Reminder last day May 6 to avoid late registration - Facial Reflexes Level 1 May 28-30, 2011 San Ramon, CA

[Guest guest]

FYI, Just a reminder that tomorrow, May 6th, is the last day to register before a late registration fee is added for this course.  Please forward to anyone you know who may have an interest.

MNRI

Oral-Facial Reflex Integration course explores:

 

- The general MNRI Method

and the role played by the Facial Reflex Integration Program

 

- Oral-facial reflexes and

how they relate to primary motor reflex patterns and important body systems

 

- The role oral-facial

reflexes play in establishing a foundation for motor, communication and cognitive

development, and

  emotional and behavioral regulation   

- MNRI techniques to

assess, pattern, and integrate oral-facial reflexes

 

- How to create an MNRI oral-facial

reflex integration home program for individual clients

 -

- How to incorporate MNRI

Oral-Facial Reflex Integration course content into daily client and home

practice

 

Course Objectives:

 

Upon

successful completion of the three-day, 24-hour Oral-Facial Integration course,

participants:

 

1.   Learn about the

Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration SM (MNRI) Method

 

      a.   The

innate nature of the motor reflex system

           

      b.   The

role of a reflex and its sensory, motor, and central nervous system

mechanisms                                                             

 

      c.  When,

why, and how the brain engages in protection versus learning and development

      d.  The physiological and psychological basis for

motor program strategies and developmental stages

 

      e.  The maturational role of oral-facial reflexes

within the primary motor reflex system and the impact of dysfunctional reflex

            patterns on daily life.

 

2.

  Learn the importance of oral-facial

symmetry and the maturational progression of each oral-facial reflex

 

      a.   Identify

each reflex

 

      b.   Understand and explain the impact integration

of each oral-facial reflex can have on:

     

    - Survival mechanisms including breathing,

rooting, eating and general neuro-vascular function

 

    - Managing sensory input                         

 

    - Postural control and hand, mouth, ear, eye,

tongue, neck and cranial coordination systems

 

    - Nonverbal (emotional and cognitive expressions)

and verbal communication (articulation and speech)

 

    - Related primary motor reflex patterns

 

      c.   Explore

how oral-facial reflexes provide protection and support for the development of

higher skills, developing brain and               maturing body systems

 

3.   Learn to implement MNRI

assessment techniques to determine the integration state (i.e. integrated,

dysfunctional or

      pathological) of each

oral-facial reflexa.  Demonstrate

through supervised hands-on-application the ability to conduct an MNRI

assessment and adequately         determine the state of each oral-facial reflex

 

4.   Learn to implement the

MNRI techniques to integrate each oral-facial reflex

     

a.   Learn through

demonstration and hands-on-practice the MNRI techniques designed to activate

and integrate oral-facial        reflexes, and to address oral-facial symmetry issues

b.   Learn through course discussion and instructor

demonstration how to deal with unique and challenging client situations      using

MNRI method techniques

 

         c.   Demonstrate

for the course instructor the ability to apply integration procedures for each

oral-facial reflex

 

5.   Learn to use course knowledge to create and apply an individual

MNRI program for clients with various challenges

           

    a.   Use the MNRI pre-assessment techniques to

identify dysfunctional oral-facial reflexes

 

         b.  Develop an MNRI program for clients based on assessment

results and targeted individual challenges

 

    c.   Explore with client family the potential

impact the individualized program can have on

 

-    Body structure, posture, and motor reflex

maturation

 

-    Motor, communication and cognitive learning abilities

and emotional and behavioral regulation

           

6.   Explore, evaluate

and develop strategies to incorporate the use of the MNRI Oral-Facial Reflex

Integration course content into       daily client and home practice.
