PROGRAM PURPOSE

The purpose of these lectures is to teach appropriate, comprehensive, compassionate family focused and culturally competent medical care for patients with developmental behavioral and educational challenges. Through disease state education, physicians will feel more comfortable with the presenting conditions and will be able to incorporate evidenced based care, medical treatments and “caring” for those with these conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder in children and adults and  ADHD.

Almost by definition these conditions require collaboration with providers outside of the traditional office setting including psychologists, school personnel, speech and occupational therapists. The physician's role in being able to provide a medical home for those patients and in be being able to communicate with entire team will be emphasized. The same principles hold true in being able to collaborate with the multiple medical specialists so often seeing the patient, for example, the children with ASD who have severe gastrointestinal challenges along with seizures.

Children with developmental disabilities represent a diverse population with a variety of causes, a variety of conditions and a wide range of developmental, behavioral and medical manifestations. The care of children with developmental disabilities, therefore, requires an appreciation of the complexities of diagnosis, and management involving medical care, promotion of optimal development and education, and attention to social, emotional, environmental and economic factors that influence the children, the family and the community.

This series of lectures will provide for the audience a framework for understanding the complex set of conditions characterized as developmental disabilities. In addition, there will be an orientation to the genetic and environmental factors that result in developmental disabilities and we will offer strategies for addressing these challenges to promote optimal health and well being for the children.
Topics:
  • Introduction to Developmental Disabilities
  • Prematurity and its Consequences
  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Children’s Environmental Health
  • Environmental Health Disparities
  • Environmental Influences on Fetal Growth and Development
  • Medical Care for Children and Adults with Developmental Disabilities
  • Autism in Children and Adolescents
  • Autism in Adulthood
  • ADHD in Children and Adolescents
  • ADHD in Adulthood
  • Anxiety Disorders in Children

Objectives:
  • Orientation to the Course - need to understand the context of developmental disabilities in children
  • Prenatal factors - important to appreciate the vulnerability of the fetus to prenatal influences and exposures
  • Premature infants are vulnerable to CNS insults which result in developmental disabilities - need to appreciate the improved knowledge
  • Cerebral palsy is the prototype of a motor disability- need to understand the complexities in presentation and management
  • Children are uniquely vulnerable to environmental factors- need to appreciate and understand both positive and negative
  • Children who grow up in circumstances of social and economic disadvantage - these children are more vulnerable
  • Children who have developmental disabilities are more likely to have associated medical problems and we need to be aware of them, in order to to identify and treat them
  • Identify common medical problems co-occurring with autism
  • Identify the challenges that adults with autism encounter
  • Implement screening and treatment programs in ADHD
  • Screen for adults with ADHD in their practices
  • Have an improved understanding of the way anxiety disorders manifest in children

PORTS OF CALL

Venice, Italy

Zadar, Croatia

Zadar offers a compelling slice of Dalmatian life, distinct from its more famous neighbors. Its charm lies not in overwhelming monuments but in a rich history seamlessly blended with innovative public art. The city's heart is its compact, marble-paved Old Town, a peninsula filled with Roman ruins, medieval churches, and lively cafes.

The main draw is the magnificent seaside promenade, the Riva. Here you'll find Zadar's two most unique attractions. The Sea Organ is an architectural sound art object; listen as the waves push air through underwater pipes, creating a hauntingly beautiful, ever-changing melody. Steps away, the Greeting to the Sun is a massive, sun-powered glass disc that absorbs solar energy during the day to create a dazzling light show after sunset—a fascinating piece of engineering even in daylight.

Beyond the modern marvels, delve into history at the Roman Forum, the largest on the eastern Adriatic coast. Admire the iconic 9th-century St. Donatus Church, a circular pre-Romanesque masterpiece, and consider climbing the bell tower of the adjacent St. Anastasia's Cathedral for panoramic views of the red-tiled roofs and the shimmering archipelago.

The Old Town is easily explored on foot. Wander its narrow streets, discover hidden courtyards, and enjoy a coffee on the bustling People's Square (Narodni Trg). While the famous Krka and Plitvice Lakes national parks are in the region, reaching them requires a full-day commitment and is best done via a structured excursion due to the travel time. For a day in port, Zadar's peninsular core offers more than enough to create a memorable and relaxed Croatian experience.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik is not merely a backdrop; it is a complete, immersive historical experience. The moment you see the formidable stone walls rising from the Adriatic, you understand its acclaim as the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic.’ The main cruise port at Gruž is a short bus or taxi ride from the Pile Gate, the primary entrance to the pedestrian-only Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Once inside, the city unfolds along the Stradun, a wide, limestone-paved thoroughfare. While it’s tempting to follow the crowds to landmarks like the Rector’s Palace or the Franciscan Monastery, the real magic lies in exploring the labyrinth of narrow side streets and quiet courtyards. Two experiences, however, are truly essential for a day visit.

