The course focuses on developmental foundational systems of basic movement patterns that will provide therapists with a toolbox of techniques for treatment. These tools include tissue release techniques; suck, swallow, breathe program; Rhythmic Release and Restoration (RRR); and the Stepping Forward Program. Development of this course emerged from an effort to remove barriers caused by our autonomic nervous system’s perception of safe versus unsafe state of arousal and that impact on movement, thought, and coordination. It will provide the therapist with hands on experience with these techniques and allow quick
integration into their own therapy skills for evaluation and treatment. It uses recent research findings with a new twist to establish motor efficiency in all planes of movement. This program presents evaluation of movement components and their ties to the autonomic nervous system and primitive reflex system through lecture, video examples, and lab experiences.

Irene Ingram is a 1978 graduate of the Medical University of South Carolina. She loves learning, problem solving and helping each child reach their potential. She has a vast range of study that includes:
- Sensory integration certification in 1981.
- Extensive study in sensory processing & sensory defensiveness.
- Auditory integration with use of Therapeutic Listening and Samonas Sound Therapy.
- Intensive work combining Lindamood-Bell programs with other academics and Brain integration programs for bringing foundational skills into the child’s reading, math, spelling and comprehension.
- Work with the arousal system for the child’s modulation, self management, and attention.
- Development of function in the body and hands for function in the home, self help, fine motor, gross motor, and visual perceptual skills.
- Cranial sacral therapy and lymphatic drainage of the brain is used in some cases for assisting the body to improve its information processing and overall health.
