Connecting the Dots on Reflex Integration (Part 1) - August 6-7, 2018
You’ve taken courses that teach reflex integration methods. You have a good grasp of at least one or two methods, if not more.
But no one ever taught you how to figure out which method to use for which child with which issues.
In this Reflex Integration course, you’ll come out with a comprehensive overview of six different reflex integration methods - and you’ll know which presenting issues each method is the most relevant to treat. And that's just one of the goals of this course.
***
Connecting the Dots on Reflex Integration (Part 1) is a course jam-packed with information and practical takeaways. This interactive course gives you a practical real-life toolbox through a hands-on all-day lab, before and after videos demonstrating actual client progress, detailed handouts and more.
Clarity. Understanding. Direct applications.
If you ever felt puzzled about the best way to treat a young client with reflex integration issues, this is the course for you.

The Zones of Regulation curriculum teaches children a conscious awareness of their emotional state at any given moment as well as multiple tools and strategies for self-regulation. They can accept their emotions - and at the same time choose outward behaviors that meet their personal goals or are appropriate in the social context.
This course will be given by Leah Kuypers, MA Ed., OTR/L, the originator of the Zones of Regulation concept.
Knowledgeable, caring, and professional - these words describe Amy and Evelyn Guttmann to a T. Parents sing their praises, teachers look to them for instructional guidance, and students simply grow and flourish!
Amy and Evelyn are educated in the latest techniques and strategies for helping children with sensory integration, body awareness, and OT challenges.
They are successful because they study the whole child and understand what makes each individual child tick.
They are successful because they collaborate with every person who touches the life of the child - parents and teachers alike.
And, they are successful because when they take on a child as a client - the needs of that child become paramount - and that child has the best possible chance to reach their maximum potential.
As the early childhood director of a preschool, I have witnessed first-hand the remarkable and impressive work that Amy and Evelyn do with the children, and in training parents and teachers as well. Wow, what a team!
