Are you looking for more precise ways to deliver vestibular input in therapy?

Vestibular intervention is most effective when sound, movement, and vision are intentionally integrated. This course explores the Vestibular–Auditory–Visual Triad and provides practical tools for delivering more targeted, regulation-supportive sensory input across clinical settings.

Join us for Astronaut Training this weekend and expand your sensory integration toolkit.

Regulation doesn’t begin with behavior — it begins in the body.

Join Sheila Frick, OTR/L and Jaymie Stavdal for a free live webinar exploring how breath, posture, tone, and early movement patterns shape regulation, emotional stability, and functional development.

In this clinical conversation, you’ll explore:
• How breath impacts regulation and function
• Why posture matters for sensory integration and emotional stability
• What early movement patterns reveal about development
• How to shift from “What should I do?” to “What does this body need?”

Whether you work with neurodivergent individuals, sensory challenges, or nervous system dysregulation, this session will offer practical insights you can apply immediately.
