SUMMARY:Empowering Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Users - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:As speech-language pathologists\, we understand the complexity of communication and the importance of functional communication skills for any individual\, but more specifically\, for a child. Through the implementation of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)\, we can provide an immediate means of communication for children with speech/language delays and disorders. Unfortunately\, while a child may show great promise or progress in our speech sessions\, they may receive little to no carryover in their classrooms or other settings\, which can drastically impact their functionality and overall carryover of their skills.Research supports that the use of AAC in the classroom not only supports a student’s communication skills but also their academic and social skills. \nThis course is designed to provide therapists with the knowledge and skills necessary to support AAC users and increase the implementation and carryover of their device use in the classroom and school environments. Throughout this course you will learn how to provide individualized interventions and vocabulary sets\, aid in creating supportive communication environments\, and how to effectively integrate AAC into everyday activities and routines\, thus\, ensuring meaningful communication experiences for AAC users. The course emphasizes the importance of sustained carryover\, providing practical guidance on promoting consistent AAC usage across various contexts and with different communication partners. By the end of the course\, participants will demonstrate a deeper understanding of AAC principles and a toolkit of evidence-based strategies to empower AAC users\, educators\, and their communication partners. \nThe content of this program is germane to children\, students and clients 3-22 years old. \nHighlights\n\nAcquire actionable strategies for immediate implementation in classrooms that benefit students\, teachers\, support staff\, families\, and caregivers\nExamine practical insights applicable to speech-language pathology practice for empowering Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) users

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:Orthopedic Care Across Settings - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Providing comprehensive\, progressive care across the continuum of orthopedic settings presents unique challenges to clinicians in all settings\, including issues with poor patient compliance. A greater understanding of the treatment approaches\, patient education strategies\, goals\, and outcomes common to the orthopedic patient in each setting and how these outcomes can be carried across settings can improve your patient’s outcomes and expand your treatment toolbox as a clinician. It is no surprise to clinicians that poor compliance with physical therapy treatment negatively impacts patient outcomes following orthopedic intervention. Learn about factors related to why patients demonstrate poor compliance and patient education techniques to improve compliance and patient outcomes (Kattan et al.\, 2023). \nThis course will instruct therapists in the key components of orthopedic treatments in home healthcare\, SNF\, acute care\, inpatient\, and orthopedic outpatient care. Upon completion of this course\, clinicians will be able to plan effective orthopedic interventions in various settings and understand how the continuum of care changes from acute care through the completion of orthopedic outpatient therapy. Orthopedic treatment techniques relative to orthopedics will be presented so that clinicians have access to treatment techniques that can be implemented in the clinic tomorrow! \nHighlights\n\nPractical treatment recommendations for common treatment options for orthopedic injuries in acute care\, home health care\, inpatient rehab\, and outpatient physical therapy\nCase studies with problem-solving applications to improve clinical application abilities.

SUMMARY:#7381 Oral Habits- Targeting the Root Cause  - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:There are several types of prolonged oral habits which can be harmful to the individual’s mouth and overall health. Such oral habits can include thumb sucking\, tongue sucking\, prolonged pacifier use\, blanket sucking\, nail biting. \nSucking is a reflex that is present during utero and should integrate by 6 months of age. Therefore sucking habits should be eliminated by this age and sucking that persists after 6 months of age should not be considered developmentally appropriate. There are several possible root causes for prolonged sucking habits. It is vital to determine why the individual is engaging in a noxious oral habit and target that underlying root cause. There are several consequences of prolonged oral habits\, which have negative impacts on the individuals dentition\, palate\, airway\, speech\, and orofacial development. \nMyofunctional therapy can support the elimination of oral habits. Myofunctional therapy helps to strengthen the orofacial muscles\, correct/eliminate oral habits\, correct the function of the tongue and facial muscles at rest\, for swallowing\, and for speaking. There are also often potential referrals necessary to providers such as the ENT\, pediatric dentist\, orthodontist\, and oral surgeon. Course instruction method includes: lecture\, case studies\, videos\, question/answer session. \n  \nInstructor: Janine Stiene-Cline MA CCC-SLP TSHH and Toni-Ann Antoniato\, MS\, CCC-SLP\, CLC

