Taping For The Upper Extremity
Presented by Alex Siyufy, PT, DPT, SCS, ATC, Cert. MDT, CPAM, Cert. DN, SFMA
Live WebinarThu, May 14, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #7020Level: Introductory2 Hours
This course provides a practical, evidence-informed overview of therapeutic taping, including traditional rigid (inelastic) methods (e.g., McConnell-style techniques) and elastic kinesiology taping for common clinical goals such as unloading (deloading), facilitation, and inhibition to support participation in daily activities. Participants will review the current research base with a focused emphasis on cervical spine and upper extremity applications, including conditions such as lateral epicondylitis, upper crossed syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, rib fractures, and myofascial trigger points. Designed for both taping newcomers and experienced clinicians, the course covers foundational application skills alongside up-to-date parameters and strategy selection based on recent literature.

Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT) And Occupational Therapy
Presented by Gina Taylor, MS, OTR/L, HPCS
Live WebinarThu, May 21, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
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.

Dressing And Sensory Over-Responsivity: A Guide For OTPs
Presented by Kathryn Hamlin-Pacheco, MS, OTR/L, ASDCS
VideoText
Course: #6921Level: Introductory1 Hour
Many children have dressing challenges due to tactile defensiveness, with morning meltdowns, refusals, and a wardrobe that is limited to a few items. Tagless clothing and seamless fabrics offer adaptive ways to wear clothing, but how can we support these kids in actually improving their ability to wear clothing successfully? This course applies neuroscience and outlines eight approaches to support children in understanding the feeling of clothing and wearing them successfully.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome: What Occupational Therapy Practitioners Should Know!
Presented by Scott Cheatham, PhD, DPT, OCS, ATC, CSCS
VideoText
Course: #6959Level: Intermediate2 Hours
Postural orthostatic hypotension syndrome (POTS) is an autonomic dysregulation condition characterized by excessive tachycardia upon standing in the presence of orthostatic intolerance. POTS is becoming more recognized across populations, including active individuals and athletes. The occupational therapy practitioner needs to have a comprehensive understanding of the recognition and management of this condition. This discussion covers the latest research and management strategies on this emerging topic.

Foundations Of Power Mobility: Scooters To Power Wheelchairs
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ATP/SMS
Live WebinarTue, May 26, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
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.

The Executive Brain: Support Strategies For Autism Spectrum Disorder And ADHD
Presented by Cara Koscinski, OTD, MOT, OTR/L, CAS
Live WebinarThu, May 28, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
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.

Visual Perceptual Motor Supports For Handwriting Development
Presented by Kristen Tompkins, OTR/L
Video
Course: #6919Level: Introductory2 Hours
This course/lecture will examine underlying visual perceptual motor issues that impact student acquisition of efficient, effective, and legible handwriting skills. Treatment strategies will be provided for therapist use, whether in direct therapy sessions or in consultation with parents and teachers.

Post-Myocardial Infarction: Tips And Tricks For The PT And OT Provider
Presented by Andrea Salzman, MS, PT
Live WebinarTue, Jun 2, 2026 at 6:00 pm EDT
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.

Stroke Rehabilitation: Vagus Nerve Stimulation And Virtual And Augmented Reality
Presented by Tina Dimopoulos, OTD, OTR/L, CHT, STOTT PILATES® Certified Instructor for Mat and Reformer
VideoText
Course: #6927Level: Introductory1 Hour
This course explores evidence-based approaches in stroke rehabilitation, with a focus on emerging areas such as vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) and virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR). Participants will learn current research, clinical application, and therapeutic approaches related to these interventions. Emphasis will be placed on integrating these innovative areas into client-centered, occupation-based practice to enhance motor recovery and neuroplasticity for optimal functional return.

Emotional Intelligence In Healthcare: Driving High-Quality Care And Team Performance
Presented by Robin Arthur, PsyD
VideoText
Course: #9655Level: Introductory1.5 Hours
This course extends beyond technical skills to examine the profound impact of emotional intelligence (EI) on healthcare professionals. It covers the five core domains of EI and how they directly influence patient outcomes, team collaboration, and stress resilience. In addition, evidence-based strategies are presented to enable course participants to enhance their own EI, improve clinical effectiveness, and enhance leadership capabilities in busy healthcare settings.
