SUMMARY:Trauma Informed Approach to Sensory Processing Disorder and Arousal Regulation
DESCRIPTION:Pediatric therapists and other professionals who work with individuals with sensory and developmental disorders (e.g. autism spectrum\, attention deficit\, learning disabilities) often encounter clients with difficulties related to developmental trauma. Traumatic events may be overt\, such as early loss of a primary caregiver; sexual\, physical or emotional abuse; or domestic\, community and school violence. Trauma may also be innocent\, such as early hospitalization and necessary life saving medical procedures in the neonatal intensive care unit. Exposure to adverse life experiences has been shown to increase the likelihood of social emotional and developmental delays; furthermore children with developmental delays have a much higher chance of experiencing physical\, emotional and sexual abuse. \nThere is a growing understanding and accompanying clinical practice that addresses the connection between sensory processing dysfunction and trauma. When an individual cannot adequately process sensory information or traumatic experiences\, the body’s natural defense mechanisms become heightened further impacting sensory processing disorder. \nThis two-day hands-on course will explore from a trauma informed perspective the connections between sensory processing and sensory integrative difficulties. We will also provide a brief introduction to the tension reducing technique known as TRE®\, as a means of demonstrating how the body retains stress in core muscular tension patterns. This course will investigate the hardwired action systems that underlie sensory modulation\, arousal\, affect regulation\, and play. A clinical reasoning model for tracking dynamic shifts in state and levels of integration will be presented. Interactive hands-on labs\, video and case presentations will bring key concepts and treatment strategies to life in this theoretically based\, yet practical workshop. \nBy the completion of the course\, participants will be able to:\n\nRecognize when patterns of defense are interfering with function and daily life\nEmploy three body based strategies to decrease tension patterns and regulate arousal\nDesign three play based strategies that support regulation and arousal\, affect and social engagement\n\nDay 1:\nThursday\, February 25\, 2016 – 8:00am – 4:30pm GMT \nDay 2:\nFriday\, February 26\, 2016 – 8:30am – 4:30pm GMT \n\n        \n            Register Now Online

SUMMARY:Sharpening Focus: Fine Tuning Therapeutic Listening Progressions to Address Attention\, Learning and Praxis Difficulties
DESCRIPTION:Required Pre-requisite course:\nParticipants must have completed Therapeutic Listening: Listening with the Whole Body. \n\n‘Sharpening Focus’ takes you beyond the basics of matching music and teaches an understanding of the specific use and application of a variety of electronic modifications of sound. This course will assist the therapist trained in the basics of modulated music to gain a deeper appreciation of how difficulties with audition and auditory processing disrupt attention\, learning\, and praxis. All aspects of advanced use of Therapeutic Listening® libraries will be explored\, from assessment to clinically reasoned album selection\, along with treatment progressions\, and problems solving potential difficulties as they arise. \nWhile the focus will be on the Fine Tuning libraries\, we will also discuss clinically reasoning when to use selections from the various libraries (Modulated\, Fine Tuning\, Spatially Enhanced and Quickshifts) as well as how to effectively blend them into an individualized treatment protocol. In addition\, we will address the understanding of the use of both passive and active bone conduction and its relevance to sensory integrative difficulties. \nAfter completing this course\, 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.\n\n\n        \n            Register Now Online

SUMMARY:Therapeutic Listening:  Listening with the Whole Body
DESCRIPTION:In this two-day workshop\, you will learn to use Therapeutic Listening® Modulated CDs to create individualized\, home-based programs for clients. You will also learn how to implement Therapeutic Listening strategies in conjunction with postural\, respiratory\, and sensory activities. The course will take you through all of the steps–from assessment to outcomes–for creating complete Therapeutic Listening programs. Video case presentations will be used to illustrate points and show changes in individuals with listening and other sensory processing difficulties. \nAfter completing this course\, you will be able to:\n\nDescribe the history of listening therapies\,\nIdentify individuals with sensory processing and listening problems who might respond well to Therapeutic Listening strategies.\nAdminister a Therapeutic Listening protocol and/or adapt it to meet the specific needs of a client.\nDemonstrate Therapeutic Listening strategies with postural\, respiratory\, sensory diet and other sensory processing treatments.\n\n\n        \n            Register Now Online
