hosted byEducation Resources, Inc. (ERI)Best Practices for PTs and OTs when Evaluating and Treating Students with Complex Disabilities-Live Webinar-Four Sessions is organized by Education Resources, Inc. (ERI) and will be held on March 4, 6, 11 and 13, 2024. This course has been approved for a maximum of 12 Contact Hours (1.2 CEUs).
Course Description
Learn to apply evidence-based, school-based practices to the severely involved and medically complex child using a “problem-based learning or PBL” approach. Participants are encouraged to provide actual cases for the PBL series.
This course will provide the school-based practitioner the opportunity to learn and apply an evidenced-based framework to support educationally relevant and necessary decision-making in school-based practice. Participants are provided practice tools to facilitate case organization and their clinical reasoning. The series will facilitate participants to develop their own clinical reasoning skills and apply assessment, IEP documentation, and intervention strategies including assistive technology, data collection, and dosing concepts to meet the needs of the medically complex student. The importance of developing collaboration and coaching skills will be stressed. Participants will work individually and with other participants to enhance their learning and ability to apply the content to their own students.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this seminar, participants will be able to:
- Describe the frameworks of practice used in school occupational and physical therapy practice and applicability to the severely involved and/or medically complex student.
- Apply a top-down and ecological approach to the school-based assessment in the severely involved and/or medically complex student.
- Distinguish between three different service models used in school practice.
- Analyze student-specific needs to apply appropriate intervention strategies for the severely involved and/or medically complex student across academic and non-academic settings.
- Determine appropriate school-based dosing for the severely involved and/or medically complex student using a multi-factor approach in 2 case studies.
- Construct 1-2 goals and related objectives that support data collection with fidelity to distinct, evidence-based approaches for the severely involved and/or medically complex student.
