Date
May 2, 2024 - May 3, 2024
Description
As healthcare providers wanting rapid results to help our patients, a synchronized team approach is the best way to achieve that. Helping patients often requires multiple specialists to work together for best outcomes. Our collaborative and methodical approach allows us to view the whole patient and implement comprehensive care. This approach provides more predictable results and outcomes, while navigating the topography of TOTs (Tethered Oral Tissues) in the healthcare community. See implementation of the E3 Model of Care® with patients (infant, child, and adult) on their journey from initial evaluation, education, and execution of a treatment plan. Real patients, real evaluations, real surgeries in this course!
Participants who complete the training in its entirety will be granted permission to use and display the “Plot the TOT” logo as a designation to the public of their completion of the training. Rules of appropriate use will be communicated after successful completion of the course.

SOFFI® Hybrid Expanded Course – Houston, Texas – Dr. Erin Ross
Presented by Feeding FUNdamentals, LLC
Date
May 2, 2024 - May 3, 2024
Description
SOFFI® is an integrated approach to supporting oral feeding in preterm and in medically complex infants. This Hybrid Expanded course includes both an online and a live, in-person portion, and provides the practitioner with evidence-based information regarding feeding development as well as assessment and intervention strategies. This course expands the time spent on assessment and intervention, using case studies and small group work. The Hybrid Expanded course consists of a total of twelve modules, with a 10-question quiz attached to each module. Each module has its own objectives, but the overall objectives of the certificate course are listed below. To become a SOFFI® Certified Professional and receive continuing education credits, you must complete both the Foundation (online) and Completion (in-person) portions. To complete the SOFFI® Hybrid Expanded Course Foundation, you will need to watch all eight modules, pass all eight quizzes and complete the course evaluation. All of these completion requirements (viewing the videos, completing quizzes and evaluation) must be finished no later than three days prior to the start of the live course. To complete the SOFFI® Hybrid Expanded Course Completion, you will attend the live two-day event, pass the four quizzes associated with these four modules, and complete the course evaluation. The quizzes and the evaluation must be completed within three days of the end of the live SOFFI® Hybrid Expanded Course Completion. Participants may not attend the SOFFI® Hybrid Expanded Course Completion if they have not completed the prerequisite Foundation portion. Continuing education hours will not be reported until both portions of the course are completed.

Functional outcomes are emphasized through targeted intervention strategies based on sensorimotor learning principles and consideration of neural plasticity. Problem areas include: airway (e.g., laryngomalacia, laryngeal cleft, vocal fold paralysis, tracheostomy/ventilator); GI tract (e.g., gastroesophageal reflux, eosinophilic esophagitis); nutrition/hydration; advancing feeding in NICU and beyond to include tongue & lip tie; tube feeding & weaning; barriers to oral feeding & intervention strategies with; picky/finicky eaters. Discussions will include the urgent need for specific measurable outcomes and pros/cons for varied frequency and intensity of direct and indirect interventions/therapies.

Breathe, Baby Breathe: Developmental Interventions for Infants with Tracheostomy Tubes
Presented by Education Resources, Inc.
Date
December 13, 2023 - December 13, 2025
Description
Advance your assessment, treatment, and outcomes for infants requiring a tracheostomy tube. Medical co-morbidities associated with infants requiring a tracheostomy tube, implications of the tracheostomy tube on oral feeding/motor development, integrating physical rehabilitation treatments and respiratory therapy interventions to maximize infant outcomes with oral feeding, motor development, and daily activities related to play skills will be discussed. Expand your practice by integrating evidence into your clinical decision-making including reading/interpreting vent settings during interventions for objective assessments of infants that are intubated or have tracheostomy tubes. Expanded lecture/lab section devoted to infants with tracheostomy tubes include oral motor, feeding interventions, postural control, manual cough facilitation, positioning/handling, integrating use of a one-way valve into treatment, weaning respiratory support, and durable medical equipment recommendations for infant/family in preparation for home discharge. This course will focus on infants up to 12 months corrected gestational age with information applicable to clinicians working in the NICU, PICU, transitional pediatric care, in-home therapy, early intervention, and outpatient clinics. Learning Objectives: 1. Differentiate medical pathology from normal development for infants requiring a tracheostomy tube. 2. Determine how the placement of a tracheostomy tube influences the development of oral feeding and postural control skills. 3. Identify three risk factors for feeding dysfunction associated with oral feeding an infant with a tracheostomy. 4. Apply at least two feeding strategies for infants requiring a tracheostomy tube to improve sensory and motor performance with oral feeding. 5. Apply at least two postural control strategies for infants with a tracheostomy tube to improve their ability to utilize vocal cord movement to enhance their cough, phonation, and gross motor movement. 6. Choose an individualized care plan for an infant using the provided case study with tracheostomy tubes for improved outcomes with oral feeding, cough facilitation, motor control, and phonation.
