| Beyond Eyesight to Insight: The Advanced Course Dates = February 10, 2012 location = Tampa, FL description = 6.5 Contact Hours (.6 AOTA & .65 ASHA CEUs) Speakers: Carl Hillier, OD, FCOVD and Mary Kawar, MS, OT/L Advanced Level Course This experiential workshop invites experienced therapists to explore vestibular-visual processing in greater depth utilizing case studies from various diagnostic populations. Because visual function is so dynamically interwoven with movement, postural control, and functional task performance, the primary objective is to help participants hone problem solving skills for clinical practice. Videos, discussions, and practice labs will help to insure that visual and vestibular deficits can be comprehensively evaluated and ameliorated through collaborative assessment, critical clinical analysis, and optimal intervention strategies. Recent central nervous system research will be cited to support the information provided in this workshop as well as suggested readings for further study. contact = www.pdppro.com; Phone: 877-439-8865 email = corrine@pdppro.com |

| Clinical Approach to the Evaluation and Treatment of Congenital Muscular Torticollis Dates = April 13 & 14, 2012 location = Virginia Beach, VA description = With the implementation of the back to sleep program by the American Academy of Pediatrics, therapists are noting an increased incidence of children with positional torticollis and plagiocephaly (flattening of the head). This program presents guidelines for successful examination and progression of treatment and discharge for patients with torticollis. Guidelines incorporate current evidence and accepted treatment strategies. Short video case presentations will demonstrate treatment techniques followed by discussion. Includes 3 hours of home study prior to the course. This course content was developed by Pediatric Rehabilitation Department of the Hospital for Special Surgery.

| From Primitive Reflexes to Occupational Performance Dates = May 17, 2012, Feb 9, 2012 (Tampa Fl) location = New York, NY description = 6 Contact Hours (.6 AOTA & ASHA CEUS) Speaker: Mary Kawar, MS, OT/L Intro Level Course Reflex Integration has re-emerged as a “hot” therapeutic topic. This course is designed to bridge the gap between reflex oriented treatment and sensory integrative and occupational performance intervention. Observing components of dysfunction through a “reflex” lens can offer the clinician new insight which may expand therapeutic options. Participants will be guided to scaffold reflex assessment and treatment procedures into more typical occupational therapy practice. Learning how to intersperse quick, “power up” strategies into the treatment session will facilitate the achievement of more adaptive occupational performance while manifesting optimal dynamic postural control, emotional well-being, social ease and cognitive facility. Objectives: Participants will be able to: 1. Practice testing primitive reflexes, righting reactions, and equilibrium responses. 2. Demonstrate homologous, homolateral, and contralateral developmental movements as basic movement patterns and when expressed in functional activities. 3. Demonstrate a sensory integration activity for each of 4 different reflexes which facilitates their emergence and integration. 4. Describe the 3 most prevalent residual reflexes found in underachieving children and how these reflexes thwart subsequent developmental achievement. contact = Professional Development Programs: www.pdppro.com; 877-439-8865 email = corrine@pdppro.com |
| Applying Effective Sensory Diets for Children with SPD Dates = May 18-19, 2012 location = Denver, CO description = 14 Contact Hours (1.4 AOTA & ASHA CEUs) Lise Gerard Faulise, MS, OTR/L, BCP Intro Level Course This evidence-based course introduces the latest intervention techniques to improve functional outcomes for children with sensory processing disorders. Through lecture, case analysis, and group work, participants will learn to design a sensory supportive classroom, collaborate with families for greater effectiveness with sleeping /eating behaviors and apply sensory diet strategies to create innovative community models of practice. A special emphasis is on comprehensive individualized sensory diet techniques for improving outcomes in those with sensory modulation and discrimination disorders. While children are a key focal point, this course is intended to teach a clinical reasoning model for all ages and populations. Objectives: Participants will be able to: 1. Apply the latest research on sensory integration and sensory processing to improve attention, coordination, social participation, behavior, and self esteem. 2. Analyze activity for optimizing intervention effectiveness and maximizing outcomes. 3. Implement sensory diets across the curriculum to create a sensory-friendly and learning supportive environment. 4. Develop sensory diet strategies through home programming and community activities. 5. Collaborate effectively using innovative sensory strategies and tools for clinic, home, and school based services. contact = Professional Development Programs: www.pdppro.com; 877-439-8865 email = corrine@pdppro.com |

| The CEU Group Dates = Year-round location = Nationwide description = The CEU Group is a brand new twist on an old idea in continuing education. The idea is that a professional can get a discount on a course by registering as a group. But what if said professional does not have the resources or contacts to get a group together? In the past, this situation has meant that the professional has to pay 10-35% more to attend the event. This result is no longer necessary! The CEU Group is working with many providers of continuing education to get group rates, and even better to hundreds of courses nationwide. We then pass those discounts down to you, the licensed professional, so you can get the great continuing education you need at a price you want. To come see how this works, please come visit us at www.theceugroup.com and join our fast-growing database to keep abreast on new partnerships and new participating events in your area. contact = www.theceugroup.com email = justin@theceugroup.com |
| Evaluation and Treatment of balance impairment for children. Dates = on line location = on line description = Interactive video-based course provides an overview of assessing and treatment of balance impairment for children. contact = 00971507729565 email = yramiah@alain-hospital.ae |
| Neuro-Developmental Treatment Approach for Infants and Toddlers Dates = March 23 & 24, 2012 location = Baltimore, MD description = Learn how to identify and treat the challenges that infants and toddlers must overcome when faced with a neurological deficit or simply a developmental delay. Typical and atypical development will be reviewed as they relate to one another and how the infant/toddler develops functional movement behaviors. Current philosophy and principles of the Neuro-Developmental Treatment approach will be presented as it relates to treatment of the infant and toddler. Slides, video and observation of infant movement will reinforce typical development. Movement labs will be used to facilitate one another through movement transitions and to learn handling techniques on an infant-sized doll. Observation of an assessment and treatment session will show treatment and handling techniques on a client.

Treating Hidden Visual Vestibular Problems to Improve School Performance, Movement and Behavior
Dates = Baltimore - March 16 & 17, 2012; Burlington - May 4 & 5, 2012
location = Baltimore, MD and Burlington, NC
description = Recognizing the subtle signs of visual and vestibular dysfunction, that significantly impact social skills and school
performance, is often the key to designing effective treatment for improved sensory processing, motor skills and behavior in children
with a variety of diagnoses.
Through extensive video case analysis of infants, toddlers and school age children, this course examines the role of
sensory-motor development and visual vestibular integration in the development of attention, modulation, visual perception and
social skills.
Discussion will include biochemical/metabolic issues, assessment techniques including screening tools for behavioral vision
issues, innovative treatment techniques, and strategies for sharing information with parents and teachers. While the majority of the
case studies are of children, described treatments also have been applied with great success among adults.
