While the primary goal of Intensive therapy is to teach new and lasting functional physical skills to children within this population, there are other benefits that are equally important to the child’s well being. As Intensive Pediatric PT has evolved we are recognizing additional benefits such as improved self-esteem and confidence as the body gets stronger. This presentation will provide definitions for European-inspired Intensive Pediatric PT, the benefits of this emerging therapy, explanations of the European-inspired concepts and tools used during an intensive PT session, and benefits beyond physical that are based on increased activity levels. The speaker, who is an expert in this emerging field of Intensive Pediatric Physical Therapy, will review the research and theories highlighting the need for Intensive Pediatric PT and provide compelling video samples of how this model of therapy is creating better outcomes for children at several levels.

Celebrating Christmas, birthdays and other milestones alongside elderly bedridden patients is the mainstay for thousands of children with a developmental disability throughout America. Award-winning filmmaker, Narcel Reedus, reveals the stories of children growing up without a childhood in the heart-felt documentary, "Not Home." Abilities Expo is pleased to screen a portion of this 99-minute film that examines the complex national phenomenon of children living in nursing homes and staterun institutions. Often times parents of medically-fragile children feel forced to make the decision to institutionalize their child because some states disproportionately allocate funding for brick and mortar institutions rather than the less expensive home and community based living. Time for questions and answers will be available following the session. Learn more at www.nothomedocumentary.com. A limited number of DVD's will be available for purchase following the screening. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 2:30pm – 3:30pm Pediatric Power Mobility: Functional Solutions for Kids – Workshop 2 K A Amy Morgan, PT, ATP, Pediatric & Standing Specialist, Permobil, Inc. When is the right time for power mobility? What are the benefits of providing access to power mobility early in a child’s life? This course will address these questions and help the audience understand and articulate a child’s skills and abilities, prior to prescribing a power wheelchair. Pediatric mobility issues can be extremely complex. It is important for members of the rehab team to differentiate between therapeutic mobility and functional mobility with all clients; but it is particularly important in the pediatric population. This session will discuss the various types of mobility assistive equipment (MAE) as they apply to pediatrics. Various wheelchair seat functions will also be explored regarding their effect on a child’s functional performance. Through the use of research and case studies, participants will learn the importance of a thorough subjective evaluation in addition to physical examination to determine the most appropriate mobility device for pediatric clients. Time will also be allotted for audience participation and discussion. 3:45pm – 4:45pm Thriving, Not Just Surviving, as the Parent of a Special Needs Child – Workshop 1 Karen Kain, Founder, Lorrin's World and Abilities Expo K A Ambassador Karen Kain, mother of Lorrin who was grievously vaccine injured in 1994, shares her story of how she went from being a broken-hearted, desperate mother who was isolated and alone to accepting, enjoying and even thriving as the parent of a unique child. Karen will tell the process that led her to a loving and fulfilling parenting experience, as she learned life lessons from Lorrin. Karen will describe how she found success in getting from despair to discovery to love of self. She brings you tips she learned from others along the way – parents, health-care workers, and more – along with discoveries of her own. If you are new to this journey, join Karen for this workshop to gain support and ideas for thriving in your new life.

This session is designed to help bring clarity through a fast-paced hour of realtime, rubber-meets-the-road information and training for you, the front line players caring for a person with mobility challenges. Bridging the gap between the intentions of clinicians and the day-to-day challenges faced by caregivers, this workshop will bring you a new perspective and practical tools to help achieve both comfort and therapeutic outcomes. Learn the basics of how the body actually “sits” properly, the most common “positioning” enemies of healthy sitting, strategies and creative ways to address specific challenges.
