SUMMARY:Discharge Recommendations in Acute Care Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:With the increasing utilization of acute care hospitals\, there is increasing need to improve patient outcomes and improve interdisciplinary communication for discharge planning. Therapists play an important function in these multidisciplinary teams to provide input on each patient’s current functional status and potential improvement. The focus of this course is to present evolving evidence to help provide consistent and appropriate discharge recommendations from a therapy perspective. \nThis course will help the individual therapist provide discharge recommendations based not only on clinical judgement\, but on support from current research. Following the completion of this course the therapist will demonstrate and increased understanding of the discharge process\, improved clinical decision making for next level of care\, and streamline interdisciplinary communication. Participants will also leave with a greater understanding of the bundle payment care initiative program.

SUMMARY:Wound Care Essentials - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Wound Care. These two words often produce anxiety and dread within the healthcare community. The contributing factors to this response typically are related to limited exposure to this area of practice. This lack of exposure may create a sense of apprehension or uneasiness in making the appropriate clinical decision for these types of patients. The focus of this 2-hour interactive webinar will be to alleviate this apprehension and help every healthcare clinician increase their confidence in proper wound identification and intervention. \nDuring this course you will learn essential wound identification and assessment skills\, understand the key principles in selecting appropriate topical wound interventions\, and be able to make appropriate decision for recommending other services and interventions. By the end of the course you will be able to identify and classify wound types and establish an initial treatment plan to help the patient on the road to successful wound healing.

SUMMARY:Utilizing Effective Skilled Maintenance Therapy - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Because of a landmark court case: Jimmo vs. Sebelius (2011)\, whereby the plaintiffs argued the federal guidelines that Medicare was required to cover skilled care for those who needed it to maintain their current level of performance\, or to slow a decline in health and/or function\, maintenance therapy was formally proposed as a reimbursable service. In 2013\, a settlement was put into place that effectively removed the “improvement requirement.” In 2018\, according to the Center for Medicare Advocacy\, despite the established guidelines\, many people are still being denied access to maintenance care and therapy – “in part because many health care providers have not been properly educated\, and in part because many providers are still skeptical that Medicare would alter its coverage practices”. \nThis essential course will provide an overview of “Maintenance Therapy”\, how and when it is appropriate\, what environment it can be performed in\, what type of interventions can be maintenance\, how to DOCUMENT interventions\, including goals and dispel the myth that improvement and/or progress is necessary! Participants will learn how to document “skill”\, determine frequency and duration of services and be compliant with the LAW.

SUMMARY:Assessment & Treatment of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Dizziness accounts for 5.6 million clinic visits a year in the US. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most frequent single cause of isolated positional vertigo\, accounting for nearly one-half of patients with peripheral vestibular dysfunction. Approximately 17-41% of patients seen in dizziness clinics and 25% of patients sent for vestibular testing have BPPV. Most often\, BPPV can be easily diagnosed and treated with 100% resolution of symptoms in clinics within 1-2 treatment sessions. However\, there has been an increasing number of cases with atypical presentation of BPPV needing clinical expertise in recognition\, assessment\, and treatment. As a practicing healthcare professional\, no matter what your expertise is\, adding knowledge and treatment methods to your toolbox for this disorder is imperative for supplementation of a complete therapeutic skill set. \nPracticing healthcare professionals will leave this workshop with a clear understanding of the normal functioning of the inner ear’s vestibular system\, pathophysiology of BPPV and its variants\, and application of a simple clinical algorithm to help make differential diagnosis of BPPV. A review of current clinical practice guidelines will be included to strengthen the differential diagnosis process and clinical application of treatment of both typical and atypical BPPV. A case study in the end will include participant’s participation to recognize signs and symptoms of typical and atypical BPPV\, make a diagnosis\, and then prepare a treatment plan. In addition\, participants will learn to recognize when a patient is not presenting with BPPV and when to refer to a neurologist or another medical specialist. Multiple videos will be used to demonstrate clinical assessment and treatment maneuvers of BPPV and its variants.

