SUMMARY:Differential Diagnosis of Headaches Post Concussion - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Concussion is a common injury that is often poorly identified and poorly managed. It can occur with a variety of mechanisms and affects all ages. These injuries can recover on their own but often (10-30%) of individuals will have persistent symptoms. There are a variety of symptoms that can be present after a concussive injury and often headache is one of the most common. Research has shown that individualized treatment results in the best outcomes secondary to the multiple systems that are impacted after these injuries.1 A challenge to concussion management is that none of the symptoms that are often reported are unique to the injury itself. It is essential that clinicians who work with client’s post-concussion have a clear understanding of the variety of possible contributing factors to the symptom presentation so that they can create a targeted plan of intervention. This individualized plan and understanding will ensure optimal patient outcomes. \nThis course will highlight the variety of physiological impairments and systems that can contribute to headache presentation. We will review differential diagnosis as well as targeted interventions to achieve optimal outcomes and patient recovery. The course will present a variety of strategies as well as case studies to help support differential diagnosis strategy. There will also be objective measures including questionnaires\, assessments of the cervical spine\,vestibular/oculomotor systems\, and evaluation of the autonomic nervous system. Participants will be able to take these strategies and a targeted approach and be able to apply them the next day in the clinic. \nHighlights\n\nQuickly improve your clients’ outcomes and recovery by analyzing the potential causes of headache after a concussive event.\nObjective measures including questionnaires\, assessments of the cervical spine\, vestibular/oculomotor systems\, and evaluation of the autonomic nervous system.\nDifferential diagnosis as well as targeted interventions to achieve optimal functional outcomes and patient recovery.

SUMMARY:Differential Diagnosis of Dizziness after a Concussion - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Concussion is a common injury that is often poorly identified and poorly managed. It can occur with a variety of mechanisms and affects all ages. These injuries can recover on their own but often (10-30%) of individuals will have persistent symptoms. There are a variety of symptoms that can be present after a concussive injury and often dizziness is one of the most common. There is also research that states that dizziness at the time of injury will have an impact on overall recovery timeline. Research has shown that individualized treatment results in the best outcomes secondary to the multiple systems that are impacted after these injuries. A challenge to concussion management is that none of the symptoms that are often reported are unique to the injury itself. It is essential that clinicians who work with client’s post-concussion have a clear understanding of the variety of possible contributing factors to the symptom presentation so that they can create a targeted plan of intervention. This individualized plan and understanding will ensure optimal patient outcomes. \nThis course will highlight the variety of impairments and systems that can contribute to dizziness presentation. We will review differential diagnosis as well as targeted interventions to achieve optimal outcomes and patient recovery. The course will present a variety of strategies as well as case studies to help support differential diagnosis strategy. There will also be objective measures including questionnaires\, assessments of the cervical spine\, vestibular/oculomotor systems and evaluation of the autonomic nervous system.The learner will be able to take these strategies and targeted approach and be able to apply them the next day in the clinic. \nHighlights\n\nPractical assessment and re-assessment strategies as well as interventions for functional deficits\, underlying conditions\, and co- morbidities\nImprove your client’s outcomes and recovery by identifying the potential causes of dizziness after a concussive event\nBest practices to target the appropriate intervention for most successful outcome

SUMMARY:# 306 CAN-EAT Approach …Using medical\, motor\, & therapy strategies in pediatric feeding - 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:#7314 Interventions for Patients with Brachial Plexus Injury - Live Interactive Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This two-hour webinar will focus on therapeutic techniques used to facilitate improved alignment and muscle re-education for function for patients diagnosed with obstetrical brachial plexus injury (OBPI). Infants with OBPI are immediately identified at birth. The injuries most commonly occur as a result of a difficult birth. A thorough evaluation of the infant\, child\, or adolescent is critical to assess specific areas of weakness\, abnormal movement patterns\, and alignment of the whole body throughout the developmental lifespan. \nThe occupational and physical therapists need an understanding of muscle function and development that occurs as the infant continues to mature and develop. The OT/PT will learn evaluation and intervention strategies for each stage of recovery throughout infancy\, childhood\, and teen years. The participants will be presented with a detailed overview of the anatomy of the initial nerve injury and the muscular and bony sequelae that often results in lifelong neuromuscular and orthopedic challenges. Developmental biomechanics in relation to treatment will be reviewed. Treatment interventions used for infant/child/adolescent may include: Kinesio tape®\, Fabrifoam wraps\, casting\, orthotics\, and compression orthotics. (Intermediate) \n  \n  \nInstructor: Patricia (Trish) Martin\, PT\, Certified Kinesio Taping Instructor and Audrey Yasukawa\, MOT\, Certified Kinesio Taping Instructor

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? \nI discovered this was a simple question with a complex answer. 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 2018. 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!

SUMMARY:Therapeutic Examination and Diagnostic Testing for Patients with Neurological Conditions - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:It has been estimated that one in six individuals have a neurological condition (PAHO\, 2021). Neurological conditions are among the most complex diagnoses seen by practitioners. Conditions involving the neurological system can affect behavior\, cognition\, memory\, movement\, pain\, and sensory systems. Many neurological diagnoses affect more than one of these areas; therefore\, making therapeutic recovery even more challenging. This course will cover the many medical diagnostic tests and therapy-related examinations used to make an accurate diagnosis by physicians and to guide our therapeutic interventions for safe and effective results. \nHighlights\n\nAcquire a deeper understanding of commonly utilized examinations and tests used with the neurologically involved population to determine levels of physical and cognitive abilities\nStrategies for creating a plan of care for theneurologically involved population for improved safety and outcomes\nIncrease knowledge of medical diagnostic testing for alumbar puncture\, computed tomography\, magnetic resonance imaging\, ultrasonography\, electroencephalogram\, and nerve conduction studies
