Presentations...

So today I had to face one of my fears: presentations! I've found that presentations given to college professors are much more enjoyable than the type of presentation I gave tonight. We gave an informational presentation to our parents at the clinic about Therapeutic Listening, and the parents seemed very receptive. Minus a few technical glitches (as always), the presentation was a success.

Therapeutic Listening is a sensory-integration based, research-backed treatment technique that uses modulated music to affect multiple outcomes-- not just auditory goals. It's my new favorite specialty, mainly because of my longstanding passion for music and its therapeutic qualities. We've been using it at our clinic for 2 weeks since I've been certified, and I've seen remarkable outcomes already. Kids that used to fear movement are seeking it out, non-verbal kids imitating sounds... pretty cool stuff.

Defector

So I've made the executive decision to switch back to blogspot. It's just so much easier for me to use than livejournal. Stay tuned! May be we'll actually update.
