"Your Brain on Music: Understanding and Implementing Music in Therapy and at Home"
| |
|
Allison Gross, MT-BC, NMT
Fellow Music Therapist-Board Certified Neurologic Music Therapist Fellow
August 29, 2013 - 7:00 pm (EDT)
Fee: $47 USD
Neurologic Music Therapy harnesses the power of music and rhythm to help children with speech and language delays achieve more functional communication. By understanding principles of music and its effect on the brain, others can learn basic strategies to use music at home and in treatment.
Music and speech are closely related, but involve different neurologic processing in the brain. Speech is localized in the brain's left hemisphere, but music is processed in many areas of both hemispheres. The shared and parallel processes of music and speech may allow flexibility in brain reorganization to create alternate pathways to the same function.

Jeremy Legaspi, M.S., CCC-SLP
Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist
September 25, 2013 - 7:00 pm EDT (90 min) Fee: $47 USD
Since the iPad was released, there have been many apps designed for speech and language therapy, and most of these apps are great for therapy. However, there are countless free and inexpensive apps that, with a little creativity, can be "Appdapted" to suit a variety of therapy needs Appdapted is a term that was coined to describe the process of taking apps that were not specifically developed for therapy and adapting them to suit therapeutic needs. Apps utilizing augmented reality, QR codes, and voice activation will be discussed and short tutorials will demonstrate how to take these apps and turn them into useful and engaging therapy tools. This is an intermediate level course that is geared toward professionals and parents that have a strong working knowledge of the iPad and iOS. REGISTER NOW!

"An Overview of Auditory Processing Disorder Subtypes and Practical Therapy Tips"
| |
|
Lynn Carahaly, M.A., CCC-SLP
Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist
October 16, 2013, -7:00 pm EDT (90 min)
Fee: $47 USD
An Auditory Processing Disorder can present itself in a few ways. Whether it is a student's primary diagnosis or part of an individual's more global problem, it is important to understand how various subtypes of APD adversely affect learning and daily living skills. This knowledge and understanding influences our treatment techniques and environmental modifications. It is also important to understand the role of attention and memory, to help us understand how APD can coexist with other disorders and learning disabilities.
The dynamic and spectral range of hearing is broader than any other sensory system. Humans can discern sounds ranging from a quiet murmur to a cannon shot, and spanning over ten octaves in pitch. If we translate vision to the same scale, we can only see a tenth of the corresponding dynamic intensity from dim to bright and only one "octave" of visual light frequency. An individual may be able to hear well, but listen poorly.
