SUMMARY:#7479 BREATHE YOUR WAY TO BETTER BONE (and ALL) HEALTH THE MEEKS METHOD®- Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:#7479 BREATHE YOUR WAY TO BETTER BONE (and ALL) HEALTH \nTHE MEEKS METHOD® \n  \nWith a focus on the Breath in Optimal Body Alignment\, this highly experiential webinar will be centered on how we can breathe in many ways for better bone and overall health. This webinar will introduce you to the concepts that your bones also breathe and the importance of breathing during exercise. You will learn and practice safe\, therapeutic\, and functional breathing movement and exercises that you can use in professional and personal lives the very next day. \nTo ensure good breathing technique\, Sara will demonstrate several breathing exercises via embedded videos. Beginning with Noticing the Breath to Breathing in Athletics and ancient Yogic Breaths\, these concepts can take you and your clients further into functional movement than they or you might have thought possible. Focusing on optimal body alignment will provide more room for the internal organs (especially the lungs and heart). \n  \nThe innovative\, comprehensive\, evidence-based\, 12-point approach of The Meeks Method® has been shown to be safe and effective for many musculoskeletal and spinal conditions. Participants will be able to question Sara Meeks during the presentation and\, in addition\, will have available complimentary handouts of The Re-Alignment Routine and a full-color PDF copy of the PowerPoint presentation. \n  \nInstructor: SARA M. MEEKS\, PT\, MS\, G.C.S\, K.Y.T

SUMMARY:Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Tapping: Evidence-Based\, Mind-Body Treatment Approach to the Anxiety Spectrum Disorders - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:What do you do with anxiety and trauma clients who do not improve? \nThe anxiety spectrum exemplifies the disorders where emotions override thought. Fragmented memories get stored in the body. The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) collapse this uncomfortable emotional and physical reactivity\, freeing a path for spontaneous insights and clearer thinking. \nEmotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a comprehensive mind-body treatment that desensitizes three areas: unwanted thoughts\, emotions\, and physical reactions. EFT combines physical interventions derived from restorative (self-applied) acupressure theory with cognitive interventions. \nEFT is an evidence-based practice with over 100 published studies. One published study demonstrated a 24% decrease in cortisol (stress hormone) level in the EFT group (Energypsych.org). EFT is an effective brief therapy and belongs in every therapist’s tool box. \nTransform your clinical excellence. Bring EFT into your practice and treat resistant problems that other methods failed. \nThis seminar focuses on cutting-edge techniques of EFT to treat the anxiety spectrum disorders\, including: \n\nPhobias\nGeneralized Anxiety\nSocial Anxiety Disorder\nPanic\nOCD\nAcute Traumatic Stress Reactions\n\nThese mind-body methods are emerging into mainstream mental health\, trauma treatment\, coaching\, employee assistance programs\, and sport psychology arenas as a rapid\, effective\, non-invasive\, calming\, desensitizing tool. Do not miss this opportunity to learn evidence-based techniques you can use immediately with your clients and improve treatment outcomes.

SUMMARY:# 306 CAN-EAT Approach …Using medical\, motor\, & therapy strategies in pediatric feeding - 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: KRISTEN BRACKETT\, MS\, SLP/CCC

SUMMARY:Identifying the Root of Challenging Behaviors - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Many of our children are inundated with rules and expectations that change throughout their day at home\, school and other settings. It can be challenging for children to process and navigate these changing situations and can often result in challenging behaviors. As providers\, it is our role to work with families and teams to identify the “why” behind the behavior. It is important for families and team members to use a collaborative approach to identify supportive strategies\, promote independence with daily tasksand encourage positive social interactions. This proactive methodology takes time\, effort and energy before everyday activities to promote child success. Facilitated opportunities for self reflection allow for increased emotional awareness and improved self-regulation skills for children to be able to use appropriate strategies within a variety of environments more independently. \nHighlights\n\nClearly identifying the behavior and the function of behavior through a systematic framework in a collaborative manner\nCreating developmentally appropriate strategies with individualized modifications and accommodations\nReflective practices with collaboration to support children and help to generalize evidence-based strategies in daily routines and interactions

SUMMARY:Athletic Foot and Ankle Injuries - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Foot/ankle injuries are some of the most encountered injuries in the athlete. When these injuries are not managed\, there is diminished training time\, increased time away from competitive sport\, increased risk for re-injury\, decreased quality of life\, and long-term negative outcomes to the health of the athlete. This course will address foot/ankle injuries that may be uniquely seen in athletes to improve the clinician’s understanding of these pathologies. The content will focus on the most current evidence for the management of these injuries along with evidence based manual therapy\, neuromuscular retraining\, and therapeutic exercise interventions. Along with the presentation of the current research\, we will cover slides with detail on specific manual therapy techniques\, verbal and visual cues for balance training\, and ideas for collaboration with other members of the sports medicine team. This knowledge will improve the clinician’s ability to effectively treat this commonly injured body region. \nHighlights\n\nImmediately improve your knowledge of foot/ankle injuries specifically encountered in the athlete\nEvidence-based interventions to improve mobility\, neuromuscular control\, and strength in the foot/ankle