First, walk the city walls. We recommend going as early as possible or later in the afternoon to avoid the intense midday sun and the peak crowds that can make the circuit feel congested. The two-kilometer loop provides unparalleled, evolving views of the terracotta rooftops, the shimmering sea, and the nearby islands. Second, take the cable car to the summit of Mount Srđ. The panoramic vista from the top puts the city's magnificent geography into perspective and is unforgettable.

For a more active perspective, a sea kayaking tour offers a unique view of the city's scale from the water. While its recent screen fame is a popular draw, Dubrovnik’s true identity is that of the resilient Republic of Ragusa, a maritime power that has been meticulously restored. It is a world-class destination where strategic timing is the key to fully appreciating its splendor.

At Sea - Cruising

Catania, Sicily, Italy

Valletta, Malta

Sailing into Valletta’s Grand Harbour is one of the most dramatic arrivals in the Mediterranean. You are immediately enveloped by immense, honey-colored limestone fortifications rising from the sea—a fitting introduction to a city built by the Knights of St. John that is itself a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The city is a compact, walkable grid, making it ideal for a day of exploration. The primary destination for most is St. John's Co-Cathedral. Its austere façade belies a jaw-dropping interior of High Baroque opulence, with every surface covered in intricate carvings, gold leaf, and marble. The cathedral’s true masterpiece is Caravaggio’s monumental painting, “The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist,” a profoundly moving work that is worth the visit alone.

For the best views, head to the Upper Barrakka Gardens, which offer a stunning panorama of the Grand Harbour and the historic Three Cities across the water. Time your visit for the daily cannon firing from the Saluting Battery below. Beyond the major sites, the real joy of Valletta is in wandering its streets, admiring the traditional enclosed wooden balconies (*gallariji*), and perhaps stopping for a *pastizz*—a flaky, savory pastry filled with ricotta or peas.

For those seeking a quieter, medieval atmosphere, a taxi ride to the fortified city of Mdina is a worthwhile alternative. Known as the “Silent City,” its labyrinthine alleys and noble palaces offer a peaceful contrast to the energy of the capital.

Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain

Valencia, Spain

Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona greets you with a vibrant energy, a city where the fantastical architecture of Catalan Modernisme coexists with the shadows of a deep Gothic past. Your day here is a study in captivating contrasts. The undeniable centerpiece is Antoni Gaudí's magnum opus, La Sagrada Familia. This basilica, a century-and-a-half in the making, is a breathtaking testament to faith and architectural genius that must be experienced from within to be truly understood. For more of Gaudí's dream-like vision, a stroll along the elegant Passeig de Gràcia reveals Casa Batlló, a residence seemingly sculpted from bone and mosaic.

Alternatively, lose yourself in the Barri Gòtic (Gothic Quarter), a medieval labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets opening onto sunlit plazas. Here, the serene Cathedral of Barcelona offers a tranquil counterpoint to Gaudí's exuberance. This historic heart of the city is also a hub for unique boutiques and artisan shops. For a sensory immersion into local life, navigate the famed Las Ramblas to the Mercat de la Boqueria, a kaleidoscope of fresh produce, cured meats, and bustling food stalls.

Art aficionados can delve into the formative years of a master at the Museu Picasso, housed in a series of medieval palaces. No visit is complete without indulging in the city's culinary scene. Duck into a neighborhood bar for authentic tapas and a glass of cava, savoring the flavors that define Catalan culture. While one day is merely an introduction, it’s enough to be thoroughly enchanted by Barcelona's artistic soul and zest for life.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

  • A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
  • Your parent or child requires hospitalization
  • You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
  • You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
  • A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

  • You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
  • A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
  • A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

  • You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
  • You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
  • You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION

Arranges and pays for medically necessary transportation following a covered injury or illness to the nearest appropriate medical facility to receive care and get you home after treatment.

BAGGAGE LOSS, DAMAGE, or THEFT

Reimburses the replacement of your lost, damaged, or stolen luggage and personal items while traveling.

BAGGAGE DELAY

Reimburses essential items purchased during your trip if your baggage is delayed for a minimum number of hours (varies by plan).

CHANGE FEE

Reimburses fees if you need to change your flight itinerary due to a covered reason.
