Personally mentored and trained by Sheila M. Frick, Tracy Bjorling began her occupational therapy career at Vital Links in 2010 after completing her Master’s in Occupational Therapy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Tracy credits her graduate school professor, Julia Wilbarger; PhD, OTR/L, for setting her on her current career path by introducing her to Sheila and Vital Links.
Understanding the positive impact continuing education has on the growth of Occupational Therapy, Tracy began pursing her Doctor of Occupational Therapy degree through the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2018.
In addition to actively treating clients in the clinic, Tracy has been trained in the clinical practice and teaching of Therapeutic Listening and Quickshifts. Tracy currently enjoys joining Sheila in her efforts of teaching these practical treatment tools and helping therapists implement them across a variety of treatment settings.
In this two-day, online, initial training course, participants will learn to use Therapeutic Listening® modulated audio selections to create individualized, home-based programs for clients.
In this live, online course (with recording access) participants will explore the functional implications of auditory defensiveness (and misophonia) and the direct link between the auditory system and primary movement patterns.
In this two-day, online, initial training course, participants will learn to use Therapeutic Listening® modulated audio selections to create individualized, home-based programs for clients.
This live, online course (with recording access) introduces the use of the Forbrain® technology, which amplifies the user’s voice with a special filter and transmits the message through bone conduction. We will explore the connection between the audio-vocal loop, the vestibular system, and the core and how use of the Forbrain® technology can be used to improve functional outcomes.
This live, online course (with recording access) focuses on evaluating movement to precisely and effectively match music to individual client needs to improve self-regulation from a multi-system approach. We will explore the Quickshift music albums that capitalize on the powerful impact of binaural beat technology and musical entrainment.
This online course teaches a protocol to provide precise input to all five vestibular receptors, along with auditory and visual input to create a comprehensive treatment protocol which integrates the vestibular-auditory-visual triad. Guidelines are provided for safe, effective use of this protocol with clients of all ages and diagnoses.

This live, one-day, online course will explore the connections between trauma, sensory processing and sensory integrative difficulties. Participants will learn how sound and movement are critical in the development of body based, perceptual motor, and social emotional foundations for feeling safe in the world and in relationship to another.
