Are
you looking for techniques that pack a powerful punch?
Are you wondering about new treatment approaches and whether
they may be a match for your strengths and SI based practice?
If that is the case, this is the course for you.
No
matter the work environment or system - schools,
hospitals, private practice, etc., we are all trying to
deal with less time allotments, shrinking budgets and a
lack of equipment and space for an effective course of
treatment. We need tools to make our practice more efficient
with respect to time and cost considerations, but with
enough power to have the necessary treatment impact. We
need tools that are user friendly for home, clinic and
classroom programs.
While
this course is an overview of multiple strategies – CranialSacral
treatment applications, metabolic symptoms and considerations,
modulation strategies, intensity concepts for sensory diet,
therapeutic uses of music and rhythm and suck/swallow/breathe
functions you will leave with activities in each
approach that you can integrate with other strategies immediately
and effectively.
After taking this course, you will:
• Know
which treatment approaches are a match for you and
where you can get more in-depth training and/or resources
so you can refer to qualified professionals.
•
Integrate new strategies with your current skills for more
effective
treatment.
•
Have credible resource materials for your own use and handouts
to share with parents, teachers, etc.
•
Understand the metabolic issues relevant to your population
along the autism spectrum and children and adults in general.

the how of the CNS allows for better activity choice/analysis
for the children I treat."
