Program: PESI, Inc.

Audience: PESI attendees that have completed the course through PESI and are requesting Act 48 hours

Dates: 4/1/2024 to 6/30/2024

Since the Covid-19 Pandemic began, children across the country and the world have experienced significant changes within their homes, schools, and communities. Interactions with family members, teachers, therapists have suddenly shifted, and become unfamiliar, resulting in less productive opportunities for learning and growth. Children with autism are especially vulnerable to negative impacts, as they work to process complex emotions and implement successful coping strategies in their new environment. Through the development of a trusting relationship, children with autism can begin to gain the co-regulation skills necessary to develop self-awareness, and ultimately empower independent problem-solving and self-monitoring skills. The initial development of trust and positive regard within a relationship is crucial when supporting emotional advocacy and communication skills. Join me in this exciting, innovative, and evidence-informed recording. Finish feeling invigorated, with a new plan of action for how to use standard models and strategies in new ways to facilitate meaningful and lasting trauma recovery.

17. (PESI) Distracted and Disorganized Kids in a Digital Generation: Techniques to Influence Neuroplasticity, Manage Screen Time & Implement Sensory Smart Movement

Program: PESI, Inc.

Audience: PESI activity attendees that have completed the course and are requesting Act 48 hours.

Dates: 4/1/2024 to 6/30/2024

Gen Z is the first generation to grow up with smart technology. The use of screens is not just impacting social skills and human interaction, it's compromising neurosensory development! As learning and leisure time becomes increasingly screen-based, children are over-using their visual systems at the expense of exploring the environment and activating their senses for learning through movement. While the impact of screens on social interactions and self-esteem are being increasingly recognized, clinicians and educators need to understand the potential implications as it relates to neurosensory development. As clinicians and educators, we are equipped with many programs and interventions based on neurodevelopmental principles. Now, we need to apply them in the context of an increasingly digital world. Treating requires a new framework to ensure we activate the senses for learning and model the habits of success. This is especially true for children with ADHD, Autism, LD, sensory processing, and motor deficits, who, at baseline, require more opportunities for multi-sensory integration to increase attention and enhance brain development for learning than their neurotypical peers. In this recording, you will enhance your existing therapeutic techniques to:
• Determine a child's digital and sensory-learning profile to inform treatment planning
• Identify the influence of smart technology and screen time on neuroplasticity in children with ADHD, LD, Autism, and SPD
• Rebalance the brain-body connection through controlled activation of multiple senses
• Optimize connection and cognition while supporting recovery from dysregulation and digital overload
• Instill the habits of success: mindset, state regulation, and movement

18. (PESI) Early Intervention for ASD: Building Rhythms in Relationships through DIR®

Program: PESI, Inc.

Audience: PESI attendees that have completed the course through PESI and are requesting Act 48 hours

Dates: 4/1/2024 to 6/30/2024

Rhythms in life are present in many forms, and for children and families, these rhythms are most present within their interactions and daily life. Yet, a child with ASD may have difficulty with rhythmicity due to underlying sensory processing and motor challenges, which impacts synchrony within relationships. Looking through a Developmental, Individual, Relationship-based® (DIR) lens, Stacy Rosello, MA, OTR/L, will teach you why rhythms are important to early intervention for autism. You'll learn strategies and tools to help foster and match rhythms between the child and caregiver. Attend and you'll learn how to:

• Recognizes the unique neurobiological profiles of the child and caregiver

• Help the caregiver understand the idiosyncratic characteristics and subtle nuanced signals of their infant, toddler or preschooler

• Match child and parent rhythms within their interactions and teach the caregiver how to respond sensitively and to adapt contingently by embedding rhythms into routines and rituals, the child adapts and becomes empowered, driving development. In time, these meaningful experiences create connectedness and cherished family bonds.

OBJECTIVES
1. Theorize the reasons why achieving rhythm in a relationship for a child with ASD may be difficult. 2. Use DIR strategies to support rhythmicity and "synchrony” in interactions to foster relationships in a child with ASD and caregiver. 3. Create rhythmicity within relationships to build routines and rituals that foster family bonding.

