Description:

Designed to teach therapists how to transition their therapy pool into a sensory and motor planning room. Extrapolated from the 16 treatment station concept, therapists will harness the use of common everyday items to create a sensory effect and to achieve a functional motor response. Each exercise and activity will be examined from the perspective of all the senses: vestibular, tactile, proprioceptive, visual and auditory. The latest aquatic research will be explored and analyzed. This course is primarily designed to provide hands-on experience in order to promote skilled aquatic treatment of children with motor planning issues, poor body awareness, poor focus/attention, impaired postural stability, difficulty with bilateral coordination and those with cognitive disabilities.

I loved the video clips showing OT working with kids on the spectrum while the PT described the work. Denise R., OTR

 

CTRS here. We are in the water all the time and I thought the training would be more of the same, but this gave me a new perspective even after 10 years in the pool. Ronnie S., CTRS

 

Perfect for my entire SLP staff who needed an introduction to working with their current caseload in the water. Made it accessible. Michael R., Team Aquatics Leader