SUMMARY:Distracted and Disorganized Kids in a Digital Generation: Techniques to Influence Neuroplasticity\, Manage Screen Time & Implement Sensory Smart Movement - Scottsdale
DESCRIPTION:Gen Z is the first generation to grow up with smart technology. The use of screens is not just impacting social skills and human interaction\, it’s compromising neurosensory development! \nAs learning and leisure time becomes increasingly screen-based\, children are over-using their visual systems at the expense of exploring the environment and activating their senses for learning through movement. While the impact of screens on social interactions and self-esteem are being increasingly recognized\, clinicians and educators need to understand the potential implications as it relates to neurosensory development. \nAs clinicians and educators\, we are equipped with many programs and interventions based on neurodevelopmental principles. Now\, we need to apply them in the context of an increasingly digital world. \nTreating requires a new framework to ensure we activate the senses for learning and model the habits of success. This is especially true for children with ADHD\, Autism\, LD\, sensory processing\, and motor deficits\, who\, at baseline\, require more opportunities for multi-sensory integration to increase attention and enhance brain development for learning than their neurotypical peers. \nIn this program\, you will enhance your existing therapeutic techniques to: \n\nDetermine a child’s digital and sensory-learning profile to inform treatment planning\nIdentify the influence of smart technology and screen time on neuroplasticity in children with ADHD\, LD\, Autism\, and SPD\nRebalance the brain-body connection through controlled activation of multiple senses\nOptimize connection and cognition while supporting recovery from dysregulation and digital overload\nInstill the habits of success: mindset\, state regulation\, and movement

SUMMARY:Special Education Law in Arizona - Scottsdale
DESCRIPTION:One of the greatest challenges that you face today is ensuring compliance and implementation of the IDEA. With the many recent changes in both federal and state special education regulations\, it is essential that you not only have an awareness of the changes taking place\, but also have an understanding of how these changes impact your day-to-day activities and the students you serve. A cursory knowledge of the law or applying common sense does not begin to protect school districts and professionals against the potential legal and financial consequences of misinterpreting special education regulations. Attend this seminar for the latest information on developments in the reauthorized IDEA and gain practical advice on how to effectively implement IDEA requirements in order to ensure compliance with the regulations while meeting the needs of students with disabilities. Find answers to the following questions and many more. \nWhat are the current Best Practices? \nHow can data assist in IEP defense and litigation? \nHow can I better support our schools\, teachers and special education staff?

SUMMARY:Development of Executive Function in Children
DESCRIPTION:Executive function development begins at a young age and progresses into early adulthood\, allowing a person to be independent\, efficient\, and successful in an ever-changing world. Executive function skills are the foundational blocks of learning and academic success that help drive our behaviors and emotions\, allowing us to have successful relationships. Development of these skills involves a gradual process that is individualized for each child\, based on the maturation of the prefrontal cortex. Genetics and environment have an interactive and dynamic role as well. Executive function skills are crucial for our children to meet today’s academic demands and navigate the social expectations. \nThis course will provide an understanding of executive function\, the core dimensions\, and how to support overall skills with practical strategies which can be used in a variety of environments. Neuroplasticity allows for the development and enhancement of executive function so that children can understand expectations\, follow rules\, control emotion\, have social relationships\, school readiness\, and academic success. Participants will review how to modify existing activities by making them more motivating and enjoyable\, while providing challenges to promote and enable enhancement through active learning and novel play schemes. The goal is to support children to be able to plan\,resist temptations\, regulate emotions\, and stay on tasks to achieve independent success in their daily lives.

SUMMARY:Telehealth Ergonomics for Healthcare Professionals - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:For years\, the American Physical Therapy Associationhas been telling us as practitioners: “Telehealth will not replace traditional clinical care – but it will give flexibility to provide services efficiently. Quicker screening\, assessment and referral can improve care coordination within collaborative delivery models.” They go on to further admit what’s now undeniable: “In physical therapy\, patients /clients are asking for more time-efficient and less costly care models. Busy lifestyles make it difficult for greater numbers of people to attend traditional BIW / TIW appointments. Applications of telehealth in physical therapy already allows PT’s to better communicate with patients / clients and provide more flexible care.” These statements were all made prior to the new realities of a post-COVID-19 clinical landscape. \nTelehealth Ergonomics is a novel approach to computer workstation ergonomic assessment and modification whosetime has come – especially with the current pressures made starkly clear by the new COVID-19 reality. This emerging wayto work effectively and efficiently will reduce the personalcost of obtaining expert ergonomic assessments andinterventions and provide an evidence-based and systematic program of completing ergonomic assessments remotely. It will also offer the scrupulous practitioner a new area of expertise and commerce. It couldn’t come at a better time.
