SUMMARY:Breathing\, Digestion and Swallowing: Best Practices in Dysphagia Management - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:What’s the safest diet? Is he aspirating? Can she swallow these pills? He hates the pureed food – what else can we do? She’s refusing the thick liquids! Is he going to get pneumonia? Does he need a feeding tube? \nThese are issues that we face every day in our work with children and adults with dysphagia. How do we keep our clients safe\, while making sure they’re well hydrated and well nourished\, and normalize eating as much as possible? \nSometimes\, it’s about more than just swallowing. \nThis course will examine the inter-relationships between respiration\, gastrointestinal function\, and swallowing to allow clinicians to better identify the underlying causes of their client’s swallowing difficulties. We’ll look at specific respiratory and GI diagnoses and their impact on what\, when\, how much\, and how safely our clients eat. Using clinical case studies\, we’ll examine the evidence to provide you with the tools you need to perform a thorough assessment and implement a comprehensive treatment plan that takes into account all of the potential contributing factors. ​

SUMMARY:The Latest Integrative Research & Approaches in the Successful Treatment of Chronic Pain Conditions - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The National Institute for Health reports that 25.3 million Americans live with chronic pain\, while health economists estimate that the cost of chronic pain in the United States is $635 billion annually.

SUMMARY:Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Tapping: Evidence-Based\, Mind-Body Treatment Approach to the Anxiety Spectrum Disorders and Pain - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The anxiety spectrum exemplifies the disorders where emotions override thought. Fragmented memories get stored in the body. The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) collapse this uncomfortable emotional and physical reactivity\, freeing a path for spontaneous insights and clearer thinking. \nEmotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a comprehensive mind-body treatment that desensitizes three areas: unwanted thoughts\, emotions\, and physical reactions. EFT combines physical interventions derived from restorative (self-applied) acupressure theory with cognitive interventions. \nEFT is an evidence-based practice with over 100 published studies. One published study demonstrated a 24% decrease in cortisol (stress hormone) level in the EFT group (Energypsych.org). EFT is an effective brief therapy and belongs in every therapist’s tool box. \nTransform your clinical excellence. Bring EFT into your practice and treat resistant problems that other methods failed. \nThis live webcast focuses on cutting-edge techniques of EFT to treat the anxiety spectrum disorders\, including: \n\nPhobias\nGeneralized Anxiety\nSocial Anxiety Disorder\nPanic\nOCD\nAcute Traumatic Stress Reactions\n\nThese mind-body methods are emerging into mainstream mental health\, trauma treatment\, coaching\, employee assistance programs\, and sport psychology arenas as a rapid\, effective\, non-invasive\, calming\, desensitizing tool. Do not miss this opportunity to learn evidence-based techniques you can use immediately with your clients and improve treatment outcomes.

SUMMARY:Exercise in Geriatric Rehabilitation - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The latest practice analysis identifies over 53% of rehabilitation patients are over the age of 65 years. Many of these older adults have functional limitations due to the fact that older adults are generally less physically active than theiryounger counterparts or due to difficulties returning to normal function following illness or injury. Exercise is a non- pharmacological intervention that can have beneficial effects on multiple domains of function. However\, the application of exercise by health care professionals is often under-dosed leading to minimal changes in this patient population. Olderadults can pose unique challenges for clinicians due to their sedentary lifestyle and potential for complex medical history. \nRehabilitation professionals are experts in movementscience and should play an integral role in prescription of appropriate physical activity to ensure maximal levels of success with older adults\, so we need to do better for this new majority of patients. This course will provide you with a better understanding of primary aging processes that may affect an older adult’s functional status. An evidence-basedapproach for exercise prescription will be discussed to ensure that exercise science principles are used during plan of care development.

SUMMARY:Low Vision Identification\, Assessment\, & Treatment to Maximize Functional Skills - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:An estimated 285 million people are currently suffering from low-vision and visual impairment impacting their daily tasks world-wide (Zetterlund\, Lundqvist\, & Richter\, 2019). In the United States alone these deficits are costing over 16 billion in healthcare dollars which carries a significant burden for patients (Shah et al\, 2018). As rehabilitation professionals we have the unique opportunity to identify ways to maximize a patients’ function and reduce burden of care. This course will aim to better equip therapists in the understanding of low vision diagnoses and how to service this population in orderto maximize function safely. \nThis course will focus on the ability select appropriate functional evaluations for their discipline in order to modify and establish treatment plans for the low vision patient. Immediate-use resources will be identified for therapists toimplement next-day in clinic for treatment effectiveness. Participants to this course will be able to identify the common low vision diagnoses impacting patient function. Participants will leave understanding the link between balance and visionwill be defined with patient risk factors discussed fortherapists to better identify “at-risk” clientele and grow their practice.

