Bone Conduction from the Inside Out and the Outside In

Description

As therapists, we are eager to explore innovative therapeutic strategies that demonstrate efficient and effective results when utilized with a diverse clinical population who have sensory integrative challenges. One such strategy that has ignited excitement and attention is bone conduction. This one-day course will explore the neurodevelopmental and therapeutic significance of bone conduction for enhanced vestibular, somatosensory, and visual integration to facilitate spatial orientation, core stability, praxis, executive functioning, and more. Learn the power of utilizing the audio-vocal loops in conjunction with respiration, posture, and movement to ignite self-generated bone conduction—from the inside out and the outside in. Participants will be introduced to a groundbreaking therapeutic tool called the Forbrain ™ which utilizes a dynamic filter to amplify the user’s voice through bone conduction. In addition, other treatment strategies that focus on respiration and posture for bone conduction will be explored. Hands-on labs will provide an embodied understanding of the key assessment and treatment techniques. In addition, movement routines and home program strategies will be addressed. Participants will leave with an in-depth understanding of how bone conduction supports sensory integration and will possess a breadth of treatment strategies to meet the diverse needs of clients in any setting.
