Intro to “Therapeutic Cognitive Training” Performance meets Mental Health:
Tools to enhance youth engagement in therapy through movement and cognitive development.


Course Description:

Have you ever struggled to connect with youth or teen clients? Had a client who comes to sessions but there is very little engagement during the session? Or are struggling with numerous client cancelations? We have developed a way to not only reduce each of those issues but to also decrease ADHD, Anxiety, and low self esteem symptoms in youth ages 11-21. Therapeutic Sports/Cognitive training combines the benefits of basic movement, cognitive development and therapeutic activities to create the ideal therapeutic environment for teens and athletes. The skills clients develop through this form of support have led to increased resilience, frustration tolerance, decreased impulsivity, self regulation and behavioral improvements. With the ultimate goal being to decrease cancelations, track progress tangibly, and improve therapeutic alliance between clinician and client. We believe this approach should be in every clinicians tool box.

Learning Objectives:
- Each participant will learn and understand the 5 basic cognitive functions of:
- Brain speed
- Intelligence/Decision making
- Attention
- Memory
- Audio/Visual Reaction
- How each cognitive function is connected to mental health and behavior improvements
- Participants will explore the power of experiential exercises as a more impactful form of behavioral modification and client engagement.
- Participants will learn basic movements of stability and agility that incorporates bilateral stimulation which leads to a reduction in overstimulation.
- Participants will walk away with basic understanding of how to apply the skills learned in the training to their therapeutic tool box.

Upon completion of this course attendees will earn 2 Category I Contact Hours.
