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

SUMMARY:The Cerebellum and Development - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Scientific advancements in the knowledge of the many functions of the cerebellum has exploded over the last several years. This structure known as the “little brain” was once thought to control only motor functions. Researchers now know that the cerebellum is an important structure for a multitude of functions. These many functions include motor control\, coordination\, rhythmic movement\, executive function skills\, attention\, and modulation of sensory input. Cerebellar dysfunction has been found to be associated with ADHD\, autism\, Parkinson’s disease\, and other disorders.Using this new research\, therapists can facilitate activation of this very important brain structure through rhythm\, balance\,and coordination activities. As your understanding of the importance of this structure develops\, you will be able to incorporate these activities into your treatment sessions. \nHighlights\n\nRecognize the influence of the cerebellum on balance\, movement\, coordination\, executive function skills\, learning and social skills\nImprove your understanding of the influence of the cerebellum in various disorders including ADHD\, autism and Parkinson’s disease\nDevelop effective treatment strategies to promote activity within the cerebellum

SUMMARY:Empowering Handwriting Proficiency - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:With the explosion of technology in the classroom\, it was predicted students participating in handwriting-based activities would become obsolete. However\, handwriting continues to be essential to a child’s ability to participate in their school/academic environment. More than half of the preschool Common Core standards address handwriting (Tortorelli et al. 2021). It is also concerning that even neuro- typical children have shown reduced motor proficiency (Benda et al. 2021). Based on the evidence\, the influence of environmental factors and societal differences in how children play can influence the development of the underlying components (cognitive\, sensory\, motor\, visual-motor\, and visual perceptual skills) needed to attain proficient handwriting. Clinicians who work with children in a variety of settings are equipped to support and facilitate handwriting development and confidence. This course will provide the latest evidence-based approaches and strategies to address handwriting. Additionally\, it will provide hands-on strategies to evaluate and develop interventions that can have a profound functional impact within their practice setting. \nThe content of this program is germane to children\, students and clients 5-11 years old. \nHighlights\n\nImpactful strategies to influence improved dexterity skills using approaches based on neuroplasticity\nEffective\, evidence-based interventions to address handwriting confidence and performance