SUMMARY:School-Based Documentation for Speech-Language Pathologists - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a written statement of the educational program designed to meet a child’s individual needs. The purpose of an IEP is to set reasonable learning goals for the child\, and to state the services that the school will provide. Every child who receives special education services and/or related services must have an IEP. To create an effective IEP\, teachers\, parents\, school administrators\, special educators\, and related services providers must work as a team to improve the education of children with disabilities. \nEven though various systems exist for writing IEPs and related documentation\, each child’s IEP must contain specific information\, in accordance with Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This information includes: the child’s present levels of academic and functional performance\, annual goals\, how progress will be measured\, services that will be provided\, supplementary aids and services\, assessment accommodations\, and information about the child’s least-restrictive environment for receiving these services. The process of developing and implementing this important document is of vital importance to educators\, related services providers\, administrators\, and families. \nThis course is designed to help speech-language pathologists navigate the process of developing an IEP. The information presented is based on what is required by our nation’s special education law-the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). IDEA requires that specific information be included in every child’s IEP; however\, state\, and local school systems often include additional information in IEPs to best document that they have met certain criteria related to federal and/or state law. States and school systems have flexibility when designing their IEP forms\, so it is common that documentation will look very different between states and school systems. \nHighlights\n\nImprove your knowledge of Individualized Education Program (IEP)\, 504\, and Service Plan documentation requirements\nReview the documentation and meeting process from screening/assessment to IEP development\nExamine the expectations for a case manager/service coordinator throughout the IEPprocess

SUMMARY:Executive Function: Identification\, Evaluation\, and Treatment for Pediatric Clients - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The Handbook of Clinical Neurology defines executive function as a high-level cognitive process that enables people to complete complex cognitive processes. Executive function includes three core cognitive processes: namely working memory\, inhibition and flexibility\, and it has a regulating effect on people’s behavior with a mediating role in sensory processing and behavioral performance. Many pediatric diagnoses include predominant symptomology of executive functioning disorders. However\, the executive function of children is pliable and malleable. As therapists\, we should know which evaluations are available\, and which evidence-based treatments can be used for improved executive functioning as needed for age-appropriate activity engagement. \nThis course will present proven evaluation tools and treatment strategies to address executive functioning delays. Understanding the evidence pertaining to executive functioning in children and adolescents will improve reimbursement for treatment of these clients\, support\, and education you can provide to families\, and address the needs of the whole client including these cognitive delays. This course will help therapists treating executive function delays improve evaluation and treatment in their pediatric clients. \nHighlights\n\nPractical identification and evaluation for executive functioning issues in pediatric clients\nEffective evidence-based treatment for improving executive functioning delays such as memory\, motor\, and self-regulation

SUMMARY:Self-Regulation Interventions for Children & Adolescents: Reduce Frustration\, Emotional Outbursts & Oppositional Behaviors - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will help you to better intervene with the challenging child—the one who won’t sit still; doesn’t follow directions; often throws tantrums; or has difficulty waiting for their turn. They may “hit first and ask questions later”. They react impulsively and have difficulty expressing what they need or what is frustrating them. We know this child is intelligent\, caring and kind\, but their behavior doesn’t reflect these positive qualities. These are the children who confuse and frustrate parents and who overwhelm teachers and peers. They struggle to meet basic expectations and are unable to succeed in school\, with peers and at home. \nJoin clinical psychologist Dr. Ehlert and learn to effectively intervene with the emotional and behavioral dysregulation of children with High-Functioning Autism\, ADHD\, Learning Disabilities and Sensory Processing Disorders. Through hands-on activities and dynamic discussion\, you will learn techniques\, behavioral strategies\, problem-solving strategies and brain training exercises to: \n\nAddress the sensory\, language and executive functioning processing deficits that trigger them\nIncrease their self-control\, social success\, emotional control and task completion\nTeach flexibility\, tolerance\, thinking it through and decision-making\nReduce the frequency and duration of their tantrums and emotional outbursts\n\nWalk away with proven emotional\, behavioral and processing strategies that lead to social and academic success!

SUMMARY:Sensory Integration Roadmap - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Sensory integration sessions are\, by nature\, child-led. Child-led therapy can be challenging to navigate and measure\, as it relies on the child’s spontaneous exploration. To support clinicians in this approach\, it is helpful to have a clear framework of the neurological processes involved in sensory integration. Once you understand the “why” of the neurology you will have a clear understanding of how to plan your sessions. This course provides a comprehensive overview of sensory processing theory and practice\, with a focus on how it relates to common motor challenges such as trunk weakness\, balance deficits\, bilateral coordination deficits and dyspraxia. By applying sensory processing principles to these areas\, therapists can enhance the child’s engagement\, motivation and progress. Physical therapists\, occupational therapists\, and speech-language pathologists will all benefit from this course. Learning how to identify a child’s unique sensory profile and in turn\, plan sessions with “just right” challenges\, will translate into improved outcomes. \nHighlights\n\nReview underlying neurology of sensory processing and how this relates to treatment planning\nPlan effective sensory Integration sessions while maintaining a child-led approach\nTake quality information into work the next day and provide better sessions for your kiddos!

SUMMARY:# 306 CAN-EAT Approach …Using medical\, motor\, & therapy strategies in pediatric feeding - 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: KRISTEN BRACKETT\, MS\, SLP/CCC
