SUMMARY:Autism: De-Escalate Meltdowns and Diffuse Explosive Behaviors in Children and Adolescents - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Do you work with children and adolescents with autism who exhibit explosive behaviors that interfere with their ability to effectively and efficiently navigate their environment? They appear willful\, obnoxious\, over reactive\, and unfeeling. They lose control of their ability to cope or regulate their behavior\, which can send them spiraling into a gut wrenching meltdown. \nJoin autism expert Joe’l Farrar\, M.Ed.\, CCC-SLP\, BCBA\, for this live webcast and learn proven strategies and techniques to help children and adolescents with autism de-escalate before a full blown meltdown ensues\, develop self-control and self-management skills to prevent future meltdowns and learn appropriate/replacement behaviors. Dozens of strategies will be taught through dynamic video case examples and demonstrations. “Teach them in the way they learn” will be a mantra throughout the program. \nWalk away with these interventions and more: \n\nBreathe card and emotions chart to develop self-control and self-management skills\nSurprise cards\, change of schedule cues\, and transition markers to alleviate anxiety\nVideo modeling and role playing to improve social/emotional communication\nFirst person stories and visual cues to promote positive behavior\nVisual cues\, music\, and software designed to increase attention and focus\nSocial stories\, social scripts\, and emotions charts to develop self-regulation\nSOCCSS\, keychain rules\, and t-charts to target challenging behaviors

SUMMARY:# 306 CAN-EAT Approach …Using medical\, motor\, & therapy strategies in pediatric feeding - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Pediatric feeding and swallowing problems that effect infants and children may be complex and often involve a combination of factors including issues that can make eating painful or difficult. In order to successfully remediate feeding problems\, clinicians must understand how medical and nutritional issues can contribute to feeding disorders and use a comprehensive approach to intervention. The CAN-EAT Approach© is a 2-day workshop focusing on medical\, nutritional\, and therapeutic strategies for children with pediatric feeding disorders. \n  \nThis course will allow participants to describe how pediatric feeding disorders are defined in the literature\, what the contributing factors include\, and how this relates to clinical practice. Identify primary gastrointestinal issues (gastroesophageal reflux\, constipation\, motility disorders\, eosinophilic esophagitis\, and visceral hyperalgesia) during a feeding evaluation and explain how these issues affect a child’s feeding skill development and ability to progress. Participants will analyze a child’s oral motor function and apply the knowledge in treatment making recommendations for appropriate diet\, utensil use\, and development of a therapy plan for skill development. Identify signs and symptoms of pharyngeal dysphagia or risk for pharyngeal dysphagia in a child and make appropriate recommendations for further assessment or treatment. Analyze moderate and complex pediatric feeding cases identifying barriers to feeding progression and apply principles to prioritize treatment strategies and write appropriate goals. Describe and apply examples of therapeutic techniques to reduce gagging\, improve liquid and food acceptance\, improve chewing skill\, and wean from a feeding tube. \n  \nIn the CAN-EAT Approach© “CAN” stands for comfort and nutrition which come first. Day one will focus on strategies to build GI comfort and good growth as well as explore other medical issues that interfere with feeding progression. Day two will focus on therapeutic strategies from a variety of philosophies. “EA” represents establishing acceptance of the spoon\, easy textures or mealtime routine. Then “T” stands for therapy for skill development and feeding progression. Therapeutic strategies for common feeding problems will be explored in depth through lecture and video demonstration. \n  \nInformation is applicable to infants and children from birth to 21 (class will discuss infants but is not focused on infant feeding issues) \n  \nInstructor: KRISTEN BRACKETT\, MS\, SLP/CCC

SUMMARY:The Sensory and Sleep Connection - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The American Academy of Pediatrics (2020) estimates 25-50% of all children and 40% of adolescents are affected by sleep problems. Since so many children suffer from sleep issues\, it is essential for all healthcare providers to recognize that sleep problems in children: can mimic symptoms of ADHD; cause depression and anxiety; may be linked to depressed immune responses; and in recent studies show a link to increased risk of diabetes\, heart disease\, and obesity (Sleep Foundation\, 2021). Adolescents who get an inadequate amount of sleep struggle more academically and have a higher incidence of mental health problems (Colrain &Baker\, 2011). Daytime and evening activities also improve or interfere with sleep quality. Using active learning strategies\, participants will be able to provide caregiver education and will learn evidence-based sleep routine and hygiene recommendations and strategies to support improved sleep-in pediatric clients. Promoting improved sleep-in pediatric clients improves family relationships and children’s success engaging in other important daily occupations. \nHighlights\n\nEvidence-based strategies to support improved sleep\nImplementing balanced screen/activity time\, routines\, and better sleep hygiene that promotes immediate change in sleeping patterns\nAddressing the negative impacts of inadequate sleep in the pediatric population through the latest evidence\, treatment strategies\, and case studies
