SUMMARY:Enhancing Executive Functions - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Have fun and learn activities you can put into practice right away. Strengthen your pediatric clients’ executive function using evidence-based strategies that are concrete and easy to implement. Activities can be tailored for all ages and diagnoses. This course will provide a brief description of what executive functions are and how to address them. Assessment tools will be described to enable clinicians to appropriately measure executive function abilities. Participants will gain insights into the current evidence base for executive function interventions\, covering key approaches like exercise\, meditation\, and computer-based techniques. We will engage in a collaborative brainstorming session to develop creative ideas for embedding these interventions into client-centered activities. A step-by-step intervention protocol derived from the research will be presented\, demonstrating how to embed executive function intervention into meaningful tasks and providing participants with practical strategies to take into their clinical practice. The theory behind the intervention will be discussed so that therapists can understand the “why” behind the “what.” Participants will walk away equipped with practical strategies to elevate their clinical practice. \nThe content of this program is germane to children\, students and clients 7-14 years old. \nHighlights\n\nImmediately implement evidence-based techniques to improve executive function abilities in your pediatric client\nAcquire practical assessment and treatment strategies tailored to address executive function deficits effectively

SUMMARY:# 306 CAN-EAT Approach …Using medical\, motor\, & therapy strategies in pedia - Live 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: Krisi Brackett PhD\, CCC-SLP\, C/NDT
