APR 19 MSE WEBINAR: Using Assessment Tools to Accelerate Learning

This webinar training series is produced by the Quality of Life Institute, Inc., and provided as an educational service to promote the potentials and possibilities for quality of life outcomes, when working with others in multi-sensory environments. Presentation of topics is approximately 45 minutes, with some additional time allowed for questions and discussion.

Join the conversation…inspiration…resources

Using Assessment Tools to Accelerate One’s Learning and Growth is the upcoming topic for our webinar series: Re-Imagining Multi-Sensory Environments, Designs, Uses, and Applications for Snoezelen®-based, Multi-Sensory Environments.

This exploration will illustrate a typical path of engagement with Snoezelen®-based MSE processes. Learn how to use initial assessment tools, and then how to apply what is learned to inviting one’s engagement and developing their treatment plan.

We will discuss the supportive role of the therapist and how to cultivate and accelerate one’s continued learning and growth, by doing things to expand the experience beyond the MSE room, that provide ongoing challenge for enriching one’s experience.

A framework of Gentle Teaching supports an individual’s plan with relationship-building and mentoring processes, for for continued discovery and learning beyond the multi-sensory room. Creating meaningful moments and cultivating social awareness is integral to the application of this framework. Sometimes it is challenging, especially during times when extrinsic worth is the focus. We will discuss how to shift this focus and how Gentle Teaching cultivates our own awareness and learning of who this other person is, and supporting their choices.
