SUMMARY:Core Connections - Exploring the Core's Developmental Roots - Live Webinar w/ Recording
DESCRIPTION:Watch this course preview to gain insight into the early foundations for core development that later support and refine arousal regulation\, motor planning\, perceptual-motor skills\, organized behavior\, and engagement in the world around us. \nRecording Access Available!  \nCore Concepts in Action Book – vitalsounds.com \nThis live\, online course (with recording access) 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 from Vital Sounds for the special rate of 15% off when you register for the Core Connections course (S&H fees apply^). Vital Sounds coupon will be provided in course registration receipt. \nTake an additional discount of $15 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously under the same web-order. \nScroll down to Register\nLocation\nOnline with Recording Option* \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \nFriday\, May 3\, 2024\, 8:30am – 5:00pm Central Daylight Time (CDT)\nCheck-in begins at 8:00am CDT\nTest begins at approx. 4:30pm CDT \nLive Webinar Registration Closes:\nFriday\, May 3rd at 7:30am CDT \nRecording Registration Closes:\nTuesday\, May 7th at 10:00am CDT \nCan’t make it on May 3rd?

Listen to Mary and Sheila as they discuss the power of this sensory system!\nBook 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.
