Use of Sound in Sensorimotor Integrative Treatment - South Africa Course DESCRIPTION:In this one-day workshop\, we will explore the therapeutic application of Quickshifts and how these sound tools can be used to quickly shift states of alertness and set up the nervous system for optimal success. Participants will learn about Quickshifts’ theoretical underpinnings such as binaural beat technology\, musical entrainment\, the encoded movement patterns found in music\, and how accessing whole-brain processing further promotes basic and higher-level functions and processes. In addition\, participants will learn the specific musical qualities and various clinical applications of each Quickshift album. Audio samples\, case presentations\, and video examples will be provided so that participants gain first-hand experience with these sound tools. By the end of the workshop\, participants will be able to implement the use of Quickshifts into their practice settings and will understand how to select the best musical match between album and client to optimize therapy goals and outcomes.

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. \nTake an additional discount of $20 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously. Discount applied at checkout. Enrollment Brochure\nLocation\nOnline* \nSchedule\nFull Agenda\nFriday\, June16\, 2017\, 9:00am – 5:00pm CDT\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CDT on day one. \nLevel\nIntroductory \nInstructor\nGail Ritchie; OTR/L\, C/NDT \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.

Sheila and Gail will highlight the power in merging precise activation of the postural system with the sensory systems. They will introduce not only key concepts related to postural alignment and crucial sensory systems\, but how to effectively blend this knowledge into practical\, treatment oriented strategies using familiar clinical equipment: gym balls\, scooter boards\, and a variety of swings. \nThis course will provide a new appreciation and understanding for the interaction of the vestibular-visual-auditory triad and the somatosensory system in supporting postural control and alignment with your clients. Similarly\, clinicians will discuss when clients are unable to achieve postural alignment how integration of the sensory systems may be impacted. Through a variety of in-clinic video demonstrations using movement equipment\, participants will recognize how to use NDT handling skills to improve alignment and postural activation as a preparatory strategy for precise activation of the sensory systems.  Additionally\, video examples will be used to illustrate handling strategies necessary to gain postural alignment and activation\, and stimulate specific sensory input on a variety of swings. \n  \nTake an additional discount of $20 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously.

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. \nTake an additional discount of $15 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously. Printable Brochure\nLocation\nOnline* \nSchedule\nFull Agenda\nFriday\, October 20\, 2017\, 9:00am – 5:00pm CDT\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CDT.\nTest begins at approx. 4:30pm CDT. \nCan’t make it on October 20th? A recording of the course will be available from October 24th to November 7th.
