Schedule for Understanding and Stimulating the Development of the Sensory System

Webinar

·       Cortical Asymmetry and laterality and how these relate to the sensory, motor cognitive and emotional symptoms these children have.

·       Factors associated with causing Neurodevelopmental Delay relating to embryonic development

·       Primitive Reflexes – how they develop and what it means when they’re retained

·       Literature review of Primitive Reflexes as an assessment tool and an intervention

·       Neurology of the Plantar, Babinski, Palmar, Root, Suck and Babkin Reflexes, where are they in the nervous system and which regions of the brain will modulate them.

·       Effects of Sensory stimulation on brain development

·       What regions of the brain do we stimulate with primitive reflex therapy -a look at Functional Neuroanatomy of the primary and secondary sensory processing regions, how the association areas use this information and how the premotor areas organize the movement.

·       Hemispheric Activation, combining therapies to stimulate one side of the brain & when this is appropriate based on your history and exam findings

Seminar Saturday

·       Workshop, cortical asymmetry

·       Three ways to integrate a primitive reflex

·       Plantar and Babinski reflex: what they stimulates, what inhibits them and functional difficulties when retained

·       Assessment and scoring of the Plantar & Babinski Reflex, demonstration and practical

·       Interventions (Tier 1 & 2) for Plantar and Babinski reflex integration, demonstration and practical

·       Review brain regions we are activating with these therapies

·       Interventions (Tier 3 & 4) for Plantar and Babinski reflex integration, demonstration and practical

·       Palmar reflex: what it stimulates what inhibits it and functional difficulties when retained

·       Assessment of Palmar Reflex, Demonstration and Practical

·       Interventions for Palmar Reflex Integration through developmental stages

Seminar Sunday

·       Hemispheric Activation – creating multi-modal therapy based on the history and exam findings. Demonstration and Practical

·       Rooting, Suck and Babkin Reflexes: what they stimulate what inhibits them and functional difficulties when they are retained

·       Assessment and scoring of Root, Suck and Babkin reflexes, Demonstration and Practical

·       Interventions for Root, Suck and Babkin Reflexes with Integration through developmental stages

·       Presentation of Cases Shelley & Darren have seen and / or Live case demonstration if possible
