SUMMARY:National Alliance on Mental Illness Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:“Building a Solid Foundation for Life”\n\nDr. Brian C. Miller\, Keynote Speaker. “Stronger in the Broken Places: Foundations of Wellness\n“Whether you are experiencing a serious mental illness\, or are a family member of someone who is; the foundation of wellness is realizing that it is possible even with symptoms\, even with problems\, even with an uncertain course. Everyone\, as Hemingway said\, is broken. But some of us get stronger in the broken places. This presentation will focus on what we know about the foundations for living well with a serious mental illness. Everything changes when we realize that what makes a life of wellness for a person with a mental illness is no different than what makes anyone’s life whole. The key is to avoid becoming hypnotized into focusing exclusively on the illness. And isn’t that what recovery is all about?” \nFor more details\, visit https://www.namiut.org/news-and-events/nami-utah-state-conference.

SUMMARY:Building Blocks for Sensory Integration - San Diego
DESCRIPTION:Join Sheila M. Frick\, OTR/L in this interactive workshop as she presents a comprehensive understanding of reflex integration and provides insight into the sensorimotor foundations that goes beyond activity programs. Through a combination of lecture and movement labs\, this course will outline how the primary movement patterns (reflexes) serve as a template for neurodevelopmental integration\, but also how to apply this information as a guide for more precise sensory and motor strategies to ultimately support functional outcomes. \nClick here to download the brochure. \n \nBuilding Blocks for Sensory Integration – San Diego

SUMMARY:A Clinicians Guide to Reducing Falls: Evidence-Based Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Click here to download the course brochure for more details.\nWhy Attend?\nOne third of all people over 65 living in the community fall each year.  This number increases to 50% in in-patient settings and skilled nursing facilities.  Fall-related injures leading to death\, hospitalization\, or treatment exceeds $111 billion annually.  Can clinicians provide treatment and education to clients to reduce to the risk of falls in the home\, community\, and clinical settings?  What research supports the role of therapy in fall reduction and what is their scope? How is the rise in genomic hypovitaminosis\, depression\, fear\, medication dosage\, and upper extremity weakness correlated to increased fall rates?  What are the latest hands-on and evidence based techniques and assessments that lead to fall reduction?    Are there fall reduction “programs” that are verified by research and if so what are they?  This intensive lab-based course will answer these questions and discuss the most advanced and reviewed strategies.  Demonstrations and labs will occur to ensure application of the material and immediate carry-over to the clinical setting.  This course will also discuss documentation techniques and examples to strongly justify the need for skilled services with this population in hospital\, in-patient\, acute\, home health\, and outpatient settings.  \nObjectives:\n\nIdentify the major contributors to falls and the most common environments where falls occur for the adult and geriatric population.\nIdentify the role of clinicians in fall prevention in various rehab settings\, the home\, and the community at large.\nIdentify the common principles in a fall reduction program leading to evidenced outcomes\nDevelop a practical understanding of learned exercises\, activities\, and a assessments during labs to ensure immediate carry-over into all clinical settings\nApply documentation strategies and language based on information provided in this course to justify skilled clinical services and reimbursement to all payer sources\n\nInstructional Methods\nWe will discuss the most current research explaining falls\, those at risk for falls\, and the power in fall prevention strategies. Demonstrations and labs will take place to ensure the attendees understand the techniques supported to assist with treating the adult and geriatric population.  In addition\, we will learn accepted language and documentation strategies accepted by payer sources and practice these documentation strategies with real-life examples and case studies. \n\nExploration of current trends\, demographics\, and statistics with high\, medium\, and low risk fall clients\nPhotographs\, videos\,  demonstrations\, and x-ray images will be used to increase participants’ understanding of interventions\nLab (completed by clinicians in small groups/partners)\nDocumentation examples\nCase study review \n\nCEU(s): 6 \nCEU Accreditation from UOTA \nPending Accreditation from UPTA \nRegistration\nPlease register by email: tkbrowno@hotmail.com \nOr text/call: 801-455-5482 \nInclude your name\, number\, email address\, and discipline when registering.  You will receive a confirmation email. \nPayment: Please bring cash or check to the course or pay via PayPal to the email listed above. \nSnacks/Beverages Provided

Assessment of Learning Outcomes Splinting Lab providing hands-on experience integrated with close supervision by instructor with discussion to confirm appropriate and accurate application of anatomical landmarks as required. Case study assessment along with interactive discussion specifically focused on the most commonly experienced issues related to the inaccurate use of anatomical landmarks. The instructor will confirm understanding of the above via verbal interaction\, offering feedback and correction as necessary. Attendees will demonstrate the ability to verbally explain the process of identifying at least one contributing factor to the splint/anatomical landmark issue being discussed as well as at least one method of intervention to correct the issue. The instructor will confirm understanding of the above via verbal interaction\, offering feedback and correction as necessary. Q and A session along with brief post-test period will be provided to allow the instructor to follow up and provide any additional information as deemed necessary. 2. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the properties of a range of splinting materials. Specific Outcome Goal: Attendees will demonstrate competency in the selection of appropriate splint material for specific diagnoses and understanding of splint material characteristics. Assessment of Learning Outcomes – Attendee will demonstrate ability to select and explain the necessity and purpose of no less than two splint materials for each of the splints fabricated in the Splint Lab. – Case studies will be used and include verbal discussion with attendees able to identify at least two corrective measures to optimize a splint that take into account the inherent properties of splinting materials. – Attendees will demonstrate the ability to verbally explain the handling characteristics of different splint materials\, how to properly prepare splinting materials\, and one appropriate splint type per material. The instructor will confirm understanding of the above via verbal interaction\, offering feedback and correction as necessary. – Q and A session along with brief post-test period will be provided to allow the instructor to follow up and provide any additional information as deemed necessary. 3. Demonstrate understanding of the splinting process\, including the use of patterns\, and design and fabrication of splints. Specific Outcome Goal: Attendees will demonstrate competency in the ability to identify and explain at least 3 steps in the splint fabrication process as well as at least one diagnostic and/or patient specific lifestyle consideration when selecting a specific splint pattern. Assessment of Learning Outcomes Case studies will be used and attendees will verbally identify at least one contributing diagnostic factor and at least one patient specific contributing factor that was considered in selecting the splint pattern for a splint they fabricated.
