ICPN Professional Development Workshop: Mindfulness at the Movies
Presented by: Dr. John Pingo, BCBA-D, CEO Goldie B. Floberg
Apple, Google, Intel…what do these companies have in common besides being leaders in cutting edge technological innovation and having immense financial success? They have all bet big on mindfulness training programs. Why? Because mindfulness has been proven to help people better manage stress, improve memory and attention, and lead to improvements in work performance. Join Dr. John Pingo, BCBA-D, for a geek culture infused, interactive learning experience called Mindfulness at the Movies. Dr. Pingo uses sci-fi, superhero, and other nerd culture references to make the maze of mindfulness hype understandable and usable. You’ll learn how our brains have evolved to work against us and how to beat your brain at its own game using the basic skills associated with mindfulness.

Working Collaboratively with Health Care Professionals: How to get the most out of Medical & Psychiatric Consultations
Presented by Katherine Docter, SSP, BCBA/Clinical Supervisor
Often, when we take people with intellectual/developmental disabilities to medical or psychiatric consultations with health care professionals, we enter the appointment with big expectations. Sadly, when we leave, we often are left to feel dissatisfied with the outcome.
To get the most out of these appointments, we need to assist health care professionals by providing accurate data, communicating with clear expectations or concerns, providing knowledge and history of the person, and learn how to communicate effectively. Conveying the person’s story accurately to our health care professionals will better position them to make an accurate diagnosis and provide treatment options.
This workshop is intended to assist middle management with strategies on how to prepare for appointments well in advance by doing the following;
- Tracking data for target behaviors, medical symptoms, and mental health components
- Completing thorough case reviews to gain a better understanding of history and possible medical ailments to monitor or rule out
- Formulating questions/concerns to prepare in advance using collected data and case review strategies learned
Target Audience: staff and community members providing services to people with developmental/intellectual disabilities
