Date: Monday March 25, 2024 9am to 4pm JHB, South Africa time zone
(Anyone can join us from anywhere in the world. Sessions will be recorded if unable to join from your time zone)
Description:
What is interhemispheric organization? How does bilateral integration fit into this concept? How do we consider all of the midlines of our bodies? What do we do about it?
If these are questions on your mind, then this workshop is for you! We will take a thorough look at the body components of bilateral integration, including those subtle clients that cannot be detected with our regular standardized assessment tools. We will consider the operations of our left and right brain and how the developmental hierarchy directly relates to behavioral choices. Included will be the impact on academics and social emotional skill. Intervention ideas that have been tried and found true to remediate these aspects will end a packed day of information!

9.00 to 10.30am Bilateral Integration across midlines
