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.
