SUMMARY:Power and Precision with Comprehensive Vestibular and Proprioceptive Activation
DESCRIPTION:This course offers you the opportunity to enhance your understanding of the vestibular-proprioceptive systems and gain a fresh perspective on treatment activities for your clinical practice. Join Mary Kawar and Sheila Frick as they provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the role of the vestibular and proprioceptive systems in everyday life\, and how participation is ultimately impacted when the functioning of these systems is compromised. Furthermore\, participants will examine the relationship of the vestibular system\, via links to the autonomic nervous system\, to sensory modulation and emotional regulation. In the context of clinical case examples\, participants will gain an understanding of how to precisely analyze\, adapt and apply powerful treatment activities proven to optimize therapeutic objectives and outcomes for clients with diverse functional limitations in a variety of treatment settings (clinic\, school\, and home). Innovative video examples will demonstrate new ways of treating and progressing treatment activities for your clients. This course is open to all therapists interested in augmenting and expanding their understanding of the vestibular-proprioceptive systems. \nLocation\nOnline \nSchedule\n\n        \n            Full Agenda\n        \n    \nSaturday\, September 17\, 2016\, 8:30am – 4:30pm CDT \n**Note: if enrolling after 5:00pm CDT on 9/16/16\, webinar access information\nwill be provided after 8:00am CDT on 9/17/16. Thank you. \nLevel\nIntroductory \nCourse Objectives\nUpon completion of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the functional significance of activating each of the five vestibular receptors.\nDifferentiate between the type of proprioceptive input and the accompanying receptors as it relates to development of body scheme\, modulating hyper-aroused state\, and in preparation for more precise controlled movement.\nDescribe the vestibular-proprioceptive foundation for core activation and arousal regulation.\nIdentify three clinical observations that provide insight into a client’s arousal regulation and signal if the client has tapped into the social engagement circuitry.\nDiscuss five treatment activities utilizing both portable and suspension equipment that activate the vestibular and proprioceptive systems to prep for functional performance.\n\n\nScroll to the bottom of the page to Register.\n\n		\n		Continuing Ed \n		\n \nVital Links is an AOTA approved provider of continuing education.

SUMMARY:Astronaut Training:  A Sound Activated Vestibular-Visual Protocol
DESCRIPTION:Without 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 workshop for Astronaut Training 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. \nLocation\nOnline webinar \nSchedule\nDay 1:\nFriday\, March 18\, 2016\, 9:00am – 5:05pm CDT \nDay 2:\nSaturday\, March 19\, 2016\, 9:00am – 5:05pm CDT \nLevel\nIntroductory \nCourse Objectives\nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain the connections between connections between the vestibular\, auditory and visual systems.\nDescribe the reciprocal interaction between the Vestibular- Auditory-Visual Triad and the core postural muscles.\nIdentify the importance of providing precise input to each of the five vestibular receptors.\nApply powerful new tools to expand your clinical skills\, including specific activities to develop and enhance core function.\nAdminister the Astronaut Training: A Sound Activated Vestibular-Visual Protocol safely and effectively.\n\nCredits:\n12

SUMMARY:From Eyesight to Insight: Visual & Vestibular Assessment & Treatment
DESCRIPTION:This 2-day webinar provides a practical opportunity for participants to interact with a sensory integrative occupational therapist and a developmental optometrist as they collaborate on the goal of facilitating optimum performance in children with movement and vision issues. Many children have unidentified visual and vestibular challenges which interfere with the development of physical\, emotional\, and cognitive skills including receptive and expressive language\, reading\, and writing. Speakers will reveal and clarify some of the mysteries of previously ambiguous performance issues in childhood. Participants will develop a broader net for capturing the subtleties of visual-vestibular behavior by gaining insight into underlying causes. \nLecture information and video demonstrations will provide ample opportunity for participants to learn how to administer a vision screening examination. Comprehensive treatment protocols\, including the Astronaut Vestibular-Visual-Auditory Protocol\, will be shared so that therapists are exposed to a broad range of practical\, innovative\, sequential vestibular- visual activities and exercises for use with their clients. Clarification of the roles of therapists and developmental optometrists will facilitate in-depth collaboration between these professional so as to expedite efficient\, comprehensive case management.
