Portland, OR.; April 9-10, 2010
Due to family obligation, the Power Tools scheduled April 9-10 in Portland, OR. has been postponed. We apologize for the inconvenience and will update our site when we have rescheduled the course. Thank you for your understanding.

Description:
Looking for a course that will address the treatment of approaches that produce the most progress in the shortest amount of time? Do you want to know how to combine treatment strategies in order to make each approach more effective? this course provides an overview of the "power tools" strategies most effective for the child with modulation, postural, motor and/or learning and behavioral problems. Join us and discover how the integration of a variety of strategies result in significant, measurable changes that are quick and cost effective. Treatment approaches will include: new perspectives on SI theory and practice, CranioSacral Therapy applications, metabolic considerations, modulation strategies: ie intensity concepts for sensory diet, therapeutic uses of music, rhythm and suck/swallow/breathe functions.
While some of the techniques discussed can be immediately put to use, prior experience with traditional sensory integration principles and practice will make application of these advanced approaches more meaningful and the complex nature of integrating them with current practice more successful. Basic sensory integration principles will not be covered in this course.

Objectives: Participants will be able to
1. Describe at least 3 of the presented approaches that can be integrated into treatment.
2. Describe how these approaches interact and/or support each other in comprehensive treatment of persons with sensory processing, modulation, motor, learning or autism spectrum disorders.
3. Demonstrate powerful treatment strategies for 3 or more of the approaches discussed.
4. Identify personal learning options that will enhance professional skills toward more efficient/effective treatment.

Participant comments

"Neuro foundation was thorough and well explained. Great handouts for neuro & OT. Postural integrity well presented. I appreciate the emphasis on relationship between neuroscience and practical OT."

"Great examples, clear, organized presentation...entertaining speakers. Held my interest for the duration. I will sign up for your other courses!"

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

"Wonderful suggestions/ideas. Covered many areas - can apply specifics to entire caseload at some point. Came away with a greater understanding and good neurological reasoning to explain."

"The most informative and enjoyable course I have taken in a long time! Good ideas for practical applications."

"Many of the treatment options can be implemented. There has been a connection made between science and intervention."
