Have you emerged as your clinic’s expert in Therapeutic Listening and are now aiming to support the growth of others? In this one-day\, interactive online course\, you will learn how to augment your treatment skills\, as well as\, mentor others in the use of Therapeutic Listening. Together we will explore the integration of all the Therapeutic Listening libraries of albums\, including Modulated\, Fine Tuning\, Spatially Enhanced and Quickshifts to create a comprehensive and customized progression; and when necessary\, a follow-up boost progression. This experience will allow you to further refine your skills in matching music to specifically address each of your clients’ unique clinical picture. \nExplore how to support the enhancement of both vestibular and proprioceptive processing through the power of rhythm; and learn to recognize how to match rhythms to specific clinical presentations. Collaborative case studies will provide an opportunity to develop and discuss best practices\, further enhancing your ability to discuss clinical reasoning behind music selections with other professionals. This rationale will be used to inform goal-setting and documentation related to the use of Therapeutic Listening for clinical-based and practice-based research purposes. This course is designed for those who have already completed the Listening with the Whole Body course; completion of the Fine Tuning and Quickshift courses are not required\, but we will explore the clinical application of these selections. \nTake an additional discount of $20 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously. \n \n Enrollment Brochure\n \n \nLocation\nOnline* \nSchedule\n\n \n Full Agenda\n \n \nFriday\, March 17\, 2017\, 9:00am – 4:30pm CDT\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CDT\nQuiz approx. 4:00pm-4:30pm CDT \nLevel\nIntermediate \nInstructors\nSheila M.

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 labs.

This course will assist the therapist trained in the basics of modulated music to gain a deeper knowledge of how challenges with audition and auditory processing disrupt attention\, learning\, and praxis. In addition\, a new tool\, the Forbrain®\, will be introduced for use in Therapeutic Listening® protocols. \nLocation\nOnline webinar \nDate and Time\nFriday\, April 1\, 2016\n8:30am – 5:00pm CDT \nLevel\nIntermediate\, pre-requisite completion of course entitled Listening with the Whole Body \nCourse Objectives\nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nMake appropriate Fine Tuning Mountain album selections and choose a musical progression based on the client’s individual clinical picture.\nDesign a comprehensive Therapeutic Listening musical progression that includes the use of a variety of sound tools to support specific functional outcomes.\nLearn how to stimulate active bone conductions through the use of Forbrain® (a self-conducting auditory feed back headset).\n\n6 credits URL:https://vitallinks.com/event/sfft2016-04-01-web1d-06sf-sharpening-focus/ LOCATION:Online – Live Webinar CATEGORIES:Sharpening Focus END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160318 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160320 DTSTAMP:20260627T015057 CREATED:20151230T191626Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160308T014004Z UID:10000006-1458259200-1458431999@vitallinks.com 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 URL:https://vitallinks.com/event/astr2016-03-18-web2d-12mksf-astronaut-training/ LOCATION:Online – Live Webinar CATEGORIES:Astronaut Training END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160311T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160312T163000 DTSTAMP:20260627T015057 CREATED:20151229T160747Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160308T014820Z UID:10000005-1457683200-1457800200@vitallinks.com SUMMARY:Trauma Informed Approach to Sensory Processing Disorder and Arousal Regulation DESCRIPTION:There is a growing understanding and accompanying clinical practice that addresses the connection between sensory processing dysfunction and trauma.
