SUMMARY:Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Tapping: Evidence-Based\, Mind-Body Treatment Approach to the Anxiety Spectrum Disorders - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:What do you do with anxiety and trauma clients who do not improve? \nThe 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 seminar 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:Cognitive Development for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) encourages the use of evidence-based practice in clinical decision-making; however\, recent surveys show that most clinicians report they do not have the time to researchtopics. Autism research has doubled over the past decade and with advances in neuroimaging\, we now know which neurological differences can predict future language development. Participants who attend this course will have the opportunity to evaluate research from multiple disciplines and develop an understanding of how neurodivergent brains process input differently during sensitive periods in language development. \nHighlights\n\nExamine how neurodivergent brains process input differently during sensitive periods in language development\nRecognize how key mechanisms that lead tolanguage development in typically developing infants do not necessarily lead to the same outcomes for autistic infants\nDebunk neuromyths that may be impacting your sessions and extract neuro facts within these myths

SUMMARY:“Break Through” Self-Regulation Interventions for Children and Adolescents with Autism\, ADHD\, Sensory or Emotional Challenges - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Message from Your Presenter … \nNo one ever said that working with children with autism\, ADHD or sensory disorders is easy. Theo will only eat white foods\, tends to be buried in his own world and melts when he is transitioned too quickly. Steven\, in 6th grade\, has ADHD\, poor organization skills and an attitude that is hard to break through. But\, how do we help a child break through the self-regulation issues that limit their achievements? \nThat was the question I posed to myself twelve years ago. I set out to learn as much as I could about theories\, techniques\, and research that could help make the lives of these young people much more manageable and promising. I took intensive courses on multi-sensory approaches\, sensory integration\, self-regulation\, yoga\, autism\, ADHD and became a Certified Autism Specialist in 2016. I have extensive experience adapting these techniques to make them usable in a variety of settings while working closely with teachers\, aides\, child study professionals and parents. \nJoin me as I guide you through a broad set of self-regulation interventions culled from my years of research and practice along with strategies for adapting them to your setting. You will leave my program with the essential skills\, interventions and strategies to help children find harmony with themselves\, their families and the world around them! \nYou will learn: \n\nThe most effective calming\, sensory\, motor or behavioral techniques for a given type of behavior\nPeer-to-peer video feedback as a social intervention for children and teens with ASD\nSleep interventions for children with erratic sleep schedules\nInterventions for Repetitive and Restrictive Behaviors for a child with stereotypy\nOrganization strategies for home and school for teenagers with ADHD\nAnd more!\n\nI look forward to seeing you there! Register today!

SUMMARY:Supporting Self-Regulation Development in Young Children - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Childhood development is a dynamic process that starts in-utero with neurological connections influenced by internal and external factors to support growth. Self-regulation skills are a cornerstone of development that help children succeed when they have a sense of control and confidence through predictable routines and communicated expectations. Co- regulation involves a complex process of observing subtle cues in children\, understanding a child’s body language and responding to the child’s needs in a prompt and consistent manner with intentional and focused interactions. The early years are a critical period where the brain has the ability to change\, relearn and strengthen important connections when a child is engaged in rich experiences and interactions. Strategies will be covered to provide children with the building blocks they need for a strong foundation of self- regulation skills and executive function to foster independence\, ability to cope and good decision-making skills. Self-regulation skills are imperative for development of emotional intelligence\, academic achievement\, positive social relationships and life-long transitions. \nThis course will review how to integrate evidence-based strategies into daily activities to encourage positive interactions in a variety of environments based on child’s unique needs. As providers\, we need to respect family priorities with goal development and plan of care\, with attention to cultural sensitivity and the impact of adverse childhood experiences. Coaching strategies will be reviewed to help empower families to support self-regulation skills throughout the early years. \nHighlights\n\nStrategies to support child development sequences through natural learning opportunities\nProviding children with a sense of security and belonging through daily interactions and meaningful experiences to promote trust and self-confidence\nEncouraging consistency with daily routines to best support child success – allowing flexibility as needed with individualized treatment planning with family identified priorities\nEvidence-based coaching strategies and reflective practice to empower families and caregivers in a variety of environments

