SUMMARY:#7309 Therapeutic Intervention for Children with Severe Involvement … Care for medically complex diagnosed patients - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Designing\, implementing\, and measuring success of therapy sessions for children with severe involvement and/or medically complex diagnoses can be challenging.  This webinar will provide you with the tools to create playful treatment sessions that are focused on a measurable functional outcome referencing current concepts of motor learning\, motor control\, neuroplasticity and the NDTA™ Contemporary Practice of NDT. Case studies and video analysis with guided discussion will provide an opportunity for fine tuning assessment skills\, prioritizing identified impairments\, developing goal attainment scale (GAS) goals\, and formulating intervention strategies for improved patient performance of functional activities and activities of daily living (ADL’s). Appropriate adjuncts to traditional therapy for the child with severe involvement and/or medically complex diagnosis will be discussed. \n  \nInstructor: Leslie Paparsenos\, PT\, Physiotherapist\, MS\, C/NDT

SUMMARY:#306 CAN-EAT Approach …Using medical\, motor\, & therapy strategies in pediatric feeding - Web Conderence
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:AAC Essentials: Practical Strategies\, Myths Debunked\, and Common Mistakes to Avoid  - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:TalkTools® virtual streaming workshops and webinars are recorded. Recorded presentations are available for 2 days after the dates posted and accessible only to learners who purchased a seat for this course.  \nAs advocates for individuals with disabilities and their families\, we have witnessed how AAC can transform lives\, offering learners opportunities for meaningful communication and connection. While many professionals bring valuable expertise\, our aim with this interactive training is to equip service providers with practical strategies for introducing and expanding AAC effectively. Through engaging visuals\, interactive activities\, and approachable language\, attendees will feel confident in supporting families and educators to embrace AAC as a visual language. \nAugmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC) is a proven evidence-based practice\, yet common myths and missteps—such as relying on PECS protocols when introducing high-tech AAC—can delay progress and lead to device abandonment. This training addresses these barriers and provides actionable solutions to set learners and their families up for long-term success. Through make-and-take resources and demonstrations\, attendees will gain two key strategies for teaching others how to implement and grow AAC use in classrooms\, clinics\, and homes. Participants will leave inspired and ready to guide their teams in supporting learners in their communication journey. \n\nWebinar Details \n\nInstructor Details and Financial Disclosure  \n\nJanna Bedoyan\, M.Ed.\, NBCT\nMorgan van Diepen\, M.Ed.\, BCBA\n\nRegistration Fees\n\n$150 includes: 2-hour CE Course\, digital handout(s) & certificate of completion.\n\nSchedule\nTimed Agenda \n\n5 minutes: Introduction and objectives\n5 minutes: The importance of taking a collaborative approach to supporting AAC users (research review)\n5 minutes: Understanding AAC as a new language (activity)\n10 minutes: Common AAC misconceptions (poll activity)\n30 minutes: Common AAC errors + solutions (demonstration & activity)\n5 minutes: Preventing device abandonment (discussion)\n5 minutes: Using AAC to teach AAC (activity & discussion)\n30 minutes: First strategy for incorporating AAC modeling into clinical\, school\, or home-based sessions (make & take handouts)\n25 minutes: Second strategy for incorporating AAC modeling into clinical\, school\, or home-based sessions (video & make & take handouts)
