Putting it All Together Integrating Theory and Practice in Sandplay - Recording
Description: The pediatric therapist is faced today with a multitude of thoughts, beliefs, theories and models from which they can assess, organize, and plan their intervention. As we are living in the age of neuroplasticity science, the ability to create and impact lasting functional change is within our grasp. This workshop series will contain some theory, though mostly focus on the practical application of integrating sensory integration, primitive movement patterns and development. Clinicians will have an assessment protocol that they can apply instantly and see recordings of practical interventions that support both frames of references in the context of play and development. It will be a packed workshop series and even if one has attended prior courses before, there are many new points of critical thinking for everyone! This workshop does not replace nor require certifications in either sensory integration or reflex integration. Simply come with an open mind to add new and novel thoughts and ideas into the practice of pediatric intervention.
