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:# 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: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:“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!\n\nI look forward to seeing you there! Register today!

SUMMARY:Changing the ADHD Brain: Moving Beyond Medication - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Many persons diagnosed with ADHD prefer not to take medication. There are various reasons for this including side effects and concerns with long-term use. In this seminar\, you will learn more about these reasons\, as well as alternative interventions for ADHD. \nLooking at ADHD from a developmental perspective\, we will consider reasons for the apparent increase in ADHD diagnoses over the past two decades. By understanding the way the brain works in ADHD\, you will be able to better identify a variety of strategies to significantly impact the nervous system and positively influence symptoms of ADHD in your clients. \nNot only will you walk away with information about some of the most common non-medication interventions for ADHD such as computerized cognitive training\, mindfulness meditation\, and neurofeedback\, you will also learn a variety of practical strategies that can be implemented immediately and at low cost. \nWe will navigate the vast research on exercise\, movement\, diet\, sleep\, disruptive technologies\, supplements\, and the impact of the environment on ADHD\, summarizing the findings and applying the information to “real life”. You will leave this seminar with the tools and knowledge to develop a holistic approach to working with adults and children with ADHD.

SUMMARY:Infant Positioning Strategies Progressing Development while Promoting Safe Sleep - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Since the launch of the Back to Sleep campaign in 1994\, there has been a drastic shift in the way we care for infants. It is difficult to radically change one aspect of infant care without influencing other areas. We continue to see this effect with the rise of certain infant diagnoses in pediatric clinical practice. Clinicians routinely face the same questions from parents and caregivers seeking advice on “what is best for my baby?”\, fielding questions on SIDS and safe sleeping practices. Infant Positioning Strategies is a comprehensive continuing education course that navigates the maze of information to give clinicians the confidence and skills to effectively address them\, improve outcomes\, and teach parents how to keep their infants safe. What you know could save a baby’s life! \nIn this interactive course\, we will take a deep dive into the information on safe sleeping practices\, the leading theories on sudden infant death and highlight recommendations that will safeguard babies from preventable situations that endanger them. Participants will glean a wealth of information about evaluating and treating the now common diagnoses of torticollis\, plagiocephaly\, and other developmental delays in relation to the consequence of the back sleeping practice. Hands-on evaluation and advanced treatment techniques will be demonstrated in an interactive format. The topics of related reflex integration and sensory processing as it correlates to exclusive supine positioning will also be discussed. Participants will walk away from this course with a wealth of tools and knowledge to use immediately in the clinic. \nHighlights\n\nApplication of the NIH Safe Sleep recommendations and the practice of back sleeping to achieve a safe sleep environment\nEvaluating warning signs of torticollis\, plagiocephaly\, and other common developmental delays\nHands-on labs for manual torticollis techniques\, plagiocephaly positioning\, home exercise programs with caregiver carryover\nAssessment and treatment tools specific to improving feeding\, sensory processing\, reflex integration\, and motor development\nBest practices for ergonomic body position techniques while using car seats and other baby apparatuses
