Introducing a 4-part CEU series focused on Neonatal Therapy
ERI is excited to announce that neonatal expert, Anjanette Lee, MS, CCC/SLP, CNT, NTMTC, will be presenting a new 4-part series on Neonatal Therapy. These parts can be taken sequentially, or as stand alone courses. Parts 1 and 2 occurred in the fall of 2023, however, we’re happy to share that those courses are now available to view on-demand.
This is a great opportunity to get up to speed if you’re interested in taking all 4 parts sequentially. The live webinar for Parts 3 and 4 are currently scheduled for the spring and fall of 2024 with dates listed below.
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: Now available on-demand
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: Now available on-demand
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: Webinar scheduled for March 8 or September 20
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: Webinar scheduled for September 21
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.
Who is the audience for this series?
These courses are excellent for new-to-NICU therapists beginning to establish competency or therapists studying for the Neonatal Therapy Certificate Exam. This series will offer newer therapists more framework and assistance in solidifying an approach to working with NICU patients.
Additionally, this series could also be a helpful refresher to more seasoned NICU therapists who want to revisit the fundamentals and view this information through a new lens of experience. By viewing this framework through a different lens, therapists could have the opportunity to organize their approach to NICU patients differently and apply their experience in a new way.
And finally, if you have any colleagues, students, residents, mentorship programs, etc. that you think this information could be useful towards, please feel free to share this series with those who may be interested.
Do I need to attend the entire 4-part series for credit?
No! 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 – it’s totally up to you. And if you’re just learning about this series now and interested in catching up, the Part 1 and Part 2 on-demand will allow you to get up to speed before attending Parts 3 and 4.
Registration is now available for all four parts! Questions? Reach out to ERI at info@educationresourcesinc.com or call 800-487-6530.