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

SUMMARY:Effective Early Intervention - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)\, the prevalence of children with developmental disability has increased by 17% and approximately 1 in 6 children in the United States are diagnosed with a developmental delays. As therapists\, we know it is imperative to provide effective\, hands-on strategies to children as early as possible in their natural environment. We also realize that environmental constraints such as the back to sleep program and the decreased tendency for floor time (container syndrome) is further increasing the likelihood of developmental delay. It is crucial to fully understand typical development and provide age-appropriate interventions and strategies for a child to maximize his/her functional potential. \nThis hands-on\, interactive course will provide an in-depth look into the early intervention environment. We will review typical development and common diagnoses clinicians are likely to encounter. Through hands-on practice\, this course will allow therapists to use play and exercises to perfect skills to improve tummy time\, sitting balance and protective reactions\, functional grasp\, facilitation of creeping\, and gait strategies. Through videos and class discussions\, therapists will learn strategies for difficult to treat conditions such as toe-walking and the late walker. Following this course\, the therapist will be more confident and comfortable treating a child with developmental delay and provide effective strategies to caregivers to maximize a child’s overall development. \nHighlights\n\nSkills to improve tummy time\, sitting balance\, protective reactions\, functional grasp\, facilitation of creeping\, and gait strategies to get your clients to achieve each developmental milestone\nStrategies for difficult-to-treat conditions such as toe- walking and late walking\nStrategies for fine motor development\, self-help\, and social-emotional development\nReview typical vs atypical development to spot red flags\nInteractive hands-on labs\, case examples\, videos\, and class discussion\nSolutions to improve your ability to bond with your early intervention clients and their families\nPractical\, functional outcomes and effective home programs that are easy for families to follow

SUMMARY:Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Tapping: Evidence-Based\, Mind-Body Treatment Approach to the Anxiety Spectrum Disorders - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:What do you do with anxiety and trauma clients who do not improve? \nThe 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 seminar 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:Self-Regulation Interventions for Children & Adolescents: Reduce Frustration\, Emotional Outbursts & Oppositional Behaviors - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will help you to better intervene with the challenging child—the one who won’t sit still; doesn’t follow directions; often throws tantrums; or has difficulty waiting for their turn. They may “hit first and ask questions later”. They react impulsively and have difficulty expressing what they need or what is frustrating them. We know this child is intelligent\, caring and kind\, but their behavior doesn’t reflect these positive qualities. These are the children who confuse and frustrate parents and who overwhelm teachers and peers. They struggle to meet basic expectations and are unable to succeed in school\, with peers and at home. \nJoin clinical psychologist Dr. Ehlert and learn to effectively intervene with the emotional and behavioral dysregulation of children with High-Functioning Autism\, ADHD\, Learning Disabilities and Sensory Processing Disorders. Through hands-on activities and dynamic discussion\, you will learn techniques\, behavioral strategies\, problem-solving strategies and brain training exercises to: \n\nAddress the sensory\, language and executive functioning processing deficits that trigger them\nIncrease their self-control\, social success\, emotional control and task completion\nTeach flexibility\, tolerance\, thinking it through and decision-making\nReduce the frequency and duration of their tantrums and emotional outbursts\n\nWalk away with proven emotional\, behavioral and processing strategies that lead to social and academic success!

SUMMARY:Integration of Persistent Reflexes - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Reflexes play an important role in a child’s ability to establish effective motor patterns and integrate sensory information. In one study\, 60% of neuro-typical children were found to have a persistent reflex (Gieysztor\, Choinska\, and Paprocka-Borowicz\, 2018). The prevalence of non-integrated reflexes can have longstanding effects on a child’s ability to learn and develop appropriate motor responses. \nThis course will provide a more distinct way to evaluate reflexes and provide evidence supported therapeutic activities to address persistent reflexes. With such systematic attention on effectively assessing the existence of reflexes\, clinicians will be better equipped to establish documentation to support their practice. Through the review and application of such reflex assessment strategies and therapeutic activities\, clinicians will be more equipped to address reflexes that are often associated with children with ADHD\, learning disabilities\, or sensory processing disorders. \nHighlights\n\nImmediately address persistent reflexes and how they influence development\nObservation-based reflex assessment strategies and solutions to address reflex integration\nPractical assessment and re-assessment strategies for underlying reflexes\nEffective\, evidence-based interventions for integration of reflexes\nIntegrate into PT/OT/SLP practice through case examples
