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.

SUMMARY:Posture & 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. \nTake an additional discount of $15 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously. \n        \n            Printable Brochure\n        \n    \nLocation\nOnline* \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \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.

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 neuro-physiological links between sensory integration and the basic primary movement patterns that provide the foundation (or building blocks) for sensory modulation and integration.

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. \nTake an additional discount of $20 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously. \n        \n            Printable Brochure\n        \n    \nLocation\nOnline* \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \nDay 1: Sunday\, October 29\, 2017\, 9:00am – 4:15pm CDT\nDay 2: Monday\, October 30\, 2017\, 9:00am – 4:45pm CDT\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CST/CDT on day one & day two.\nTest begins at approx. 4:15pm CST/CDT on day two. \n*If registering after 5:00pm CDT on Friday\, October 27th\, Course Instructions will be emailed after 8:15am CDT on Sunday\, October 29th.
