SUMMARY:Finding Safety and Stability: A Trauma-Informed Sensory Motor Approach - Live Webinar w/ Recording
DESCRIPTION:Take an Inside Look at the Course\nListen to a preview of the Finding Safety and Stability Course to learn more about the power of proprioception and fascia; especially\, when supporting individuals who have a history of increased stress and/or trauma.\n \nAvailable as a Recording! \nTherapists 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 lifesaving 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 higher risk of being subjected to experiences involving 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 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. Treatment labs will explore the basics of auditory and vestibular/somatosensory processing\, and their relationship to arousal\, attachment\, self-regulation\, and learning. Video and case presentations will bring key concepts and treatment strategies to life in this theoretically-based\, yet practical course. \nReceive the Gertie Ball\, Power Up Ball\, and Pinky Ball from Vital Sounds for the special rate of 15% off when you register for the Finding Safety and Stability course (S&H fees apply^). Vital Sounds coupon will be provided in course registration receipt. \nTake an additional discount of $15 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously under the same web-order. \nScroll down to Register\nLocation\nOnline* \nSchedule\nFull Agenda\nLive Webinar:\nFriday\, May 1\, 2026\, 9:00am – 4:45pm Central Time\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CT\nTest begins at approx. 4:15pm CT \nCan’t Make It On May 1?

SUMMARY:Embodied Sensation: Harnessing the Power of Interoception and Proprioception
DESCRIPTION:Join Sheila Frick for her New Course!\n \nRecording Access Available! \nProprioception and interoception are frequently discussed within the field of occupational therapy to describe one’s awareness of their internal body signals. For individuals who experience difficulties with sensory modulation and sensory processing\, inadequate interoceptive and proprioceptive awareness may contribute to struggles with body awareness\, adaptable states of arousal\, motor control\, and regulation and awareness of homeostatic functions. Effective treatment strategies aim to modulate sensation\, and support proprioceptive and interoceptive balance within the context of meaningful occupational participation. \nDrawing from current science\, this course will explore the neurological and anatomical foundations for proprioception\, interoception\, and vestibular processing. Practical application and discussions will illuminate how these sensations play a key role in self-sensing\, body mapping for enhanced body scheme\, and self-regulation. Therapists will leave this course with a comprehensive understanding of these key therapeutic concepts\, along with a variety of practical and precise therapeutic activities that can be implemented across environments. \nScroll down to Register\nLocation\nOnline with Recording Option* \nSchedule\nFull Agenda\nLive Webinar:\nThursday\, June 25\, 2026\, 9:00am – 12:45pm Central Time (CT)\nCheck-in begins at 8:30am CT\nTest begins at approx. 12:15pm CT \nCan’t Make It On June 25?

SUMMARY:Exploring Auditory Defensiveness - A Comprehensive Approach to Assessment and Treatment- Vital Links Now
DESCRIPTION:Curious to learn more about Auditory Defensiveness and potential clinical presentation? Here is a sneak peek for what is to come in the Vital Links Now Exploring Auditory Defensiveness on-demand course. \nSecure Your Spot — Register Now\nCourse Description\nDo you truly understand the impact of the auditory system on function? What happens to our arousal level when there are disruptions in the way we process the sounds from our environment? How would it feel to be constantly bombarded by the sounds in your life?  More importantly do you know how to treat from a whole body perspective when these challenges occur? \nSigns and symptoms of auditory defensiveness may present themselves as classic sensory defensive behaviors. However\, that is not the only manner in which disruptions in the auditory system and audition leave someone vulnerable to becoming defensive. These defensive processes start early in life and if not addressed will continue to impact an individual’s level of participation and overall quality of life. \nIn this on-demand course\, participants will explore the functional implications of auditory defensiveness and the direct link between the auditory system and primary movement patterns. This course will delve into the orienting-defensive continuum and the physiologic impact of a defensive response on movement patterns\, arousal levels\, and function. \nParticipants will begin to understand how auditory defensiveness and gravitational insecurity often present together and may represent an emerging sub-type of sensory defensiveness centered around spatial difficulties. \nVideo and case presentations will highlight simple auditory and movement treatment strategies essential for fostering fluid orienting and adaptability within the environment. This course is appropriate for individuals in private practice\, schools\, and community settings looking for new and innovative ways to address auditory defensiveness through both sound and movement approaches. No prior experience with auditory interventions is required to participate in this course. \nLocation\nVital Links Now On-Demand: Two-Week Recording Viewing Window  \nSchedule\nFull Agenda\nLive course recorded on: Friday\, December 11\, 2020\, 9:00am – 4:15pm CST \nView the Course on Your Own Time!

SUMMARY:From Eyesight to Insight - Visual and Vestibular Assessment and Treatment - Vital Links Now
DESCRIPTION:In this introductory video\, Dr. Carl Hillier\, O.D.\, FCOVD shares the importance of practitioners understanding the crucial connections between the vestibular and visual systems\, the benefits of collaboration between occupational therapists and developmental optometrists\, and highlights several key topics of interest discussed within the course!\n\n \nMary Kawar\, M.S.\, OT/L shares with Sheila Frick how partnering with a developmental optometrist supported her work as a occupational therapist and discusses the multifaceted contributions of the vestibular system.\nThe Vision Kit – a toolkit utilized by Dr. Hillier & Mary Kawar \nThe development of higher-level performance skills\, including reading\, writing\, and receptive and expressive language\, is dependent upon a strong sensorimotor foundation. For many children unidentified difficulties with both the visual and vestibular systems can impact optimal performance.
