Description: This 3-part webinar series is a recorded workshop and open strictly to only Tomatis professionals across the globe. Anyone from all 4 levels of training can join us as we travel through the journey of what makes Tomatis so special. Each parameter of the Tomatis method will be discussed in relationship with its functional application, including what to consider in programming for each individual client. We encounter client profiles with many shades of gray every day and we can find ourselves “drowning” in the myriad of decisions we can make with each track every day in each program. This series will discuss programming in general but will mostly focus on the “why” for the use of each parameter. We will integrate known information from our trainings with knowledge from external research to motivate the critical thinking of Dr. Tomatis who was ahead of his time in integrating the multiple facets of the human brain through the auditory-vestibular system. The attendee will be refreshed with perhaps forgotten information but will also add new information to motivate critical clinical thinking in the application of the Tomatis Method. Join us on this journey, do not expect perfection, but expect being moved one more time with the power of the Tomatis Method. Part 2 will include the importance of laterality, active work and the mother’s voice and will be available during the second semester of 2023.
