SUMMARY:Astronaut Training - A Sound Activated Vestibular-Visual Protocol - New York
DESCRIPTION:Book included with course \nWithout clear information coming from the vestibular system\, sights and sounds in the environment do not make sense – they are only isolated pieces of information disconnected from each other and from the meaningful whole. 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 the Astronaut Training protocol with clients of all ages and diagnoses. \nRegistration includes the handbook\, Astronaut Training: A Sound Activated Vestibular-Visual Protocol for Moving\, Looking and Listening and its companion CD. \n        \n            Enrollment Brochure\n        \n    \nLocation\nNYC Seminar & Conference Center\n71 West 23rd Street\nSuite 515\nNew York\, NY 10010 \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \nDay 1: Sunday\, September 24\, 2017\, 8:30am – 4:30pm EDT\nDay 2: Monday\, September 25\, 2017\, 8:30am – 4:30pm EDT\nCheck-in begins at 8:15am EDT on day one & day two. \nLevel\nIntroductory \nInstructors\nMary Kawar; M.S.\, OT/L\nSheila M.

This two-day\, hands-on course will explore\, from a trauma informed perspective\, the connections  between sensory processing and sensory integrative difficulties. Interactive\, hand-on labs\, videos and case presentations will bring key concepts and treatment strategies to  life in this theoretically based\, yet practical workshop. \n        \n            Enrollment Brochure\n        \n    \nInternational Location\nThe Winston Golf Club\n2502 6 Street NE\nCalgary\, AB T2E 3Z3\, Canada \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \nDay 1: Friday\, September 29\, 2017\, 8:30am – 4:30pm MDT\nDay 2: Saturday\, September 30\, 2017\, 8:30am – 4:30pm MDT\nCheck-in begins at 8:00am MDT on day one and day two. \nLevel\nIntroductory \nInstructor\nSheila M.
