SUMMARY:Traumatic Brain Injury - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an injury that can occur from a bump or blow to the head\, or when an object goes through the skull and enters the brain. Because the brain controls all that you do\, a TBI can cause many problems that can affect several aspects of day-to-day life. Much will depend on the severity of the injury and what part of the brain was injured. Regardless of the type and severity of the TBI\,damage to the brain occurs immediately at the time of injury. Later\, a person who has suffered a TBI may develop seizures or brain swelling. \nA TBI may cause one or more of the following problems. These problems can affect how a person functions in school\, at work\, and during everyday activities. The following will be addressed in regard to causes\, symptoms\, assessment\, and treatment: \n\nPhysical problems – fainting\, seizures\, headaches\, dizziness and vomiting\, problems with balance\, and muscle weakness.\nSensory problems – sensitivity to light\, sound\, and touch; hearing loss or ringing in the ears; changes in vision or double vision.\nBehavior changes – being more emotional or feeling anxious or angry; feeling depressed or experiencing mood swings.\nProblems with thinking skills – difficulty paying attention\, recalling information\, and learning new information; difficulty planning\, setting goals\, and problem- solving.\nSpeech and language problems – problems being understood because of weak speech muscles (dysarthria) or problems controlling speech muscles (apraxia); problems understanding what others say or what you read; problems finding the words to say.\nSocial communication issues – difficulty following conversational rules\, like taking turns and not interrupting; difficulty understanding nonverbal cues\, like when someone rolls their eyes.\nSwallowing problems – trouble chewing or coughing and choking when eating or drinking.\n\nHighlights\n\nDescribe the causes and symptoms of a traumatic brain injury and how these can affect aspects of diagnosis and treatment within your specific discipline\nApply knowledge of diagnostic and therapeutic options when designing functional treatment plans for patients with a traumatic brain injury

SUMMARY:Pediatric Motor Planning - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Smooth and coordinated motor skills are not only a product of strong motor planning but also of sensory integration to elicit a coordinated motor response (Martel\, et al.\, 2022). Motor planning deficits can be lifelong\, and it is common for children with other diagnoses to have delays in motor skills. Motor planning delays can present in a variety of patterns from general discoordination or specific motor deficits such as gross\, oral\, or fine motor delays. Children with ADHD\, autism\, learning disabilities\, dyslexia\, or an intellectual disability often struggle with motor planning and coordination delays. Research conducted by Miller and colleagues in 2022 looked at the differences in body schema and motor learning abilities and found that children with developmental coordination disorders improved their motor control and coordination with the practice of motor skills. Learning about evidence-based research treatments and the best practices when it comes to children with motor planning disorders is essential to being the best pediatric practitioner you can be. This course uses evidence\, videos\, and case studies to learn the best practices when working with children with motor planning delays. \nHighlights\n\nReview the most up-to-date motor planning treatment strategies you can use right away\nImmediately reduce the negative effects of motor planning deficits for your clients and solidify your learning through videos and case examples which demonstrate effect on outcomes

SUMMARY:#7362 Pediatric Balance - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Few clinicians would argue that balance plays a big role in function\, but many do not realize it is a key determinant for both gross and fine motor function.  In fact\, it is more strongly correlated with motor function and self care than range of motion or strength.  This means that improving a patient’s balance has a strong chance of improving a patient’s motor function! \n  \nWhat is balance?  This is a challenging question to answer and participants who attend this course will be able to answer this question with confidence and apply the principles of balance to their treatments for immediate results with their patients. (Intermediate Level) \n  \nInstructor: Charter Rushing PT\, ScD\, COMT

SUMMARY:School-Based Documentation - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Documentation is the number one complaint of therapists. there is too much\, and too little time. There are Medicaid standards that must be followed to be reimbursed for treatment. With caseloads skyrocketing to over 100 students\, documentation can be overwhelming. Becoming more effective and efficient in your documentation while meeting the required standards is difficult. This course will use evidence-based practice and effective teaching methods to give learners hands-on strategies to incorporate into their practice setting. Participants will be able to recognize andexplain the Medicaid and clinical standards for documentation. Participants will also be able to document correctly and precisely with the charts\, shortcuts\, and hints provided. While this course is aimed at school-based therapists\, much of the information provided also applies tooutpatient providers. \nHighlights\n\nReview Medicaid and clinical standards for documentation\nAccurate and efficient documentation\, clinical observation\, data gathering\, templates\, and rationale

