Advanced Therapy - Decoding Disordered Eating: From Diagnosis to Treatment (Project ECHO)
PRE-REGISTRATION IS OPEN - RESERVE YOUR SPOT TODAY! Overview
Do you recognize something is "off" about your clients' eating habits but don't feel confident diagnosing it as an Eating Disorder? Do you want to be able to bridge your approaches for other conditions with treating Eating Disorders? Do you want to build competence in assessing and treating Eating Disorder symptoms?
Eating disorders are complex conditions that can significantly impact physical health, psychological well-being, and social functioning. They affect individuals across all ages, genders, and backgrounds—and many go undetected for far too long.
This interactive, case-based, Project ECHO series is designed to empower any professional providing therapy to children/adolescents or young adults. You will gain the knowledge and skills needed to confidently assess, treat, and support individuals struggling with disordered eating. Through real-life case discussions, expert-led sessions, and practical tools you can use immediately, you’ll learn…

"Braking Bad": Eccentric Control from Talking to Walking Course
Target Audience for this Course
Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech Therapy
Overview
Eccentric muscle contractions are the brakes of the human movement system. Although there is yet little direct research on voicing eccentrics, preliminary data shows that glottal control is integral to upright postural control. Modulation of glottal constriction, such as during voicing, regulates intra-thoracic pressure, and by extension, intra-abdominal pressure, both of which are necessary for finely tuned postural control.
The speakers will present novel ideas on the role of eccentrics in trunk control from talking to walking. In the normal gait pattern, the majority of muscle contractions are eccentric, yielding remarkable efficiency: harnessing momentum and ground reaction forces to minimize the energy cost of walking. In individuals with neurological injuries, movement impairments impede the ability to generate eccentric contractions or to time muscle contractions correctly, yielding co-contraction and…
