IM has always been an invaluable tool for parents and educators, and these webinars outline how to incorporate IM training into a school setting. We cover everything from summer camps to writing IEP goals in these educator-focused webinars.

Autism Spectrum Disorders present a unique set of challenges. Children deal with a wide range of symptoms and require very different treatment plans. These webinars will help providers who work with children that have this special blend of social and communication troubles.

Brain injuries can occur anywhere, anytime and to anyone. Whether it is external trauma, disease or a stroke, lingering effects on the brain can rob someone of his or her quality of life. Restoring that quality of life for brain injury patients is the goal of these courses.

It is well established that the rate of development is most rapid during the preschool years. Early intervention is critical to prevent or minimize the future impact of disability. These webinars are great for anyone working with infant & toddler populations that may already be showing signs of developmental delays and motor difficulties. Additionally, the hands-on approach to IM training that has been so successful with young children has also been shown to be effective for older children and adults with severe disabling conditions.

IM isn't just for the use in the clinic. It's completely portable & is a very important part of the treatment plan for home healthcare & skilled nursing facility patients who are trying to get back on their feet again after an injury or illness. Learn how IM training can motivate clients to participate in therapy, decrease missed visits, and accelerate treatment outcomes.

It is important to tailor services to children, who may not have the strength, attention and cognitive development necessary to complete some IM tasks. Being flexible is the key to success and we've got plenty of information on unique strategies to use with IM assessment & training.

The specific motor skill that is practiced is as important repetition for the successful habilitation/rehabilitation of motor skills following neurological injury. IM is also uniquely suited to facilitate the neuromuscular communication needed to restore shoulder balance post injury, as well as providing performance-based visual and auditory feedback in order to develop neuromuscular balance of the proximal wrist and carpal joints and facilitate dexterity and fine motor manipulation following injury to the hand. Learn how to adapt & individualize IM training to address motor timing & rhythm for neurological conditions like hemiplegia, ataxia, and dyspraxia as well various orthopedic conditions impacting the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder for more rapid and extensive treatment outcomes.

Neural timing & synchronization are at the heart of many neurological conditions like Parkinson's and Tourettes. Learn how to adapt specific exercises to meet the unique needs of these client populations.

Learn effective strategies for building and managing your practice, from growing and scaling, to navigating the complex and often frustrating world of insurance, to helping clients find alternative payment options for IM training with these courses.

Children with early speech and language disorders are at greater risk for developing reading problems later on. Many of these children have difficulty with processing speech sounds. Subsequently, exposure to fewer and less complex reading materials over time negatively impacts oral language skills. Research has repeatedly shown that IM impacts reading fluency, rate and comprehension. These webinars will provide you with practical tips for IM training & best practices to help children reach their reading and language potential.

Sensory signals received by the central nervous system do not become organized into an appropriate response in individuals with SPD, making it difficult to process and act appropriately. SPD and ADHD can lead to difficulty with academics, peer relations, and carrying out activities of daily living. Find out how to adapt your approach & settings to optimize your IM training outcomes for individuals with SPD & ADHD.

Research shows that an individual's ability to synchronize motor movements with a steady auditory beat is directly linked to the auditory brainstem's response to sound. Those that can synchronize more accurately, as measured in milliseconds, have less neural jitter and can produce and process sound more accurately, leading to more normal development of speech, language and literacy skills. On the other hand, those that struggle with timing & rhythm have more neural jitter in the auditory system resulting in disordered development. Learn more about integrating IM into pediatric and adult SLP practice for improved treatment outcomes.

Help your athletes find the "zone" to increase accuracy, decrease variability and achieve automaticity of execution in sports. These informative courses provide information regarding the scientific basis for use of IM with amateur and elite athletes as well as detailed instruction for customizing training for specific sports.

Help your clients achieve their goals even though they can't make it in to see you with enough frequency for direct IM training. These courses are presented by providers with years of successful IM Home implementation with the goal of sharing best practice tips & strategies for optimal results.

Just like motor coordination & auditory processing, the brain requires precise neural timing for visual processing & executive functions. These courses focus on specific adaptations of IM to address these important abilities.
