Anjanette Lee Presents New “Neonatal Therapy – Establishing Skills for Independent Practice”

Introducing a new, 4-part CEU series focused on Neonatal Therapy.

ERI is excited to announce that neonatal expert Anjanette Lee will be presenting a new 4-part series on Neonatal Therapy. These parts can be taken sequentially, or as stand alone courses. Parts 1 and 2 are scheduled to run in September through November, 2023, with Parts 3 and 4 to follow in spring 2024. All will be delivered via live webinar.

This 4-part series will be perfect for NTs studying for the Neonatal Therapy Certificate Exam and for those beginning to establish competency by 1) laying a foundation of fundamental knowledge, 2) closing gaps within core competencies, and 3) assuring both fundamental knowledge and core competency knowledge are applied during NICU interventions.

What do each of the four parts cover?

PART 1:
In Part 1 of this beginner to intermediate course, you will learn foundational knowledge pertaining to the philosophical and structural framework supporting neonatal therapy, the impact of the environment on the developing neonate and family, and the body system dynamics that influence the neonate’s development and the neonatal therapist’s supportive interventions.

PART 2:
In Part 2 of this beginner to intermediate course, you will learn foundational knowledge pertaining to both the maternal and neonatal medical histories, medical and neonatal therapy equipment, and neonatal therapy assessment tools.

PART 3:
In Part 3 of this beginner to intermediate course, you will take an in-depth dive into the knowledge and integration of skills needed for independent practice in neonatal therapy, covering micro- and macro-environments, family support, the sensory system, and the neurobehavioral system.

PART 4:
In Part 4 of this beginner to intermediate course, you will take an in-depth dive into the knowledge and integration of skills needed for independent practice in neonatal therapy, covering oral feeding and swallowing and the neuromotor & musculoskeletal systems.

Do I need to attend the entire 4-part series for credit?

No! The beauty of this series is that participants can pick and choose which part(s) they want to attend. Choose to attend only 1 part or all 4 parts – totally up to you.

Part 1 will be offered on the following dates:

Part 2 will be offered on the following dates:

Parts 3 and 4 will be offered in the spring of 2024 with more details to follow. Save when you register for Parts 1 and 2 together! A discounted rate is available for those who register for both Parts 1 and 2.

Cindy Miles Adaptive Fund

ERI is happy to share news of a new fund set up to honor the life and work of Cindy Miles, PT, PhD, PCS. Established in 2023 by her family and friends, the Cindy Miles Adaptive Fund provides grants to local organizations that promote active inclusion for children and families of all abilities.

For nearly 20 years, Cindy was an engaging instructor at ERI, energetically presenting the latest research to improve evaluation and treatment skills for Torticollis and Plagiocephaly among her course participants. She is missed in the physical therapy community.

Cindy sharing her knowledge and passion at an ERI course

Cindy’s positive impact on the lives of children and families was immense. Whether you took one of Cindy’s ERI courses or had the chance to meet her, you would probably agree that Cindy’s dedication to supporting children and families was inspirational and her positive attitude was infectious.

Her family and friends are honoring Cindy by building an inclusive playground in Whitehall, PA, where Cindy practiced for 30 years. If you’d like to learn more and support this initiative, please follow CMAF on Facebook

ERI is happy to continue her vision of fun and fitness for all abilities by supporting the Cindy Miles Adaptive Fund.
