Robin C AbbottRobin Abbott has been an occupational therapist for over 20 years. She did not learn about the benefits of auditory and controlled vestibular therapy during either her Bachelor's or Master's degree training in occupational therapy. After post-professonal training in advanced Therapeutic Listening(c) and Astronaut Training(c), having seen some of the therapy-accelerating effects of these treatments, she was curious about why these treatments were so uniquely powerful. She began cobbling together the available research in her field, as well as neuroscience, audiology and rehabilitation science, creating a more objective picture of the effect of this therapy that confirmed the wonderful improvements she was seeing in her clients.As she practiced with children throughout the country (having moved a variety of places with her military spouse, Chris) she realized that these effective therapies were not commonly practiced. Historically, other effective treatments have not become widely available without the active involvement of parents, educators, and clinic-based therapists; all of whom insist on the availability of therapy that will help the children they care about. Auditory and controlled-vestibular therapy needed this type of grass-roots push! This book is Robin's effort to inform and enlighten the child-caring community about this treatment, so that they can be the best advocates for their children.Robin has presented these ideas to parents, therapists and students throughout the US and internationally. She has a TedX talk available online and is the founder of Dovetail Therapy. Now retired, she lives in Iowa with Chris. Still involved in healing, she is a practicing massage therapist and yoga teacher. She has two grown children and enjoys backpacking, reading, and gardening.
