DESCRIPTION:This webinar was designed to introduce clinicians to the Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT) problem-solving process\, therapeutic handling\, and clinical decision-making process when treating children that display motor and sensory problems within a treatment session. Improving the clinician’s perception regarding the interrelation between the sensory systems\, neuromuscular systems\, and posture and movement (multi-system) will be emphasized. \nThrough video demonstration the participant will recognize multi/single-system integrities and impairments related to functional activities and participation. Identification of neuromuscular and sensory system impairments will be highlighted\, improving the clinician’s observational skills to determine treatment strategies related to the child’s functional outcome. NDT handling strategies addressing both the sensory and neuromuscular impairments simultaneously will be demonstrated via video. \nDiscussion of the clinical decision-making process during a single session will allow the participant to appreciate and acknowledge an integrated approach to children with sensorimotor dysfunction. \nTake an additional discount of $20 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously. Discount applied at checkout. \n \n Enrollment Brochure\n \n \nLocation\nOnline* \nSchedule\n\n \n Full Agenda\n \n \nFriday\, June16\, 2017\, 9:00am – 5:00pm CDT\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CDT on day one. \nLevel\nIntroductory \nInstructor\nGail Ritchie; OTR/L\, C/NDT \nCourse Objectives\nUpon completion of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the NDT problem-solving process.\nIdentify the multi and single system impairments affecting single session functional outcomes.\nUnderstand the relationship between the neuromuscular and sensory systems related to functional activities and participation.\nIdentify and discuss treatment strategies that simultaneously address the neuromuscular and sensory impairments.\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.

When an individual cannot adequately process sensory information or traumatic experiences\, the body’s natural defense mechanisms become heightened\, further impacting sensory processing disorder. This live\, one-day online course will explore the connections between trauma\, sensory processing and sensory integrative difficulties. We will also provide a brief overview of the tension reducing technique\, known as TRE®\, as a means of demonstrating how the body retains stress in core muscular tension patterns. Further\, we will examine how the addition of TRE® to a sensory integrative and developmental frame has subsequently informed new thinking around trauma\, sensory modulation and sensory integration. Video and case presentations will bring key concepts and treatment strategies to life in this theoretically based\, yet practical course. \nRegistration includes a Gertie Ball\, a Power Up Ball and a Pinky Ball. \nTake an additional discount of $20 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously.

Due to a number of factors\, including improper positioning\, lack of typical sensorimotor opportunities\, other environmental factors\, and/or diagnoses of failure to thrive\, autism\, sensory processing disorders\, etc.\, many of today’s children are delayed in their sensorimotor development when compared with past generations. These delays are particularly apparent in lack of core strength\, proximal stability\, and upper extremity coordination. \nAlong with other treatment strategies\, gravity can be used by therapists to enhance development\, especially in the areas of sensorimotor processing\, reflex integration and motor coordination. A variety of intervention strategies that engage vestibular mechanisms and take advantage of gravitational influences\, including some innovative equipment\, will be discussed and demonstrated via labs and video presentation. \nLocation\nOnline \nSchedule\n\n \n Full Agenda \n \n \nFriday\, August 12\, 2016\, 8:30am – 4:30pm CDT \nLevel\nIntroductory \nCourse Objectives\nUpon completion of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nDiscuss the role that gravity plays in typical infant development.\nList the ways that positioning and other environmental influences can obstruct or enhance sensorimotor development.\nDemonstrate at least 3-4 strategies to facilitate reflex integration and sensorimotor development.\nDescribe innovative equipment for enhancing sensorimotor development and how to use them.\n\n\n \n Continuing Ed \n \n \nVital Links is an AOTA approved provider of continuing education.
