Studies show our brains can be rewired to enhance new learning.  In some cases, it acts as an adaptive mechanism to compensate for lost function or maximize remaining function in the event of a brain injury. As therapists, when we treat the causes and symptoms of these motor delays, we can utilize alternate brain pathways to improve the effects of therapy and promote task-building and occupation.

Neuroplasticity changes brain connections and hence, changes motor and cognitive functions.  From congenital abnormalities to traumatic brain injuries, this course delivers new and exciting methods on how to detour around damage and incorporate viable nervous system connections.  Learn how therapy can change the brain. In this course, learn how neuroplasticity can change the challenges in a child’s developmental milestone attainment, attention, and focus.  With Dr. Karen Pryor as your guide, you gain creative and evidence-based approaches to incorporate into a multisensory experience to drive home the importance of diverse and novel activities during treatment sessions.  Both high and low tones are discussed in depth.  Video case studies will demonstrate before and after integrative neuroplasticity treatments. The brain is constantly making thousands of new brain cells in the child every minute and, we can capitalize on this amazing natural process. The therapy techniques learned in this 1-day course can be easily integrated into the clinic or home the next day.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this seminar, the participant will be able to:

  • Describe the principles of neuroplasticity and how the nervous system learns and can rewire around damage.
  • Correlate the relationship between brain dysfunction and tone abnormalities that affect gross and fine motor movements in occupation.
  • Discuss face and mouth, symmetry and how to increase awareness of mouth, tongue, and tone
  • Demonstrate techniques to increase or decrease muscle tone and the change in task performance.
  • Analyze and perform techniques to change visual abilities for leading movements and promote 3-dimensional vision.
  • Design a treatment plan addressing multiple diagnoses to enhance progress in developmental skills.
  • Evaluate strategies to incorporate techniques into home programs for parents and caregivers.
