TOTALLY TREATMENT

This is a 2-day workshop that is held two-three times a year.  It is designed by and OT & PT for therapists working in pediatric aquatics.  You will learn dramatic and effective techniques from trained OT/PT aquatic therapists.  This fast-paced course includes classroom style discussions and video tapes of actual therapy sessions coupled with getting into the water and practicing techniques you will learn on children appearing in the videos.  This dynamic progression of therapy moves way beyond traditional individual treatment.

Objectives of TOTALLY TREATMENT:
  • gain knowledge of how to perform pediatric aquatic evaluation and develop an individual treatment plan
  • gain increased repertoire of pediatric aquatic treatment ideas and handling techniques for individual therapy as well as small groups
  • understand the uses and application of aquatic equipment with the pediatric population
  • learn how to develop effective aquatic treatments to compliment current land based programs

This course is typically held in Norwalk, Connecticut BUT we are able to hold our conference in your home town with attendance limited to 20 therapists/students.

TESTIMONIALS

"The Totally Treatment workshop was amazing!  Aileen and Cindy provided our staff a unique opportunity to broaden our overall knowledge of aquatic therapy, learn specific handling techniques and practice our skills on each other and with the children we treat on land and in the pool.  This hands-on workshop was tailored to meet all levels of staff expertise and incorporated a variety of treatment methods including principles of NDT, oral-motor and sensory integration.  Their open forum encouraged a creative exchange and helped build confidence with staff.  Aileen and Cindy’s many years of experience treating children with a wide variety of disabilities and diagnoses was evident in the ease in which they handled our students and discussed individualized treatment options. This workshop went beyond our expectations and will serve as a foundation for continued program development!
