NEW Feeding Course for Pediatric Therapists

Sensory processing, structural differences and varying experiences can each play a role in feeding challenges for children through adults. Join speaker, Danielle Carey, CCC-SLP, during this live webinar to strengthen your holistic approach to assessment and intervention for clients with feeding challenges, looking at muscle weakness, abnormal rest posture and swallowing patterns, sensory processing differences, retained reflexes, the mealtime environment, and more.

Pediatric Feeding Difficulty in Infants through Adolescents

Feeding challenges in childhood through adulthood can arise from sensory differences, structural differences, a lack of experience with advanced textures, or all the above. Enhance your feeding knowledge with this holistic approach that acknowledges the role of structural differences, retained reflexes, sensory differences, muscle weakness, and abnormal breathing/rest posture/swallow patterns on mealtime participation and eating. We’ve offered three dates to choose from:

Danielle will take the therapist through determining how to functionally assess for tongue ties and to determine when releases are warranted. You’ll also learn and embrace a neurodiversity affirming approach that accounts for individual differences including emotional support and counseling techniques that contribute to positive outcomes for clients and families struggling with feeding. This new course is full of insightful strategies and practical information that feeding therapists can start using with their families immediately.

NEW On-Demand with Bertie Gatlin “Intervention in the NICU”

Learn at Your Convenience with this NEW On-Demand

Roberta Gatlin has been a champion in the field of physical therapy, with multiple leadership positions and research publications complimenting her vast clinical and teaching expertise. This newest on-demand course, Intervention in the NICU: A Neurodevelopmental Approach, is recorded from her most recent live webinar and will engage the experienced NICU clinician, as well as those newer to this advanced practice setting and dedicated to gaining competence.

“I have attended many NICU intervention courses; this was by far the best organized, comprehensive, and useful course I have attended. Roberta Gatlin is so knowledgeable in NICU and pediatric concepts. My peers and I took away many ideas and concepts we will integrate into our NICU. This is a great course for both beginning and seasoned therapists.”

Hands-on Demonstration of Positioning and Handling of NICU Patients

With hands-on demonstrations and instruction, this course will provide participants with evidence-based assessment and intervention skills for the NICU environment. Participants will practice infant handling techniques in this context of evidence-based practice, enhancing outcomes for the babies and families they work with.

Be sure to have a doll on hand for this interactive course as Bertie takes you through identifying common self-regulation signals and different state behaviors displayed by premature infants. She’ll also discuss typical motor and sensory development observed in premature infants; 23-24 weeks gestational age to one month old post conceptual age.

Designed for therapists and developmental specialists working with the infant and family in the NICU, PICU, EI and home (up to their first year after discharge), this course is relevant not only to NICU therapists but those practicing outside the NICU, as well. Take the course at your own pace – pause, rewind and reflect on each section as she takes you through high-stake clinical situations and makes them well-rounded and approachable no matter your discipline or level of experience.
