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.

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:School-Age Speech and Language Milestones - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:As speech-language pathologists\, we’re experts when it comes to speech\, language\, and communication milestones. So\, it stands to reason that we can more easily notice aspects of atypical development as related to a child’s communication skills. In most school-based settings\, speech-language pathologists rely on teachers\, special educators\, physical therapists\, occupational therapists\, psychologists\,etc. to refer and monitor children who exhibit a suspected communication delay or disorder. Each child develops uniquely and may reach certain milestones earlier or later than others\, and a child may not reach each milestone until the end of a given age range. \nThe developmental milestones and “red flags” examined in this course will help you to familiarize other professionals with what they can expect from children in terms of typical development of various communication skills. As a result\, this will aid other professionals in knowing when to seek a screening and/or speech-language pathology services. These developmental milestones are not a screening or diagnostic tool. They are meant to be used to provide information to other professionals in seeking speech- language services or making an appropriate referral. Strategies for sharing this information with other school-based professionals will be discussed. In addition\, when and whereto refer a student following a speech-language screening will also be presented. \nThe content of this program is germane to children\, students and clients ages 5-18 years old. \nHighlights\n\nImprove your knowledge of different types of speech- language deficits that present in the school-age population\nScreening and referral strategies to communicate with other school-age professionals\nExpand expectations of school-age children in terms of development of various communication skills

SUMMARY:Hand Therapy - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Hand therapy is an incredibly personal and complex area for rehabilitation professionals and patients alike. Hamasaki et al. (2018) highlight this complexity in their study emphasizing the interdependence of both motor and sensory aspects of functioning to impact pain reports for hand therapy patients. Having effective plans of care means developing comfort as a therapist to assess\, thoroughly\, a patient’s pain and choose the best courses of intervention to achieve his or her goals. \nThis course will assist therapists in developing their skills in testing differential diagnosis and developing an understanding of pathology leading to dysfunction. This course will be a good foundation course for new hand therapists and a refresher for those looking to review needed information. Additionally\, each therapist will leave with testing and treatment recourses which they can apply in the clinic the next day. Physical and psychological factors related to rehabilitation will be considered during this course. Attendees will be able to identify tests needed for a number of differential diagnoses to enhance patient care and their knowledge as it relates to hand therapy preparation. Nerve entrapment in addition to physical dysfunction will be addressed as often these two components are appearing hand in hand for our upper quadrant clients. Participants will be able to select appropriate functional evaluations to bridge physical dysfunctional and psychological impact to develop more effective plans of care and treatment approaches. \nHighlights\n\nImmediately identify testing strategies to be effective in differential diagnosis of the hand/wrist and upper extremity\nImprove your knowledge of upper quadrant anatomy and physiology to create better evaluations and more effective treatments

SUMMARY:#7375 The Sensorimotor Foundations for Arousal and Affect Regulation: A Multifaceted Approach - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join Sheila Frick and Tracy Bjorling as they introduce the neurobiological underpinnings for affect and arousal regulation from a sensory integrative and relational perspective. As therapists\, we often encounter individuals who are unable to effectively modulate and integrate sensation for the purpose of achieving\, maintaining\, and shifting arousal and affective states within a range that best supports daily function and participation. \nParticipants will learn therapeutic guidelines and a variety of sound\, relational\, movement\, and other sensory motor based strategies necessary for designing effective intervention strategies that can be incorporated into daily routines. These strategies can be applied individually to support clients to achieve\, maintain\, and broaden their optimal range of arousal and affect.  Activity recommendations are appropriate for a variety of ages and environments\, including in-clinic\, home\, and schools. \n  \n  \nInstructor: Sheila M.

SUMMARY:Assessment and Treatment of Sport-Related Concussion - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Too often\, a patient is seen after sustaining a concussion and given little to no guidance regarding how to effectively and safely return to school and sport without excessive symptom provocation. These patients frequently show symptoms well beyond the typical timeline\, as they have missed out on proper rehabilitation opportunities and potentially have developed secondary signs and symptoms related to prolonged removal from school and sport\, such as psychosocial dysfunction and deconditioning. Rehabilitative clinicians now are involved with care of these patients from diagnosis to full recovery. \nThis course will briefly address the multi-system involvement\, not limited to oculomotor\, vestibular\, orthopaedic and cardiovascular\, in the assessment and rehabilitation of the concussed athlete. The complexity of how each of these systems contributes to impairments and functional limitations will be reviewed. The most up to date research on evidence-based assessment tools will be presented as well as best practice tools for rehabilitation. This course will arm the clinician with tips to minimize symptoms in each domain to allow the student to return to school related activities earlier and minimize days lost from school. Additionally\, the clinician will examine the importance of instructing a step-wise progression of exercises from each individual system involved\, to functional progressions of exercises\, to eventual sport specific and non-contact sport related skills. After completion of this course\, the rehabilitative clinician will be an integral part of the medical management team for those who have sustained a concussion/TBI. \nHighlights\n\nImprove your ability to identify red and yellow flags of concussion and when an athlete should be immediately removed from play.\nIdentify various system contributions to symptoms that may limit participation in sport-related activities or ultimately hinder return to play\nLearn evidence-based exercise prescriptions and evidence-informed return to sport protocols that are safe\, effective\, and efficient at returning the athlete safely back to sport.

SUMMARY:Clinical Documentation in Occupational\, Physical\, and Speech Rehabilitation - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Clinicians and assistants did not go to therapy school to learn to write notes. Unfortunately\, clinical documentation is an essential part of every OT\, PT\, or SLP visit. Anecdotal evidence and observation suggest that many therapists are documenting how they learned in school\, whether that was 1 or 20 years ago. This course explores the current requirements of traditional restorative therapy and contrasts with the little-understood necessities of maintenance therapy. Clinicians will explore the art and science of compliant clinical documentation in the therapy world. \nHighlights\n\nImmediately improve your clinical documentation for traditional restorative patients\nDifferences between restorative and maintenance therapy patients and how to determine which is necessary

SUMMARY:#7306 Pediatric Brain Part 1: Neurobiology of the Sensory-Motor Systems and their Application to Treatment - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This course will teach clinicians about the neurobiology of the different regions of the brain and how the function/dysfunction within each region applies to the evaluation of\, and creative treatment planning for your pediatric client. Therapists will learn the role neurotransmitters play in regulation\, attention\, play\, and function. They will receive a thorough review of the developing brain in utero\, and the function of the sub-cortical (brain stem\, cerebellum\, basal ganglia\, and thalamus) and cortical (cerebral cortex including insula) areas of the brain. Treatment activities are discussed to strengthen the individual regions within the brain and support a whole-brain connection to the body for improved body awareness and sensory-motor development. Many ideas for play-based activities are provided to add to the therapist’s toolbox. When we understand how the brain works\, we can determine why behaviors and deficits exist\, and ultimately create endless treatment activities to support our pediatric client. \n  \nThis course has been modified from the original 14-hour Pediatric Brain Course taught for the past 15 years. It can be viewed individually and will also work well as a series with Parts 2 and 3\, as well as in conjunction with the Primitive Reflex Integration Course.  Course instruction methods include lecture\, demonstration\, videos\, case studies and question/answers.
