Introducing a brand new, 4-part CEU series focused on Neonatal Therapy. This series can be taken sequentially, or as stand alone courses.
ERI is excited to announce the first of a 4-part series on Neonatal Therapy. Neonatal Therapy – Establishing Skills for Independent Practice Part 1 – Fundamental Knowledge, will be presented this spring via live webinar on March 25, 2023.
Presented by renowned neonatal expert, Anjanette Lee, this first part of the four-part series will focus on three Fundamental Knowledge components:
- The NICU Environment and its impact on premature infant development
- The building blocks of neonatal therapy practice, and
- A thorough dive into neonatal body systems
This 4-part series will be perfect for NTs studying for the Neonatal Therapy Certificate Exam and for those beginning to establish competency by 1) laying a foundation of fundamental knowledge, 2) closing gaps within core competencies, and 3) assuring both fundamental knowledge and core competency knowledge are applied during NICU interventions.
What do each of the four parts cover?
PART 1:
In Part 1 of this beginner to intermediate course, you will learn foundational knowledge pertaining to the philosophical and structural framework supporting neonatal therapy, the impact of the environment on the developing neonate and family, and the body system dynamics that influence the neonate’s development and the neonatal therapist’s supportive interventions.
PART 2:
In Part 2 of this beginner to intermediate course, you will learn foundational knowledge pertaining to both the maternal and neonatal medical histories, medical and neonatal therapy equipment, and neonatal therapy assessment tools.
PART 3:
In Part 3 of this beginner to intermediate course, you will take an in-depth dive into the knowledge and integration of skills needed for independent practice in neonatal therapy, covering micro- and macro-environments, family support, the sensory system, and the neurobehavioral system.
PART 4:
In Part 4 of this beginner to intermediate course, you will take an in-depth dive into the knowledge and integration of skills needed for independent practice in neonatal therapy, covering oral feeding and swallowing and the neuromotor & musculoskeletal systems.
Do I need to attend the entire 4-part series for credit?
Nope! The beauty of this series is that participants can pick and choose which part(s) they want to attend. Choose to attend only 1 part or all 4 parts – totally up to you. Part 1 will be offered in the spring, followed by Part 2 in the fall of 2023. Parts 3 and 4 will be offered in the spring of 2024 with more details to follow.
The Part 1 course will be offered via live webinar on March 25, 2023 for 4 contact hours (0.4 CEUs). Registration is now open and the cost is $149/person.