SUMMARY:Dual-Task Intervention in Complex Neurological Conditions - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Dual tasking is the capacity to perform a second task simultaneously and is incorporated into many activities of daily living (ADLs). The ability to perform gait and balance tasks requires cognition tasks of attention\, processing speed\, and memory. The deficits in central sensory integration and cognitive-motor interference (CMI) can result in both impaired postural control and performance decrement to either the motor or cognitive task performed. It is believed that motor and cognitive impairments lead to a higher incidence of falls during ADLs in the neurologically impaired population5 as well as a decline in quality of life. Traditional strengthening and coordination exercises performed during therapy may not adequately prepare the person for these complex conditions to return to community living which is steep in tasks requiring dual tasking. Dual-task training has been proven to enhance neuroplasticity and balance in neurological diseases. This course will provide evidence- based practice guidelines for the use of dual-tasking as an intervention for patients living with neurological diseases or conditions. \nHighlights\n\nExamine complex neurological conditions that impact multiple areas of the central nervous system\, brain\, and spinal cord causing varied symptoms\nApplication of evidence-based practice guidelines for the use of dual tasking as an intervention to provide neuroplasticity and recovery for people living with neurological conditions

SUMMARY:Empowering Handwriting Proficiency - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:With the explosion of technology in the classroom\, it was predicted students participating in handwriting-based activities would become obsolete. However\, handwriting continues to be essential to a child’s ability to participate in their school/academic environment. More than half of the preschool Common Core standards address handwriting (Tortorelli et al. 2021). It is also concerning that even neuro- typical children have shown reduced motor proficiency (Benda et al. 2021). Based on the evidence\, the influence of environmental factors and societal differences in how children play can influence the development of the underlying components (cognitive\, sensory\, motor\, visual-motor\, and visual perceptual skills) needed to attain proficient handwriting. Clinicians who work with children in a variety of settings are equipped to support and facilitate handwriting development and confidence. This course will provide the latest evidence-based approaches and strategies to address handwriting. Additionally\, it will provide hands-on strategies to evaluate and develop interventions that can have a profound functional impact within their practice setting. \nThe content of this program is germane to children\, students and clients 5-11 years old. \nHighlights\n\nImpactful strategies to influence improved dexterity skills using approaches based on neuroplasticity\nEffective\, evidence-based interventions to address handwriting confidence and performance

SUMMARY:The Cerebellum and Development - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Scientific advancements in the knowledge of the many functions of the cerebellum has exploded over the last several years. This structure known as the “little brain” was once thought to control only motor functions. Researchers now know that the cerebellum is an important structure for a multitude of functions. These many functions include motor control\, coordination\, rhythmic movement\, executive function skills\, attention\, and modulation of sensory input. Cerebellar dysfunction has been found to be associated with ADHD\, autism\, Parkinson’s disease\, and other disorders.Using this new research\, therapists can facilitate activation of this very important brain structure through rhythm\, balance\,and coordination activities. As your understanding of the importance of this structure develops\, you will be able to incorporate these activities into your treatment sessions. \nHighlights\n\nRecognize the influence of the cerebellum on balance\, movement\, coordination\, executive function skills\, learning and social skills\nImprove your understanding of the influence of the cerebellum in various disorders including ADHD\, autism and Parkinson’s disease\nDevelop effective treatment strategies to promote activity within the cerebellum

SUMMARY:# 306 CAN-EAT Approach …Using medical\, motor\, & therapy strategies in pedia - 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:Pediatric Sleep-Disordered Breathing - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Pediatric sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is an often- overlooked cause of many functional and behavioral concerns in children and adolescents. Insufficient sleep and impaired sleep quality can interfere with speech and language development\, neurocognitive function\, craniofacial and upper airway growth\, as well as overall health and well- being. \nInsufficient sleep and impaired sleep quality can interfere with speech\, language\, neurocognitive function\, craniofacial and upper airway growth\, and development\, in addition to overall health and well-being. More than a quarter of all children may suffer from some form of SDB\, with up to 5% having the more severe subtype\, obstructive sleep apnea. Since speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are often involved early in the assessment and treatment of communication and swallowing difficulties in the pediatric population\, they are uniquely positioned to screen for sleep problems in these children and make timely referrals when appropriate. In this course\, clinicians will learn the signs and symptoms of SDB\, understand the deleterious consequences of SDB\, gain a deeper understanding of the importance of early intervention for SDB\, and be able to integrate routine SDB screenings into their assessment protocols\, incorporating evidence-based screening tools to aid in the early diagnosis and treatment of pediatric and adolescent SDB. \nThe content of this program is germane to children\, students and clients ages 4-18 years old. \nHighlights\n\nExamine the detrimental impact of sleep- disordered breathing for the individuals on your caseload\nPractical assessments to begin screening for sleep-disordered breathing using evidence-based questionnaires and functional airway screening tools

SUMMARY:Cognitive Assessment of Diverse Populations - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time\nOct 30\, 2024 10:30 AM in\n\n\nDescription\nProfessional organizations that train practitioners to serve children in schools have expressed a longstanding concern over ‘equitable’ and ‘nondiscriminatory’ cognitive assessment for examinees from diverse racial/ethnic/language groups. Although there is much that has been discovered to support best practices\, there are some assessment-related concepts that are poorly understood and ill-defined. In addition\, alternative assessment and/or test interpretation practices that may be popularly promoted but have serious problems/deficiencies that undermine ethical behavior/best practices. This course will review these issues in detail (as informed by relevant research) and promote future directions that align with ethical and best practices. • Your name will appear on your certificate of attendance exactly as provided in the form below. Please ensure the name submitted is accurate and free of errors. You must participate for the full 2 hours to receive your CE.

