Course Description:

Therapists today face an ever-growing challenge of providing effective interventions for children and adults with movement disorder issues, whether from neuro -developmental delays or complex neuro-orthopedic issues. Standard treatment interventions approach the challenges from a mechanical, behavioral perspective, without addressing the underlying neurological dysfunctions that may be driving delayed or disrupted sensory motor processing. Neuro-Ignition for Movement Therapy provides therapists with critical information about
sensory motor development, the scientific basis of our integrative interventions, and neuroscience-based approaches that facilitate optimal body-brain functional outcomes, from
pediatrics through eldercare. Therapists will explore the neurological grounding of autonomic function to enhance self-regulation, learn to identify common wiring disruptions to appropriately tailor their interventions, and acquire important treatment strategies for neuro-developmental or sensory motor dysfunction patients of all ages, including the 0-3 population. Parent and caregiver needs are also addressed, with simple strategies and resources provided for optimal support and family success.
