SUMMARY:Embodied Sensation: Harnessing the Power of Interoception and Proprioception- Live Webinar w/ Recording
DESCRIPTION:Updated Course: Expanded Content for One-Day of Learning!\nRecording Access Available! \nProprioception and interoception are frequently discussed within the field of occupational therapy to describe one’s awareness of their body position relative to the world around them and internal signals. For individuals who experience difficulties with sensory modulation and sensory processing\, inadequate interoceptive and proprioceptive awareness may contribute to struggles with body awareness\, breath regulation\, adaptable states of arousal\, organized movement and praxis\, and regulation and awareness of homeostatic functions and affective emotion. Effective treatment strategies aim to modulate sensation\, and support proprioceptive and interoceptive balance within the context of meaningful occupational participation. \nDrawing from current science\, this course will explore the neurological and anatomical foundations for proprioception\, interoception\, and vestibular processing. Practical application and discussions will illuminate how these sensations play a key role in self-referencing and body mapping for enhanced sense of our physical and emotional self. Therapists will leave this course with a comprehensive understanding of these key therapeutic concepts\, along with a variety of practical and precise therapeutic activities that can be implemented across environments. \nReceive the Gertie Ball and Power Up Ball from Vital Sounds for the special rate of 15% off when you register for the Embodied Sensation: Harnessing the Power of Interoception and Proprioception 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\, March 7\, 2025\, 9:00am – 4:45pm Central Standard Time (CST)\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CST\nTest begins at approx. 4:15pm CST \nLive Webinar Registration Closes:\nFriday\, March 7th at 7:30am CST \nRecording Registration Closes:\nTuesday\, March 11th at 10:00am CDT \nCan’t make it on March 7?

SUMMARY:Astronaut Training - A Sound Activated Vestibular-Visual Protocol - Live In-Person Course
DESCRIPTION:Live In-Person 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 Astronaut Training. \nWho Should Attend:\nOccupational therapists\, speech/language pathologists\, physical therapists\, educators\, human services professionals\, and other medical professionals. Graduating students or graduate students of the aforementioned fields are also welcome. \nCertification:\nParticipants will receive a certification in the Astronaut Training Protocol. This course provides participants with the necessary background information to immediately begin incorporating Astronaut Training into their programs. \nRegister\nThis course is sponsored by an outside organization and all registrations are managed through their organization. You may register by visiting their website: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/astronaut-training-a-sound-activated-vestibular-visual-protocol-tickets-1205711077289?aff=oddtdtcreator \nVital Links does not manage registrations for this course. \nLocation\nChildServe \n5406 Merle Hay Road \nJohnston\, IA 50131 \nSchedule\nDay 1: Friday\, March 28\, 2025\, 8:30-9:00am – Registration /  9:00am-5:00pm – Class\nDay 2: Saturday\, March 29\, 2025\, 9:00am – 5:00pm\nLunch breaks each day. \nLevel\nIntroductory \nInstructors\nMary Kawar; M.S.\, OT/L \nSheila M.
