SUMMARY:Current Concepts of Shoulder Tendinopathies: An Exercise & Manual Therapy Approach - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\nThe shoulder is an area that is highly susceptible to tendon-related pain and injury.  Given the complexity of tendon overlay at this area and high level of mobility in the shoulder complex\, tendinopathy can be a difficult condition to manage conservatively.  The rotator cuff and biceps tendons are common sources of pain generation.  Characterized by painful mechanical loading of an involved tendon\, tendinopathy is a common clinical condition associated with significant limitations in daily activities.  Recent research has improved the understanding and management of tendinopathy; however\, clinical management of this condition continues to be variable in both type and theory of intervention.  Current standard of therapy practice has yet to leverage the latest literature for effective treatment of tendinopathy. \nProgressive mechanical loading has been found to be an effective management strategy\, but the research is variable between the upper and lower extremities.  Different modes of strength training\, including isometric\, isotonic\, isolated eccentric\, and isokinetic\, can be used to control pain\, improve motor control\, and enhance function in pathological tissue. \nTendinopathy of the upper extremities can have profound negative effects on an individual’s ability to participate in and return to their previous level of functional activities.  This presentation will highlight current available evidence related to shoulder tendinopathy and provide simple\, effective\, and easy-to-implement clinical management strategies for pain\, progression of functional activities\, and treatment of the entire kinetic chain.  The emphasis of this course will be on exercise and manual therapy strategies. \nCourse Objectives\nAt the end of this course\, the participant will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the most current research related to upper and lower extremity tendinopathy\nDescribe examination components in the evaluation of tendinopathy\nUtilize strategies for pain management and treatment of the entire kinetic chain.\nDevelop a rehabilitation program that incorporates guidelines for tissue loading progression and return to activity

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? \nThat was the question I posed to myself twelve years ago. 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 2016. 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!

SUMMARY:The Get Permission Approach to Tube Feeding with Love
DESCRIPTION:You will learn to:\n\n\n\nIdentify different types of feeding tubes\, including: a nasogastric tube (NG tube)\, a gastrostomy tube (G-Tube)\, gastro-jejunal tube (G-J Tube)\, and a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube.\nImplement strategies to support the feeding relationship between parents and tube-fed children\nIdentify red flags that may indicate a need for changes in tube-feeding routines (including a child’s distress with feeding)\nIdentify when a child demonstrates readiness to transition off of a feeding tube.\nUnderstand the importance of internal motivation and factors that contribute to a child’s development of appetite\nUse tube feedings to help a child learn to eat orally\nIncorporate information from growth charts into treatment planning\nCollaborate with a child’s family and medical team in order to problem-solve tube feeding challenges\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCourse Description\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Permission is a trust-based approach to pediatric feeding intervention. This three-day (16.5 hours) long workshop will provide a comprehensive overview of feeding tubes using the Get Permission framework. Content will include an introduction to the mechanics of feeding tubes\, why a child may receive a feeding tube\, and how feeding tubes can be used to support a child’s growth. There will be a special emphasis on helping course participants learn how feeding tubes can be used to support the relationship between parents and their children. Participants will learn how feeding tubes can be used to promote emotional well-being of parents and support a child’s mealtime participation. A significant portion of the course will be devoted to helping participants develop clinical reasoning skills to identify when a child may be ready to transition off of a feeding tube and begin oral eating. Additional topics will include: The benefits of a homemade blended diet\, strategic use of hunger\, oral-motor skill acquisition\, and application of Get Permission strategies for treatment success. Video examples and real-life case studies will be used to help participants apply Get Permission principles to their own practice. This workshop is filled with practical mealtime and treatment suggestions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCEU Info\n\n\n\n\n\nCertificates will be issued verifying participation in 16.5 hours of continuing education once full attendance has been verified.

Please contact us at hello@getpermissioninstitute.com  with any needs regarding accommodations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWhat is Get Permission?\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Permission is a relationship-based approach used to support families who have children with feeding challenges. The approach is rooted in the principles of responsive feeding and actively promotes a child’s autonomy while fostering connection\, trust\, and consistent communication between the child and caregiver. In this approach\, adults support children to “give permission” by demonstrating physical and emotional readiness for eating. Get Permission strategies are based on typical development and help children discover their internal drive to eat through appetite\, enjoyment\, and relationships. \nChildren who participate in feeding therapy using the Get Permission Approach develop the skill\, confidence\, and internal motivation they need to thrive. Families who adopt the principles of the Get Permission approach learn to respect a child’s individual differences while helping them to participate in mealtimes\, feel celebrated\, and develop a positive relationship with food. As a result\, children learn to try new foods independently and enjoy eating without pressure. Therapists who use Get Permission benefit from understanding how they might support parents and children in a pressure-free way that is rich with practical strategies for treatment.

SUMMARY:INTERNAL PD OPPORTUNITY: Language Acquisition through Motor Planning (LAMP)-Live
DESCRIPTION:The Arizona Department of Education/Exceptional Student Services Assistive Technology Team is pleased to announce “Language  Acquisition through Motor Planning (LAMP)” with John Halloran\, M.S.\, CCC-SLP. LAMP is an augmentative alternative communication (AAC) approach designed to give individuals who are nonverbal a method of independently and spontaneously expressing themselves through a speech-generating device. PRCs language systems and devices will be used to illustrate treatment components; however\, LAMP principles can be applied to any AAC device or system. This is a 2-day\, in-person training; due to the hands-on training this workshop offers\, seats are limited. This training is designed for special education teachers and therapists who work with students using Augmentative/Alternative Communication (AAC). \nSponsored by the Arizona Department of Education/Exceptional Student Services \nHosted by Phoenix Elementary School District \nDate:              Tuesday and Wednesday\, February 14–15\, 2023 \nTimes:           8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. \nFee:                Free (lunch on your own) \nWhere:           Phoenix ESD District Office \n1817 N 7th St\, Phoenix\, AZ 85006 \nCourse​ ​Description:  \nDay 1: Foundations of the Therapeutic Approach \nLAMP is an augmentative alternative communication (AAC) approach designed to give individuals who are nonverbal a method of independently and spontaneously expressing themselves through a speech-generating device. This course will cover the components of LAMP: readiness to learn\, engaging the learner through joint engagement\, and learning language through a unique and consistent motor plan paired with an auditory signal and a natural consequence. Discussion will include how this approach addresses the core language deficits of autism\, device features that are beneficial to teaching language\, and how to use those features to implement LAMP components. Videos will be used to illustrate the treatment components. \nDay 2: Hands-On Learning with iPads and Devices \nParticipants will receive some hands-on time and are encouraged to bring their own device (Accent or iPad with WFL). Discussion will include assessing current language level\, setting goals for developmental progression\, and analyzing data logging. The presenter will cover a variety of strategies and supports to support language development such as expanding vocabulary in natural environments\, modeling\, teaching the motor plan\, and how to use aided language input.
