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.

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. 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.

SUMMARY:Quickshifts - Shifting Gears - London Course
DESCRIPTION:This series of albums uses the principles of binaural beat technology and musical entrainment; where albums are specifically selected to match rhythms to clinical outcomes\, such as self-regulation\, bilateral motor coordination\, oculomotor functioning\, reflex integration\, attention\, and focus. Due to the practical implementation and immediate effect of these albums\, they are easily utilized in a variety of environments. Quickshifts can effectively be used in treatment sessions\, home programs\, school setting\, or as a support prior to times of increased anxiety\, such as during transitions. Even more\, you will learn how to solidify changes through treatment strategies that activate movement and the power of the core (posture/breath).

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.

SUMMARY:Core Connections - Exploring the Core's Developmental Roots
DESCRIPTION:Core Concepts in Action Book \nThis live\, online course will provide therapists with a clear description of musculoskeletal make-up of the “core” and will cover the research-based neurophysiological rationale for evaluating core development and function in individuals with sensory processing difficulties. Core function will be explored from its developmental roots in the unfolding of the primary movement patterns (innate reflex development). Two key patterns (Moro and Tonic Labyrinthine) and their connections to core development and self-regulation will be discussed. A specific play-based observation tool that identifies core movement challenges and assists in prioritizing treatment strategies will be presented and explored through movement labs. Along with assessment\, a variety of hands-on treatment strategies will be demonstrated through interactive\, online labs. Video case presentation will be used to show practical clinical applications. \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. \nTake an additional discount of $15 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously under the same web-order.

SUMMARY:Trauma Informed Approach to Sensory Processing Disorder and Arousal Regulation - Chicago Area
DESCRIPTION:There 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.
