This is another in a series of brief communications from our faculty, featuring their work, and the sessions they are preparing for the EXPRESSIVE THERAPIES SUMMIT. I hope you find them of interest, and will forward them to others.
Today's is from Linda Levine Madori, PhD, ATR-BC, LCAT. She is the author and primary researcher of the TTAP Method,™ which was was awarded New York State METRO Most Innovative Program of the Year in May, 2010. The TTAP Method, is a nine-step multimodal arts-based approach grounded in neuroscience, learning theories, and developmental psychology. It provides a theme-based structure for helping clients to move through meditation, music, drawing, painting, sculpture, poetry, movement, dance, and photography in their creative arts treatment.
According to Linda, "Seven international studies have thus far confirmed strong correlations between the TTAP Method and enhanced cognition and psychosocial wellbeing in well elderly, those in community day centers, and individuals diagnosed with mild and moderate Alzheimer’s disease. In 2010, I established an international TTAP Method ™ certification training through St. Thomas Aquinas College and the University of Applied Sciences in Helsinki, Finland."
In her November 13 session at the Summit, Linda will discuss how different regions of the brain are stimulated by the TTAP Method. Come learn how this approach can help you assess, implement, plan, evaluate, and research the creative arts in therapy with any population.
