| Treating the Neck as a Foundation for Oral Motor Function & Sensory Motor Development Dates/Location = July 30-31, 2010/Corpus Christi Texas and 11/13/2010 (6 contact hours) Speaker: Irene Ingram, OTR/L This advanced course is presented to establish a protocol for evaluating and treating neck problems as a first step in viewing children with oral motor, developmental and sensory processing problems. Evaluation and treatment of a child’s head and neck is essential for resolving structural problems that impair information from the cranial nerves. These issues are often seen as a central nervous system problem when the location of the issue is peripheral in nature and can block normal information to the mouth, sensory systems, motor system and the entire developmental process. These issues often occur with difficult births, falls, low tone, excessive positioning on the back, low vision, stress, and other developmental problems that put excessive stress on the head and neck. This problem will be linked to other related issues in areas of development so the participant will be able to establish a solid foundation on which to build skills. PDP is an AOTA Approved Provider. contact = For a complete look at our courses and therapeutic products, please visit Professional Development Programs and Products on-line at: www.pdppro.com, contact us Toll Free at: 877-439-8865 or email: programs@pdppro.com. |

| Gravity and Movement Challenged: The Sensory-Motor-Vestibular Triad Dates = October 9-10, 2010 location = Charleston, SC. description = Speakers: Steven J. Cool, PhD, FAAO and Eileen W. Richter, MPH, OTR/L, FAOTA This course is offered for 1.2 AOTA and ASHA CEUs Description: Do you wonder if the vestibular and proprioceptive activities you use are optimally effective for a given child? Do you feel that equipment and/or environmental limitations prevent you from providing effective intervention? Can you formulate a developmentally sequenced intervention plan to meet a specific child’s individual ability level? Case examples and experiential learning will be used to address these questions. Content will include assessment options and a range of intervention strategies designed to foster improved integration of these systems for functional outcomes. This course will support participants in providing a more effective approach to the treatment of vestibular/proprioceptive/tactile processing dysfunction. The course will assist participants to hone their skills for observing the behavioral outcomes of vestibular and somatosensory processing (both ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal’). By applying, through clinical reasoning, an enhanced understanding of the neurobiological basis for such behavioral outcomes, participants will gain greater confidence and competence with sensory(- motor) integration treatment. Suggested Audience: OTs and PTs Tuition: $395 - Register by August 13th and save $30! Early registration, multiple course and group discounts are available.