SUMMARY:Positioning & Movement During Play - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Play is a natural and essential part of our children’s lives that we want to support with active engagement and provide opportunities for learning. There are a variety of benefits to play\, but it is important to understand the different kinds of play and how we can expand upon it in our treatment of children. We need to understand our children\, by reading their cues\, and engaging in interactions to build their brains through play. We want to provide opportunities to increase the neural connections to improve their quality of movement. Our children are intrinsically motivated during play and explore their environments to help develop and strengthen their motor skills. Efficient movements of the body are impacted by the coordination of neuromuscular\, cardiopulmonary\, and sensory systems. Motor development impacts the ability of children to explore their environments\, but also has a crucial role in their cognitive\, emotional\, and social development. \nThis course will improve a therapist’s understanding of aclient’s neuromuscular and sensory-motor development tosupport optimal positioning and movement. Therapists will better understand the effectiveness of interventions to helpimprove learning\, success with everyday activities\, academic achievement\, and social interactions in a variety of environments. Strategies discussed will support body awareness\, strengthening\, and motor planning skills foreffective execution of movements during play with goal-directed activities. Attendees will review the importance for team collaboration to provide motivating\, but challenging\, movement activities to support the child in a variety of environments.

SUMMARY:Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Since stroke is one of the leading conditions seen by therapists and considering stroke is the leading cause of sensorimotor disability\, this is the strongest evidence-based approach to helping an individual regain motor functioning and skills. The effectiveness of this approach is well- established yet the formal structured use of this “vehicle” for stroke recovery is seldom used due to the barriers within the traditional rehabilitation model\, such as insurance reimbursement. Consequently\, this webinar will go over ways to implement this approach with adults and children through the modification of the traditional approach to CIMT. This workshop will give the participant another approach to add to their stroke toolbox so they can immediately implement this within the clinic or as a home program.

SUMMARY:Comprehensive Management of Falls in Older Adults - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Falls among older adults remain one the most pressing issues for rehabilitation professionals. More than 95% of hip fractures are caused by falling and falls cost the healthcare system about $31 billion dollars annually. The good news is that falls are not a normal part of aging and that they are preventable. Additionally\, many of the risk factors associated with falling can be modified with the help of healthcare professionals. But clinicians have to understand the complexnature of falls and implement the most up to date interventions to effectively manage these patients. \nThis course will provide attendees a deeper understanding of the interplay between risk factors associated with falls. Additionally\, attendees will review and practice the most evidence-based examination and evaluative tools available to be able to develop the best individualized plan of care of their patient and document skilled justification for treatment. Finally\, the course content will outline the current best practices and interventions available to healthcare professionals in managing falls and aid in the prevention of future falls.

SUMMARY:Maintenance Therapy - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:A landmark decision by a federal judge in January 2013 changed significantly a therapist’s ability to meet the needs of his/her patient – that decision was on the Jimmo v. Sebelius Case\, which allowed skilled therapists and nurses to bill for “maintenance” care. Maintenance therapy differs from rehabilitation and most therapists were instructed in school to avoid the term “maintenance.” The purpose of this course is to help all PT/OT staff gain a thorough knowledge of the laws that govern maintenance therapy\, and the ramifications to your clinical practice. Furthermore\, this course will address key documentation principles that you’ll want to follow to prove medical necessity of maintenance therapy. \nAfter attending this course\, you will be ready to know ifyour patient needs maintenance therapy and how to demonstrate that conclusively by reviewing key case studies provided be Medicare.

SUMMARY:A Vision-Based Approach to Torticollis - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Torticollis incidents continue to grow annually\, however\,treatments remain predominantly manual therapy based. Many infants with torticollis present without limitations in their active and/or passive neck motion leaving therapists questioning the best manual therapy approach to use. There are currently no studies on the impact of treating infants with torticollis with a vision-based approach. \nThis course will demonstrate how to assess infants with torticollis to determine the impact that their vision is playing on their head position. Participants will learn three different vision-based treatment approaches to use with torticollis patients for quick\, noticeable improvement in head position within one week of implementation.
