location =
description = Description:
This 2-day workshop provides a practical opportunity for participants to interact with a sensory integrative occupational therapist and a
developmental optometrist as they collaborate on the goal of facilitating optimum performance in children with movement and vision
issues. Many children have unidentified visual and vestibular challenges which interfere with the development of physical, emotional,
and cognitive skills including receptive and expressive language, reading, and writing. Speakers will reveal and clarify some of the
mysteries of previously ambiguous performance issues in childhood. Participants will develop a broader net for capturing the
subtleties of visual-vestibular behavior by gaining insight into underlying causes.
Hands-on experience will provide ample opportunity for participants to learn how to administer a vision screening examination.
Comprehensive treatment protocols, including the Kawar Oculo-Vestibular Protocol, will be shared so that therapists are exposed to a
broad range of practical, innovative, sequential vestibular-visual activities and exercises for use with their clients. This course has
been well received by occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech pathologist, psychologists, developmental optometrists,
and special educators.
This course is offered for 1.25 ASHA CEUs (Intermediate Level; Related Area)
This course is offered for 1.2 AOTA CEU's
Objectives: Participants will be able to:
1. Administer a vision screening examination.
2. Refer clients for optometric evaluation effectively using standardized criteria.
3. Demonstrate powerful treatment strategies that utilize the vestibular-oculomotor-cervical triad.
4. Describe the paradigm shift that indicates that functional performance is driven by vision and movement.

From Primitive Reflexes to Occupational Performance
Dates = April 7, 2013 - Pittsburgh, PA; May 5, 2013 - Minneapolis, MN;
description = Description:
Reflex Integration has re-emerged as a “hot” therapeutic topic. This course is designed to bridge the gap between reflex oriented
treatment and sensory integrative and occupational performance intervention. Observing components of dysfunction through a “reflex”
lens can offer the clinician new insight which may expand therapeutic options. Participants will be guided to scaffold reflex assessment
and treatment procedures into more typical occupational therapy practice. Learning how to intersperse quick, “power up” strategies into
the treatment session will facilitate the achievement of more adaptive occupational performance while manifesting optimal dynamic
postural control, emotional well-being, social ease and cognitive facility.
This course is offered for .6 AOTA CEUs: Performance Skills
This course is offered for .6 ASHA CEUs (Introductory Level; Related Area)
Objectives: Participants will be able to:
1. Practice testing primitive reflexes, righting reactions, and equilibrium responses.
2. Demonstrate homologous, homolateral, and contralateral developmental movements as basic movement patterns and when
expressed in functional activities.
3. Demonstrate a sensory integration activity for each of 4 different reflexes which facilitates their emergence and integration.
4. Describe the 3 most prevalent residual reflexes found in underachieving children and how these reflexes thwart subsequent
developmental achievement.

placed on common therapeutic strategies used in handling clients of a variety of sizes towards gaining core stability towards functional
outcomes/goals. This workshop is practical in nature with much of the content including moving one another in lab. A review of anatomy and
kinesiology of the trunk and proximal limbs will be helpful before attending the class.

Neuro-Developmental Treatment Approach for Infants and Toddlers
Dates = June 14 & 15, 2013
location = Philadelphia, PA
description = Learn to identify and treat the challenges that infants and toddlers must overcome when faced with a neurological deficit or
simply a developmental delay. Typical and atypical development will be reviewed as they relate to one another and how the infant/toddler
develops functional movement behaviors.
Current philosophy and principles of the Neuro-Developmental Treatment approach will be presented as it relates to treatment of the infant
and toddler. Slides, video and observation of infant movement will reinforce typical development. Movement labs will be used to facilitate one
another through movement transitions and to learn handling techniques on an infant-sized doll. Observation of an assessment and treatment
session will show treatment and handling techniques on a client.

There is Always a Reason for the Behavior: Is it Sensory or is it Behavior!
Dates = June 8 & 9, 2013
location = Orange, CA
description = Clinicians consulting with teachers and families are increasingly challenged by students with complex behavioral issues. As a
result, therapists desire discriminating skills and tools to identify the basis of these complexities. Is the behavior a result of
neuropsychological limitations in sensory processing or a manifestation of social and emotional experiences? Traditionally, models of
intervention have isolated these two features, as separate contributions of functional performance, which, when viewed holistically, are
integrated and overlapping aspects of human behavior.
This workshop will provide an understanding of the integrated neurobiology of sensory processing and emotional/behavioral problems
resulting in “challenging behavior”. Through lecture, problem solving labs, and videotape analysis, you will learn where on the integrated
sensory-emotional continuum, sensation and mental health concerns entwine. This understanding, in turn, will allow for easier treatment
planning. Treatment strategies will be specific to the home and school environment based upon active analysis of identified behavioral
concerns.
The workshop is based upon cutting edge research bridging translational research from the fields of neuro-science, occupational therapy,
psychology and trauma psychiatry.
