Environmental Enrichment from Teresa Garland
More information about Medical:
Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.
Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
Outline:
Introduction to the Environmental Enrichment (EE) Protocol
- What is it?
- What evidence do we have?
A Step-by-Step Guide to the Enrichment Protocol
- The short and long versions
- The materials
- How, where and when to put the protocol in place
Activities to Enrich the Senses in Autism
- 34 activities
- Live demonstrations with children
Modifications to the Enrichment Protocol
- Grade the challenge with alternate activities
- Add in speech, physical exercise, rhythm and emotional activities
Description:
- A NEW sensory awareness and desensitization protocol:
- Decrease autism symptoms and severity
- Increase awareness of touch, temperature, vision and movement
- Increase tolerance of sound and scent
- Live demonstrations with children!
- Latest research
In this workshop, you will learn how to customize and implement a sensory awareness and desensitization protocol for a child with autism of any age in a home or school setting. This evidence-based protocol (Woo & Leon, 2013, 2015) has been shown to reduce autism severity in children of all ages. You will walk away with 34 rotating activities that develop the child’s awareness to hot/cold, visual, touch, vestibular and sound sensations. Additional activities for speech, physical exercise and emotions are included and can be incorporated into the original protocol. You will learn how to adapt the 34 activities to give the child a just-right challenge. There will be live demonstrations of the activities.
