Description: Sensory Integration is now considered to be evidence-based practice for those trained in Sensory Integration. Many professionals trained in the Tomatis Method aspire to understand sensory integration in their application of child development, especially as it supports the use of sound therapy. This series of 3 sessions will discuss theory as well as application to the Tomatis Method in support of improved function in the pediatric population. Together we will discuss listening tests and analyze their overlap into sensory integration. Starting with the dynamic interplay of the auditory, vestibular and visual system, working through the incredible contribution of bone conduction and vibration to interoception and finally ending our time together to discover how praxis / dyspraxia may be represented on listening tests. The information will also cover program ideas with possible outcomes through different case studies. This will be an information heavy series with good practical application to guide multidisciplinary professionals in their bid for health, wellbeing and function in the clients and families they serve.
