Effective Partnering In Dementia Care: Reframing Behaviors
Presented by Laurie Walther, MS, CCC-SLP
Video
Course: #7121Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This course re-evaluates the common perception of “challenging behaviors” in those living with dementia by exploring root causes through a compassionate and an investigative lens.

Post-Myocardial Infarction: Tips And Tricks For The PT And OT Provider
Presented by Andrea Salzman, MS, PT
Video
Course: #7059Level: Intermediate2 Hours
This 2-hour webinar provides physical and occupational therapy practitioners with practical, evidence-based strategies for safely treating patients recovering from myocardial infarction. Designed for immediate clinical application, this course equips therapists with the essential knowledge needed to confidently progress activities, monitor patient safety, and facilitate return to daily function. Participants will learn to recognize appropriate activity parameters across different phases of cardiac rehabilitation, understand vital sign monitoring criteria for safe exercise prescription, and apply functional modifications that support patients' return to meaningful activities. The content emphasizes practical decision-making tools and patient education strategies that can be implemented immediately in clinical practice.

Obesity-Related Mobility Limitations: Tips And Tricks For The PT/OT Provider
Presented by Andrea Salzman, MS, PT
Live WebinarTue, Aug 4, 2026 at 6:00 pm EDT
Course: #7152Level: Introductory2 Hours
This 2-hour introductory webinar equips physical and occupational therapy providers with evidence-based strategies to effectively address mobility limitations in patients with obesity. Participants will learn practical, immediately applicable techniques for exercise prescription, environmental modifications, and patient-centered care approaches. The course covers the biomechanical and physiological factors affecting mobility in this population, evidence-based rehabilitation interventions, and clinical tips for creating safe, supportive treatment environments. Ideal for clinicians seeking to enhance their confidence and competence in treating patients with obesity-related functional limitations. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience.

Clinical Applications Of Durable Medical Equipment For Activities Of Daily Living
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ATP/SMS
Live WebinarThu, Aug 6, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #7155Level: Introductory1 Hour
Clients who use wheelchair seating and mobility equipment often have other durable medical equipment (DME) needs, as well. Durable medical equipment is typically used to assist activities of daily living and so clinicians are an active participant in selecting the appropriate equipment for a client’s needs. This course will address bath/shower equipment, toileting equipment, patient lifts, and adaptive car seats.

The Executive Brain: Support Strategies For Autism Spectrum Disorder And ADHD
Presented by Cara Koscinski, OTD, MOT, OTR/L, CAS
Video
Course: #7056Level: Intermediate2 Hours
This two-hour virtual course examines executive function through an interoception-informed, state-based lens, emphasizing that access to executive skills depends on nervous system readiness rather than motivation or compliance. Participants will explore how neurological up- and down-regulation influence executive access and how movement serves as a primary pathway for organizing state, supporting attention, and preparing the brain for cognitive demand. Using The Executive Function Express framework and its Move the Train to Build the Brain strategies, the course demonstrates how purposeful, developmentally appropriate movement can stabilize the “tracks” needed for planning, initiation, flexibility, and follow-through. A strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach is emphasized throughout, guiding participants to shift from behavior-focused interpretations to interventions that build capacity, access, and self-trust.

The Missing Rotation: How Movement Development Influences Participation Across Childhood
Presented by Cara Koscinski, OTD, MOT, OTR/L, CAS
Live WebinarTue, Aug 11, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #7057Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Movement development is not simply the acquisition of motor milestones. Children develop postural control, bilateral coordination, weight shifting, trunk mobility, and movement efficiency through opportunities to move, explore, and interact with their environments. While movement occurs across multiple planes, transverse-plane and rotational experiences are often overlooked despite their role in developing coordinated movement patterns. Reduced opportunities for varied movement experiences may contribute to challenges with crossing midline, bilateral coordination, motor planning, postural control, and participation in everyday activities. This intermediate-level course examines movement development from birth through childhood through the lens of movement variability, postural development, and functional participation. Participants will explore how movement experiences contribute to the development of foundational movement skills and how limitations in movement across planes may influence participation in learning, play, self-care, and other daily activities. Strategies for interdisciplinary observation, communication, and support planning will also be discussed. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience.

Foundations Of Power Mobility: Scooters To Power Wheelchairs
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ATP/SMS
Video
Course: #7047Level: Introductory1 Hour
Power wheelchairs are designed to provide independent and functional mobility for people unable to efficiently self-propel any type of manual wheelchair. This course will introduce power operated vehicles (scooters) and power wheelchairs, including features such as drive wheel configuration, power seating, and alternative driving methods.

Beyond The Basics: Precision Practice In The Classroom
Presented by Aditi Mehra, DHSc, OTR/L
Live WebinarThu, Aug 13, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #7128Level: Introductory2 Hours
This course takes a deeper dive into the practical skills school-based OTPs need to function confidently on educational teams. Participants will examine present levels, educational impact, IEP goal writing, service recommendations, data collection, progress monitoring, and collaborative decision-making. Emphasis is placed on writing participation-focused goals, aligning OT services with classroom routines, collaborating with teachers and related service providers, and communicating OT’s value clearly to administrators and families. Recent research supports stronger OT–teacher collaboration, embedded service models, and collaborative goal development rather than isolated discipline-specific practice.

Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT) And Occupational Therapy
Presented by Gina Taylor, MS, OTR/L, HPCS
Video
Course: #6992Level: Introductory1 Hour
As interest in psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) grows within mental health care, this introductory course, explicitly developed for OTPs, provides an overview of the basic phases of PAT and clarifies where occupational therapy skills may appropriately contribute outside of medication administration. Participants will review key legal considerations, explore the scope of practice, ethical boundaries, and foundational OT skills such as sensory aspects, occupational integration, and environmental concerns to support informed awareness and professional clarity.

Evidence-Based Management of Patients On GLP-1 Therapy: An OT Perspective
Presented by Scott Cheatham, PhD, DPT, OCS, ATC, CSCS
Live WebinarTue, Aug 18, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #7060Level: Intermediate1 Hour
The GLP-1 medications have become a popular treatment for individuals with type II diabetes or obesity. Healthcare professionals needs to understand these medications including the benefits, adverse effects, and contraindications. For some individuals, these medications can have consequence such as loss of lean mass loss which can affect their function, health, and longevity. This presentation will provide an evidence-based update of this topic as it applies to the occupational therapy practitioner.
