About
the presenter: Sheila M. Frick, OTR, is an internationally
esteemed clinician, lecturer, and pioneer in Occupational Therapy. She has over
30 years of clinical experience, having worked in psychiatry, rehabilitation,
and home health before specializing in paediatrics. Her expertise includes
sensory processing dysfunction, sensory integration, and auditory
interventions. She created and continues to expand Therapeutic Listening, which
she has taught to over 10,000 therapists worldwide. Sheila has explored the
links between Sensory Integration and developmental movement patterns through
many avenues including the teaching of Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen at Body Mind
Centering, Marcia Monroe and Donna Farhi on developmental yoga training, and
Peggy Hackney on Bartenieff Fundamentals.
Sheila’s interest in the impact of traumatic experiences on sensory
processing and participation in daily life has led her to training and later
teaching with the TRE® (Tension and Trauma Release Exercise) organization. Her recent work in TRE® has
influenced Sheila’s interest in expanding techniques and activities appropriate
for children and young adults aimed at reducing stress, tension, and anxiety
through movement and auditory based tools.
She is the creator and author of Listening With the Whole Body, and
co-author of Core Concepts in Action, Astronaut Training, and Out of the Mouths
of Babes.

Who
Should Attend: Pediatric
therapists, mental health workers, social workers, counsellors, and other
professionals who work with individuals with sensory and developmental disorders
(e.g. behavior problems, emotional disorders, autism spectrum, attention
deficit, learning disabilities, mental illness). Many of the clients we work with often
encounter difficulties related to developmental trauma.
Course Summary:
Therapists and other professionals who work with
individuals with sensory and developmental disorders (e.g. autism spectrum,
attention deficit, learning disabilities) often encounter clients with
difficulties related to developmental trauma. Traumatic events may be overt,
such as early loss of a primary caregiver; sexual, physical or emotional abuse;
or domestic, community and school violence. Trauma may also be innocent, such
as early hospitalization and necessary life saving medical procedures in the
neonatal intensive care unit. Exposure to adverse life experiences has been
shown to increase the likelihood of social emotional and developmental delays.
Furthermore, children with developmental delays have a higher risk of
being subjected to experiences involving physical, emotional and sexual abuse.
There is a growing understanding and accompanying
clinical practice that addresses the connection between sensory processing
dysfunction and trauma. When an individual cannot adequately process sensory
information or traumatic experiences, the body’s natural defense mechanisms
become heightened further impacting sensory processing disorder.
This two-day, hands-on course will explore, from a trauma informed
perspective, the connections between sensory processing and sensory integrative
difficulties. We will also provide a brief introduction to the tension reducing
technique known as TRE®, as a means of demonstrating how the body
retains stress in core muscular tension patterns. This course will investigate
the hardwired action systems that underlie sensory modulation, arousal, affect
regulation, and play. A clinical reasoning model for tracking dynamic shifts in
state and levels of integration will be presented. Interactive hands-on labs,
video and case presentations will bring key concepts and treatment strategies
to life in this theoretically based, yet practical course.
This is a 2-day course
that runs from 8:30 to 4:30. Registration starts at 8:00 on Friday September 29. Lunch and mid-day snacks will be provided.
Breakfast is not provided, however morning tea and coffee will be available.
