SUMMARY:A Comprehensive Approach to Bilateral Integration
DESCRIPTION:This webinar captures the essence of bilateral integration from a cognitive as well as a physical perspective. Innovative assessment and treatment strategies will be discussed\, as well as\, demonstrated. Participants will have the opportunity to fabricate a water-filled tube called the “Flow” and practice a variety of total body flow moves. Learn tried and true methods that enable clients to develop enhanced balance\, fluidity\, spontaneity\, and confidence while executing bilaterally integrated movements.

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. This course has been well received by occupational therapists\, physical therapists\, speech pathologist\, psychologists\, developmental optometrists\, and special educators. \nThe Vision Screening Kit\, which is referred to by and compliments the course materials\, is available for purchase for $59 (international duties and taxes may apply upon receiving the kit\, if shipping outside the United States). \nSchedule:\nDay 1:\nFriday\, February 12\, 2016 – 8:30am – 4:45pm CST \n8:30am-9:00am Check-in\n9:00am-4:45pm Workshop \nDay 2:\nSaturday\, February 13\, 2016 – 8:30am – 4:45pm CST \n8:30am-9:00am Check-in\n9:00am-4:15pm Workshop\n4:15pm-4:45pm Quiz & Evaluation \nContinuing Education:\nAOTA: Vital Links is approved by The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) as a provider of continuing education.

SUMMARY:Astronaut Training:  A Sound Activated Vestibular-Visual Protocol
DESCRIPTION:This course teaches a comprehensive sound activated\, vestibular visual treatment protocol. Guidelines for safe effective use for clients of all ages and diagnoses will be discussed.\nVestibular enhancement has always been central to sensory integration practice. However\, the importance of administering precise vestibular input that is integrated with specific sound and vision input is only beginning to be acknowledged. This workshop will expand the therapist’s skills via enhanced understanding of the developmental and neurological processes of the Vestibular-Auditory-Visual Triad. Understanding how these three systems work together with the body’s senses creates a foundation for achieving competency in applying specific intervention strategies\, including Astronaut Training: A Sound Activated Vestibular-Visual Protocol. \nDAY 1:\nSaturday\, January 30\, 2016\n9:00am – 5:05pm CST \nDAY 2:\nSunday\, January 31\, 2016\n9:00am – 5:05pm CST \nContinuing Education\nAOTA: Vital Links is approved by The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) as a provider of continuing education. This two-day workshop provides 12 contact hours or 1.2 AOTA CEUs. The assignment of AOTA CEUs does not imply endorsement of specific course content\, products\, or clinical procedures by AOTA. \nLevel: Introductory \nAOTA Classification Code: Client Factors\, Performance Skills\, & Intervention \nASHA: This course is offered for 1.25 ASHA CEUs\n(Introductory level\, Professional area) \nNOTES:\nWorkshop price includes Astronaut Training booklet. International shipping fee of $44.95 applies. \nThis is a live online workshop that you attend at your computer during the scheduled time. You must be present for the entire workshop.
