Integrating Movement-Based and Learning Strategies: An Evidence-Based Approach to Enhance Engagement and Function in Children

Description

This dynamic and interactive workshop will teach clinicians a wide range of movement-based strategies to facilitate integrative learning and to promote function, engagement and participation for children at home, in the classroom and in therapy. The benefits of these movement-based strategies are immediate and obvious with Pre- and Post-objective data to provide the evidence that a client will show enhanced motor outcomes and to enable data-based decision making and progress monitoring. The intervention strategies will include: Brain Gym® exercises with a specialized focus for special needs clients who require modifications for the traditional exercises, Ocular-motor assessments and visual strategies, sound and listening strategies, and Bal-A-Vis-X® benefits. Participants will learn to apply assessment of dominance of the brain/body systems to create modifications in the classroom environment and for management of sensory experiences. Positive and measureable changes will impact the auditory/vestibular/visual triad; physical, cognitive, behavioral and emotional states.