SUMMARY:Kinesiology Taping Application for Common Orthopedic and Musculoskeletal Conditions - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Kinesiology taping is a useful tool for treating andpreventing various common physical conditions and athletic injuries. It is widely used to provide targeted support to muscles and joints\, facilitating proper biomechanics and enhancing functional movement patterns. Taping can be a great addition to your current practice\, affecting the patient orathlete positively for several days of wear outside of the clinic. Kinesiology taping has been designed to mimic human skin; it can stretch 120-140% (the same elasticity as skin) of its normal resting length\, allowing more mobility than standard athletic taping. This course will include demonstrations to give the participant an understanding of the benefits of kinesiology taping that can be applied to any common orthopedic and musculoskeletal condition. Practitioners will be able to implement taping as a beneficial adjunct to their current practice to optimize joint alignment\, improve joint proprioception\, improve lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and facilitate or inhibit muscular function. After the practitioner understands the fundamentals of taping\, they can carry over these principles to tape any common musculoskeletal condition. \nHighlights\n\nIndications and clinical reasoning for applying kinesiology taping to improve your patients’ orthopedic condition\nPractical assessment and application strategies for addressing functional deficits\, most common orthopedic conditions you can use the next day\nDemonstration of practical taping for the spine\, shoulder\, elbow\, wrist\, hand\, hip\, knee and ankle

SUMMARY:#7326 Primitive Reflex Integration - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Primitive reflexes are assessed when a child is born to ensure they are present. Yet\, they are then often dismissed\, underestimating the role they play in the continued development and success of the child. However\, many children continue to have retained primitive reflexes which interfere with various aspects of their development. The term Primitive Reflex Integration is being used in a variety of fields with various approaches to treatment. These approaches often present the treatment of each primitive reflex as individual movement patterns separate from each other. This  course provides therapists with a roadmap to evaluating and treating 8-11 primitive reflexes\, with the understanding that they are linked and build upon each other. It utilizes a functional and play-based approach to allow physical and occupational therapists to integrate this new knowledge immediately into their practice. \n  \nInstructor: Janine Wiskind\, MS\, OTR/L

SUMMARY:#7459 Trigger Point Release Fast ‘n Easy: Easing Tension & Pain with User-Friend - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:People present with numerous painful\, tense areas of consistent muscle tension that limit their mobility and function.  Poor posture\, faulty habits\, traumas and strains to the neuromuscular system contributes to those reactive tight ropy bands of abnormal muscle contraction known as trigger points (TPs) TPs contribute to neck pain\, headaches\, back pain and activity limitation or functional disability.  Neurological inhibition or facilitation related to TPs is frequently correlated with mobility limitations\, strength deficits\, and pain.  The cause of TPs is often overlooked\, or simply not addressed\, as therapists try to compress them away\, only to find they return right after the session. Learn what defines a trigger point\, what it represents in the neuromotor system\, how to assess and document TPs\, and how to use a variety of techniques to manage them for more successful clinical outcomes (happy clients who become raving fans!). \nCourse instruction method includes: Lecture\, videos\, demonstration\, and question/answers. \n  \nInstructor: Theresa A.

SUMMARY:Pediatric Toe Walking - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The incidence of toe walking is 2% in neurotypical children\, and 41% in those with developmental delays. What was thought to be just a neuromuscular issue has now been found to be related to sensory processing disorders\, especially in children with autism. Understanding the difference is critical in choosing the correct path of treatment.Treating toe walking without knowing the underlying cause can result in delayed recovery\, expensive orthotics\, orunnecessary surgery. Clinicians who can identify the root cause and triggers for toe walking are better able to minimize this often painful and long-term condition. \nThis course will use evidence-based practice and effective teaching methods to give learners hands-on strategies to incorporate into their practice setting. Learners will be able to explain how sensory dysfunction can cause orexacerbate toe walking and create meaningful treatment plans to provide to their clients. \nHighlights\n\nDifferences between sensory and developmental toe walking\nEffective\, evidence-based treatment plans to provide functional improvement
