This workshop will discuss the essential role of the body, multisensory experience, and nonverbal movement exploration in the developing parent-child relationship.

Based on the intricate relationship between the brain, the body, emotion and nonverbal movement expression participants will gain an understanding of the role multisensory experience plays in all levels of development, using Tortora's Ways of Seeing program.

This multisensory and nonverbal perspective will be discussed through lecture, video and experiential learning across a continuum from infancy through adulthood. Topics will include trauma, anxiety, and children with developmental issues including sensory processing, communication delay and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
