QUICKSHIFTS + THERAPEUTIC LISTENING WORKSHOP: LISTENING WITH THE WHOLE BODY

This course will introduce participants to the therapeutic application of Quickshifts, an auditory based intervention tool, used to quickly shift states of alertness and set-up the nervous system for optimal success. Quickshifts are an effective tool that can be used across multiple environments to support immediate performance as well as long-lasting changes in a number of functional areas. This course will also feature case and video presentations to show practical clinical applications.

In this training course, participants will learn to use Therapeutic Listening® modulated audio selections to create individualized, home-based programs for clients. You will also learn how to implement Therapeutic Listening® strategies in conjunction with postural, respiratory, and sensory activities. This course will take participants from client assessment through treatment with a strong emphasis on practical application using multiple case-studies. Case-study video presentations will be used to illustrate points and show changes in individuals with listening and other sensory processing difficulties. Practitioners who have a background in sensory integration, including therapists in schools, hospitals and private clinics will find this webinar especially meaningful.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Identify the relationship between listening and sensory integration.
- Recognize individuals with sensory processing and listening difficulties who may respond well to Therapeutic Listening.
- Select Therapeutic Listening programs that are adapted to meet specific needs of individual clients.
- Recognize the role of postural, respiratory, and sensory strategies that are part of the Therapeutic Listening program.
- List clinically based observation and movement-based assessment tools that assist in assessing an individual’s bilateral motor-coordination, state regulation and whole-brain processing, and how they relate to functional difficulties of the individual.
- Identify three movement activities that support vestibular, proprioceptive, auditory and visual functioning.
Match Quickshift albums to client’s clinical picture, goals, and functional outcomes.
