLocation\nOnline \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \nDay 1: Friday\, January 6\, 2017\, 9:00am – 4:15pm CST\nDay 2: Saturday\, January 7\, 2017\, 9:00am – 4:45pm 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\nDescribe the link between reflex integration\, postural development\, sensory modulation\, and behavioral challenges.\nEvaluate primitive and postural reflex development\, and identify its impact on daily function.\nDesign simple yet powerful strategies for integration across multiple environments.\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.
