SUMMARY:ACT with Anxiety: Help Clients Get Unstuck from Anxiety and Enrich Their Lives - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:As a therapist\, it’s likely you treat stress and anxiety successfully with techniques like relaxation almost every day. But have you noticed that some clients seem to just get worse\, despite your best efforts? That the more you work to reduce the stress or the anxiety\, the worse it gets? \nTeaching relaxation\, coping or distress tolerance skills may be fine for surviving a crisis\, but in the long run\, they often subtly reinforce avoidance of thoughts and feelings. Even talking about anxiety week after week in therapy can become a form of avoidance! Worse still\, the struggle with anxiety can become ingrained in clients’ sense of identity\, and their lives become very restricted and without purpose or meaning. \nJoin ACT expert and author Dr. Richard Sears as he brings the principles of ACT to life with his wisdom\, humor\, and passion. He’ll help you transform your clients’ relationship with their anxieties to help them build a life worth living. You’ll learn how to skillfully use: \n\nAcceptance and mindfulness processes to help clients relate differently to anxious thoughts and feelings\nCommitment and behavioral change processes to help them flexibly move in the direction of a more meaningful life\n\nFrom explaining the ins and outs of ACT with anxiety using everyday metaphors and samples\, Dr. Sears’ provides dozens of techniques that can transform your clients’ suffering in the very first session! \nAnd as an added bonus\, you’ll receive an EXCLUSIVE 25% OFF discount on Dr. Sears’ ACT with Anxiety and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Mindfulness Toolbox books— when you purchase either or both with registration!

SUMMARY:Positional Release: Reflex Release for Painful Trigger Points & Muscle Tension - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\nSo many people suffer with painful muscle trigger points as the result of stress\, tension\, and injury.  Functional impairments and participation restrictions result from the pain and motion limitations associated with trigger points (TPs). In this program\, learn to manage painful TPs and muscle spasm\, and the neurophysiological reflexes that modulate muscle tension. The use of gentle positioning to relax and release abnormal muscle tension is described. Specific positions are demonstrated\, based on the strain-counterstrain principles first described by Dr. Lawrence Jones\, DO\, to reduce painful TPs and improve mobility and function. Research review indicates the efficacy of using gentle positioning to improve flexibility\, strength\, reduce pain and improve performance. Imagine being able to reduce painful TPs in just 90 seconds! \nCourse Objectives\nAt the end of this course\, the participant will be able to: \n\nDiscuss the theoretical basis and evidence-based research for positional release (PRT).\nIdentify trigger points (TPs) and their relationship to neuromuscular tension and pain.\nApply specific positioning interventions to reduce the painful sensitivity of TPs\, release abnormal neuromuscular tension and improve functional mobility.\nDiscuss the research evidence for the positive outcomes of positional release.

SUMMARY:Strengthening Executive Functioning Skills in Children with ADHD - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\nChildren and teens diagnosed with ADHD have challenges in their executive functioning. These may show up as problems following directions or remembering a sequence of activities. Children may have difficulty learning from past mistakes\, staying focused for duration of a task\, or maintaining emotional control in stressful situation. They may struggle with organization of personal items or to-do lists\, with being flexible with unexpected changes\, and with managing their time efficiently. These difficulties\, in turn\, manifest into problems at home\, school\, work\, and with social skills. \nExecutive functioning skills are the missing link between intentions and action. In this presentation we will identify the executive functioning skills and discuss how they are impacted by ADHD and related neurodiverse diagnoses. We will identify how to evaluate executive functioning and discuss intervention strategies and ways that we can increase support to improve development of the executive functions throughout childhood and adolescence and into early adulthood. The participant will learn three ways to empower individuals of all ages to strengthen executive functioning skills. \nThis course is presented in lecture form with questionnaires and handouts developed by the instructor to assist the participant in working with children and families. \nCourse Objectives\nAt the end of this course\, the participant will be able to: \n\nDefine Executive Functioning and identify the executive skills\nList ways in which executive skills are impacted by ADHD and related diagnoses\nIdentify how to evaluate executive functioning skills\nDiscuss each skill in detail and identify intervention strategies to enhance development of executive skills\nDifferentiate common issues related to executive functioning skills across childhood and adolescence\nList 3 ways to structure treatment in order to empower individuals to strengthen their executive functioning skills

SUMMARY:Ocular Motor Skills and Their Effect on Learning: Challenges\, Testing and Remediation - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Course 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\nDevelop an understanding of the visual system\, 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.\nUnderstand how to accommodate for common secondary issues associated with ocular motor challenges.
