really like the interweaving of neurology and sensory integration and actually, this is a terrific explanation of behavioral theory at the neurological level and in which the child is the active person not the therapist. Really well done!

The speaker was excellent and very knowledgeable. I appreciated the thorough review of the neuroscience behind movement and how that applies in a clinical setting. She did a great job integrating the fundamental SI teachings of Ayres with the more current research on how the brain learns. The only improvement that I can suggest is adding an hour to break down more clinical activities from a neurological approach.

Information she did a wonderful job. I am SIPT Certified, was involved in Floortime with Dr. Greenspan and Weider, wrote information for Carol Kranowitz, take Lucy Miller advanced courses at her clinic and worked on PTOD. I loved her presentation it encapsulated the integration of what I have learned in the past and updated some of the information. Good Job.

I feel as though it was very informative and really helped bring me back to the roots of neuroscience when talking about skill development and learning. However, I feel like it made me a bit more confused about which interventions are helpful for skill building and which are not. I would like more examples of actual interventions to address fine motor skills (like handwriting or grasp), not just examples like the cornhole one.

What made me feel like I was wanting to be able to use this information was an experience I had with my young niece. Her Second child was having trouble crawling and would cry when she tried to put him in prone position. She started making excuses for him and stated, " that her girl friend told her, that her son didn't crawl and had learned to walk." I tried to explain to Kim what I had learned in my COTA/L program. Which is that our brain has neurons and synapses in the cortex.

It was a great refresher course on the neuroscience related to fine motor skills that we learned initially, but it goes deeper to explain neural modeling during fine motor activities, and how to utilize and apply therapeutic activities that will have the most impact in a child's therapy session and outcomes.
