Workshop Title
Swingle ClinicalQ and Braindriving: A Time-Cost Effective Targeted Approach to Assessment and Treatment
Workshop Description
This full day workshop will present theory, evidence, and practice methods. In the morning, participants will be taught the ClinicalQ; a rapid, efficient assessment method to identify anomalous brain activity associated with clients’ presenting symptoms (e.g., those found in ADHD, learning, focus & memory issues, anxiety, depression and other emotional regulation issues, insomnia, addiction, trauma, etc.)
The afternoon will be hands on, wherein participants will practice the ClinicalQ assessment method and learn how to select, administer (and sequence) protocols based upon the information derived from the ClinicalQ.
In this burgeoning field of QEEG, selecting methods (technologies & equipment) can be overwhelming for many new, as well as seasoned, practitioners. The current speed and complexity of growth, however, has left increasing space for equipment and methods that ‘do it all’ with many assessments/interventions at risk of losing their clinical focus, precision, efficacy and efficiency.
The ClinicalQ and Braindriving method has a strong record of reliability and validity in identifying, and efficiently treating, client specific identified inefficiencies. directly associated with clients’ active symptoms and reported symptom sets. The method simplifies clinical process with precision targeting. Many find it the perfect fit between highly effective broad scope19 channel and easy to use ‘boxed’ programs with unknown reliability/validity.
The method can be administered through vetted hardware/software programs (commercialized suites and report writers approved / supported by Swingle Clinic) or administered on any equipment that can record raw EEG and convert to numerical values following the published parameters, non-commercialized intellectual property of Swingle Clinic.
Learning Objectives
- 1) Learn / review the underlying theory and understand the rational of the five 10/20 locations in the ClinicalQ.
2) Understand the information relevant to each individual 10/20 location, as well as how they interact (single site and constellation patterns to watch for in interpretation).
3) Learn how to administer the ClinicalQ
4) Learn how to read and interpret the ClinicalQ assessment, select and administer relevant protocols.
