January 29 - 30, 2010. Clinicians consulting with teachers and families are increasingly challenged by students with complex behavioral issues. As a result, therapists desire discriminating skills and tools to identify the basis of these complexities. Is the behavior a result of neurophysiological limitations in sensory processing or a manifestation of social and emotional experiences? Traditionally, models of intervention have isolated these two features as separate contributions of functional performance, which when viewed holistically are integrated and overlapping aspects of human behavior. This two day workshop will provide clinicians with an understanding of the integrated neurobiology of sensory processing and emotional/behavioral problems resulting in “challenging behavior”. Through lecture, problem solving labs and videotape analysis, therapists will learn where on the integrated sensory-emotional continuum, sensation and mental health concerns entwine. This understanding will assist therapists with their problem solving abilities allowing for easier treatment planning. Treatment strategies will be specific to the home and school environment based upon active analysis of identified behavioral concerns. The therapist will learn: Introduction to neurobiology of challenging behavior Sensory, emotional, and cognitive components of behavior Analyzing various overlapping contributions to behavior problems Integrating theories of intervention into a holistic approach to complex behaviors Develop treatment techniques, relationship building tools and dialoguing skills with complex students and their caregivers. Target Audience: OT\'s, COTA\'s, PT\'s, PTA\'s, and SLP\'s.

December 3 - 5, 2009, Kathleen Ganley instructor This course provides the participant with an understanding of the clinical significance of critical events during the gait cycle as well as the problem solving skills necessary to perform gait-related physical therapy evaluations and treatment planning in children with neuromuscular pathologies. Practical and clinically oriented assessment and treatment strategies, which can lead to substantial change in functional gait outcomes, are emphasized throughout the course. A strength of this course lies in the direct application of course material through hands-on labs directed by NDT-trained clinicians. This course is ideal for experienced clinicians who want to improve their familiarity with the kinematics and kinetics of normal gait, expand their analytical and problem solving skills, and immediately practice intervention strategies in a laboratory setting. Learning opportunities occur through lectures, group problem solving sessions, video applications, and handling labs. Upon completion of the course the participants will be able to: Discuss the biomechanics associated with each phase of the gait cycle and the functional significance of specific events within each phase. Identify deviations from typical gait observed in children with neuromuscular impairments and develop hypotheses. Apply clinical reasoning skills for the identification of treatment priorities and the development and testing of hypotheses. Apply Neuro-Developmental Treatment strategies to assist pediatric clients in achieving more effective and efficient functional gait and locomotor skills. Target audience: This three-day workshop is designed for Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapists working with treatment planning In children with neuromuscular pathologies.
