** 我們提供密集運動訓練課程：

* 密集運動訓練治療法［TheraSuit Method®］:

此療法起源於蘇聯太空人於太空無重力下返回地球後，許多肌肉及運動功能降低，藉由穿著思若速特裝具 (TheraSuit®)和運用全方位動器

材(Universal Exercise Unit)，統合運用各種不同的治療手法及誘發技巧 (NDT,PNF, TAMO, Pilates,...等)，針對腦性麻痺及運動或協調控制功

能障礙者的個別需求，量身規劃，而發展出的一套密集運動訓練治療計畫。它針對的治療對象是腦性麻痺、運動功能遲緩、頭部創傷、唐

氏症，高或低肌肉張力或肌力不足等的神經肌肉及運動功能失調或障礙患者．此治療法是由完成合格訓練的治療師運用密集體能運動訓練

的原理和專屬器材，為小孩量身訂定的運動治療計劃．為配合兒童及家長的需要，我們有不同的密集運勳訓練課程提供選擇。

* Intensive Therapy Program (ITP) -

The Intensive Therapy Program (ITP) is customized to fit the needs of each special needed child. The Intensive Therapy Program follows the " TheraSuit Method® " which is an intensive strengthening program to treat various neurological disorders such as Cerebral Palsy, neuro-musculoskeletal or neuro-motor disorders, Grobal or Developmental Delays, and Traumatic Brain Injuries or Spinal Cord Injuries. This method utilizes the TheraSuit® and Universal Exercise Unit combined with various treatment and handling strategies to combat the effects of de-conditioning and immobilization to promote the maximum potential of independence.

Overview of TheraSuit Method

Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) is an advanced and widely recognized therapeutic approach. This hands-on approach is used in working with people who have central nervous system insults that create difficulties in controlling movement. The therapists using NDT treatment work closely with individuals with neurological challenges (e.g. cerebral palsy, stroke, head injury). We help them to become as independent as possible. The therapists work collaboratively with individuals, family, caregivers and physicians to develop comprehensive treatment programs based on the principles of human neurology and physiology. It focuses on handling techniques to maximize proximal stability in the body, thus improving postural control and functional mobility.

Sensory integration is an innate neurobiological process and refers to the integration and interpretation of sensory stimulation from the environment by the brain. In contrast, sensory integrative dysfunction is a disorder in which sensory input is not integrated or organized appropriately in the brain and may produce varying degrees of problems in development, information processing, and behavior. A general theory of sensory integration and treatment has been developed by Dr. A. Jean Ayres from studies in the neurosciences and those pertaining to physical development and neuromuscular function.

Sensory integration focuses primarily on three basic senses--tactile, vestibular, and proprioceptive. Their interconnections start forming before birth and continue to develop as the person matures and interacts with his/her environment. The three senses are not only interconnected but are also connected with other systems in the brain. Although these three sensory systems are less familiar than vision and audition, they are critical to our basic survival. The inter-relationship among these three senses is complex. Basically, they allow us to experience, interpret, and respond to different stimuli in our environment.

* Therapeutic Listening-

Therapeutic Listening is a sound-based intervention that is embedded in the sensory integration perspective. It has evolved from clinical work built on a foundation of developmental and neurological principles. Like other sensory integrative interventions. Therapeutic Listening has a strong impact on sub-cortical processing of sensor-motor function. As a result, it can be effective for a variety of occupations ranging from basic arousal, sensory modulation, and praxis to focused attention and academics. Therapeutic Listening can be implemented in a variety of settings although it is primarily a home-based program. It is individualized for each client and with the guidance of a trained practitioner can be easily implemented by parents, teachers, and other caregivers.

Because the auditory system has connections to many parts of the brain, sound is a powerful way to access the nervous system and affect changes at all levels. The music in Therapeutic Listening CDs gives the listener unique and precisely controlled sensory information. The music is electronically modified to highlight the parts of the the sound spectrum that naturally trigger attention and activate body movement, synchronizing it with the environment. Therapeutic Listening uses electronic modification, along with the organized, rhythmical sound patterns inherent in music, to trigger the self-organizing capacities of the nervous system.

Therapeutic Listening uses a variety of movement activities designed to elicait the adaptive responses that are the cornerstone of sensory integrative treatment. These activities develop and strengthen the postural responses along with healthy and relaxed breathing patterns. In this way, Therapeutic Listening sets up the body and the nervous system for emergent skills and has been found decrease the time necessary to meet treatment goals.

We provide traditional therapy services (Early Intervention Program, CPSE program, and RSA Program). Treatment includes physical exercises to improve joint mobility and stability, to increase muscle strength and endurance, to facilitate balance and coordination control, and to promote functional skills.

Therapeutic goals are focused on:

1. helping children improve their mobility and stability during their activities of daily living.
2. preventing or improving the child's permanent physical disabilities.
3. improving the child's functional skills.
4. assessing assistive or adaptive devices to reach the child's maximum improvement (including wheelchairs, walker, crutches or orthotics).
