SUMMARY:Manual Therapy for the Disorders of Speech\, Swallowing and voice: A Hands-On Approach the LoMonte Technique
DESCRIPTION:Many patients present with muscular tension\, fascial restrictions\, fibrosis\, edema and other connective tissue problems that inhibit the structures necessary for normal speech\, swallowing and voice. These tissue deficits will often interfere with our ability to utilize standard interventions and subsequently prevent optimal outcomes. Manual therapy is a method of using skilled touch to assess and provide specific movements of joints and soft tissue to improve tissue extensibility; increase range of motion; induce relaxation; mobilize or manipulate soft tissue and joints; modulate pain; and reduce soft tissue swelling\, inflammation\, or restriction. \nThere are many types of manual therapy techniques such as manual lymphatic drainage\, myofascial release\, massage\, stretch\, mobilization/manipulation\, and passive range of motion. This intimate hands-on training will provide those working with speech\, voice and swallowing disorders an introduction to some basic manual therapy techniques to analyze and address the tissue problems that may be interfering with normal sensory and movement patterns. This will in turn allow for a better designed intervention plan and result in overall improved outcomes. This course is a must for anyone treating NPC or other head and neck cancer patients. \n  \nYou will experience manual therapy as a clinician and a patient. This course will provide training for hands-on touch to the head\, face\, jaw\, neck\, upper shoulders and upper chest. Please wear comfortable clothes that will allow you to confidently lie down and get up repeated times. Gym clothes or leggings are most appropriate. You must also wear a shirt that allows for skin contact of the shoulders and upper chest. A tank like or athletic top is best. You must feel comfortable with placing your hands on others in a therapeutic manner and likewise having others place their hands on you. \nThe benefits of touch are many\, from soothing a hypersensitive nervous system\, to improving sleep patterns\, and boosting the immune system. You will not only learn how to provide such an important therapy to your patients but you will also receive an extra benefit from\nexperiencing the therapy first hand. \nDate: 11 Mar 2023 (Sat) / 12 Mar 2023 (Sun) /15 Mar 2023 (Wed) \nTime: 9:00am to 6:30pm (Tea Breaks and Lunch is provided) \n  \n2023 Manual Therapy

SUMMARY:Online Colourful Semantics Training with ITS (Non UK Only)
DESCRIPTION:THIS ONLINE TRAINING COURSE IS FOR NON UK DELEGATES ONLY \nTraining begins at 8am HKT (Hong Kong Time) \nWe will run through the Colourful Semantics approach and also provide you with inspiration for classroom implementation \nWhat is Colourful Semantics? \nColourful Semantics is the ‘meaning of the words’ and this is made colourful by breaking down and colour coding different parts of a sentence. Colourful Semantics is a speech and language therapy intervention that indirectly works on developing a child’s grammar through the use of: \nSpoken sentences \nAnswering W/H questions \nUse of nouns\, verbs\, prepositions and adjectives \nStory telling skills \nWritten sentences and language comprehension \nYou will be able to work through the Colourful Semantics programme to encourage the child to create sentences. This is initially taught by focusing on sorting out colours\, which will then progress to an understanding that there are different parts that make up a sentence. \nThe overall aim is for the child to eventually produce grammatical and informational sentences. \nTo assist you with implementation in the classroom\, downloadable resources are available on our website to download for free or you can follow our Facebook resources page to see the latest topic based classroom resources. \nAgenda \nArrival On Zoom at 7.50 for 8.00am start \nSession 1 \nWhat is it?