SUMMARY:#7114 Treating the Shoulder Pain Free - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:One of the most important functional movements of the shoulder is active elevation. Restoring elevation in a time-efficient manner remains a challenging problem. The rehabilitation specialist needs to be a detective and figure out why a joint is not moving and/or what is causing the pain. Shoulder elevation is one of the most complicated movements in the body.  The treatment of a stiff and painful should not reproduce the pain that the patient has come to physical therapy to get ride of. f we analysis the shoulder motions it is made up of moving parts all responsible for the functional movement patterns that the joint allows. There are three major moving parts of the shoulder\, the scapula\, humerus\, and the clavicle\, making up three moving joints. The glenohumeral (G-H) and the acromio-clavicular (AC) are synovial joints\, where as the scapula-thoracic (ST) is a sesamoid bone floating around the ribs.  We believe that restoring rotation of the glenohumeral joint\, acromio-clavicular and scapula thoracic articulation before elevation is the safest and most efficient methods of treating patients with stiff and painful shoulders. Forcing a shoulder joint that is painful and stiff into elevation is dangerous. \n  \nInstructor:Robert Donatelli\, Ph.D\, PT

SUMMARY:Neuro-Developmental Therapy (NDT) to Optimize Functional Outcomes - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Treating children with any level of disability can present multiple challenges. There can be underlying issues that arenot immediately obvious. An in-depth evaluation is required to uncover what might be interfering with function. This course will present how to use the ICF (International Classification of Function) and the use of a systems approach to analyze the challenges a child presents. We will explore the basic principles of the Neuro development Treatment (NDT) practice model and the importance of hands-on treatment to make changes for improved function. \nWe will discuss the importance of strength and endurance in relation to increasing function. Therapists will become comfortable using a systems approach to explore multiple systems that could be interfering with function\, with a goal of understanding achievable goals for children of all levels of function. \nThe content of this program is germane to children\, students and clients ages birth-21 years old. \nHighlights\n\nExamine the benefits of using the Neuro- Developmental Treatment Practice Model to treat a child with neurologic impairments and other pediatric disorders across the lifespan\nFacilitation strategies for improved movement patterns and how to look at all aspects of the child to assess the primary areas influencing function\nUse of the Goal Attainment Scale to develop measurable baselines that enhance outcomes

SUMMARY:# 325 The Pediatric Brain: Applying Neurobiology to Functional Treatment. Live Interactive Web Conference
DESCRIPTION:This course will provide rehabilitation therapists with a deeper understanding of the complex multi-system involvement of the brain in reflex integration\, movement\, learning\, and daily functioning. The instructor will use innovative and multi-sensory approaches to help participants relate the information to their everyday practice. The first day of the course will focus on the functional aspects of neuroanatomy. \n  \nThe second day will focus on the interaction between the vestibular-visual systems. The visual system is often overlooked by both  therapists and the instructor strives to provide therapists with a new perspective to demonstrate the importance of incorporating visual dysfunction within their vestibular treatment. The visual system has an enormous impact on the precise functioning of the vestibular system and dysfunction can result in poor performance across all areas of a child’s function. Participants will review real life cases through video to enhance understanding of the material. This course has application for Speech Therapy practice by providing a better understanding of cognitive development for applying treatment concepts. \n  \nAt the end of this two-day course\, therapists will have a proficient functional knowledge of neuroanatomy and the visual-vestibular systems in the dysfunctional pediatric population\, and immediately utilize this knowledge to augment their current practice. \n  \nIncludes activities to allow for reflex integration\, and visual-vestibular play in a teletherapy model.

SUMMARY:Ocular Motor Skills and Their Effect on Learning: Challenges\, Testing and Remediation - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:6/25/2024 7:00 pm ET\n\n\nContact Hours\n3 Hours\n\n$69\n\n\nCourse Description\nHave you ever noticed that when a student has challenges with an activity like reading they start using their finger?  Why?  When we use our finger to help us read\, we are switching from saccadic movement (where as when we read we jump from one group of words to another group of words)\, to a fixation and pursuit (which is a smooth movement) which is not how we read.  What you are seeing is a symptom of an ocular motor problem.  Occupational therapists\, physical therapists and teachers need to be aware of these subtle changes that happen with our ocular motor skills throughout our activities in school.  Ocular motor skills have major effects on our children and our clients.  They affect reading\, writing\, functional movement\, and even crossing the midline.  This class is designed for professionals to recognize the importance of ocular motor skills and how they affect a child’s success.    This class educates a professional on the visual system\, motor system and their interaction.  It gives information on problems that present with ocular motility issues.  Finally\, it gives well established testing methods and real-world solutions to ocular motor challenges seen in our schools and home. \nCourse Objectives\nAt the end of this course\, the participant will be able to: \n\nExplain the visual and motor system and their interaction with ocular motility.\nIdentify challenges commonly linked to ocular motor problems seen in and with our students and clients.\nEvaluate and assess ocular motor challenges that affect reading\, writing and gross motor activities.\nImplement well researched treatment plans and strategies to remediate challenges seen with our ocular motor skills in our classrooms\, clinics and homes.\nSummarize how to accommodate for common secondary issues associated with ocular motor challenges.