Dates: 4/1/2024 to 6/30/2024

Are your clients ready for their next step? Transition to adulthood, including attending college or starting employment, is a time of significant change for many individuals. For neurodivergent individuals, excitement and anticipation of this change is frequently coupled with a sense of nervousness about how to manage these next important steps. Many times, as individuals in "helping” professions, we work hard on ensuring that every accommodation and support is put into place for our children and clients. Where we fall short, is allowing for opportunities of exploration and autonomy within a structured setting. This way, clients learn their best practices, and how to advocate for them. It is critical that therapists, educators, and all stakeholders consider post-secondary transition needs and make a targeted plan to support a student's journey to independence. In this session, transition planning best practices are used to consider therapeutic outcomes and to support targeted goal setting. A variety of evidence-based methods for promoting dynamic learning, self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-advocacy strategies to build a student's personal autonomy are discussed. Attendees will be provided with strategies ready for immediate use.

Program: PESI, Inc.

Audience: PESI activity attendees that have completed the course and are requesting Act 48 hours.

Dates: 4/1/2024 to 6/30/2024

Strategies to improve the ability of adults with ADHD to: -Get organized -Manage time -Control emotions -Avoid procrastination -Stay focused -Control impulses -Shift gears/roll with the punches -Keep track of it all Many adults with ADHD fail to finish college, hold down a job, progress in their career, or maintain satisfactory relationships with friends and family. Failure and the recognition that they are working well below their potential erode self-confidence and eat away at self-esteem. Even highly motivated clients with ADHD struggle to follow through on the changes they need to make to improve their physical or emotional well-being. They know they need to change, they know what they need to do to change, they may even be able to take a step or two toward making those changes-and then they plateau or give up. What's getting in the way is not their unwillingness or resistance to change, but weak executive skills. Executive skills are underlying brain processes that help people manage their everyday lives, get things done, control their emotions, and help them manage obstacles that interfere with productivity and behavior change. Attend this seminar and learn cutting-edge neuroscience on executive functioning and practical strategies for your ADHD clients to help them overcome the obstacles presented by weak executive skills. At the end of the day you will be able to best help your clients assess their executive skill strengths and weaknesses and create an action plan that is realistic and leads to true and lasting change.

Program: PESI, Inc.

Audience: PESI activity attendees that have completed the course and are requesting Act 48 hours

Dates: 4/1/2024 to 6/30/2024

As an educator, you are faced with the challenge of meeting the social and emotional needs of all your students. This can be challenging enough with typical learners but it is even more difficult with those who have experienced trauma or have mental health challenges. Students who have experienced trauma often present as difficult to engage and display problematic behavior such as a low frustration tolerance, angry outbursts, or difficult social relationships. These behaviors all get in the way of teaching and learning. When a student has experienced trauma, he/she often spends much of the day in fight/flight/freeze mode which limits their capacity to learn. Their outwardly aggressive and irritable behaviors also disrupt the flow in the classroom, requiring your time and attention. Despite the amount of time you invest in behavior charts or incentives for good behavior, traditional behavioral approaches to classroom management and a punitive approach to discipline simply are not effective. Join Dr. Reese in the recording and learn how a trauma-informed approach will greatly reduce challenging behavior, improve student engagement and increase learning outcomes. Finish this program with new strategies, tools, and resources to reduce students' impulsiveness, aggressive behaviors, and inattention and increase their focus, attention, and compassion. While this positive approach is absolutely essential for students with trauma, it will also greatly benefit each and every student in your classroom. Return to your school with:

• Research-based practices to establish a trauma-informed classroom

• A plan to develop positive relationships and build trust with your hard-to-reach students

• Prove techniques for communicating more effectively and collaboratively with challenging students

• Cognitive skill-building strategies which incorporate the science of neuroplasticity and the strengths-based perspective of neurodiversity

- Phonological Intervention Approaches & Elicitation Strategies: This course will provide rationales and overviews of several evidence-based phonological interventions, including complexity, cycles, minimal pairs, multiple oppositions, and the stimulability approach. Strategies for choosing and implementing these approaches, as well as techniques for elicitation of common phonological patterns, will be provided, along with videos of actual therapy sessions demonstrating implementation.
- Residual Articulation Errors: Lateral Lisps and R Errors: Many SLPs find correcting lateral lisps and residual /r/ errors among children to be extremely challenging. SLPs frequently have older children with these residual articulation errors and distortions on their caseloads, which can be even more difficult to remediate. This presentation will focus on particular elicitation strategies that can be effective for older children who have such habituated and motorically-based errors and distortions, such as phonetic shaping and cognitive reframing.
