Managing Traumatic Brain Injury Through The Rancho Los Amigos Levels Of Cognitive Function
Presented by Christina Voigtmann, PT, DPT, NCS
Live WebinarTue, Jul 7, 2026 at 6:00 pm EDT
Course: #7072Level: Introductory2 Hours
This course will describe the Ranchos Los Amigos levels of cognitive function and how these may impact therapy interventions in each stage. Clinical strategies to help manage behaviors will be delineated along with progressions of therapeutic intervention to support function as individuals progress through the various stages of recovery from brain injury.

Chronic Pain Support For Children And Adolescents
Presented by Christina Marsack-Topolewski, PhD, LMSW
Live WebinarTue, Jul 14, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #7118Level: Introductory1 Hour
Children and adolescents with chronic pain often experience difficulties participating in daily occupations, including self-care, school, play, and social activities. Chronic pain can also be associated with co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, fatigue, and sleep disturbances, further impacting function. Occupational therapy practitioners play a key role in addressing these challenges through the use of interventions to support participation, manage symptoms, and improve overall quality of life. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience.

Elder Abuse: Not Just Physical, Consider Online Safety
Presented by Ingrid Provident, EdD, OTR/L, FAOTA
Live WebinarTue, Jul 21, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #7025Level: Introductory1 Hour
This presentation explores the rapidly evolving landscape of online risks that disproportionately affect older adults, including scams, misinformation, and privacy breaches. It provides senior therapy leaders with practical frameworks for educating patients, families, and staff about digital safety. Emphasis is placed on proactive prevention strategies and organizational policies that protect vulnerable seniors in increasingly digital care environments. Internet safety for seniors in residential settings has become a core patient safety and quality-of-care issue, not a peripheral technology concern. Older adults are disproportionately targeted by online fraud, identity theft, misinformation, and financial exploitation. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience.

Wearable Tech For Health Management In Autism And ADHD Across The Lifespan
Presented by Julia Colman, OTD, OTR/L, BCP, CCTS-I
Live WebinarThu, Jul 23, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #7067Level: Introductory1 Hour
One in five people is estimated to be neurodivergent, yet services across health, education, and community settings continue to struggle to meet their needs effectively. This continuing education lecture asks: what does it actually feel like to be autistic or have ADHD in a world designed for neurotypical processing, and how does that shape a person's capacity to manage their health, sustain medication routines, and access the self-care that underpins everything else? Beginning with therapy's unique contribution to understanding sensory processing, interoception, and self-regulation in neurodivergent individuals, the lecture builds a compelling case for why conventional approaches to medication management and health maintenance are often insufficient, and why wearable technologies represent a promising new frontier. Through interactive case studies spanning the lifespan, participants explore how specific devices can be purposefully matched to client profiles and occupational goals across medication adherence, physiological monitoring, and self-regulation support. Critically, the lecture addresses the practical and ethical considerations unique to neurodivergent populations. This course is designed for an interprofessional audience.

Understanding K-12 Systems: What Every OTP Should Know
Presented by Christina Marsack-Topolewski, PhD, LMSW
Live WebinarTue, Jul 28, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #7119Level: Introductory1 Hour
Occupational therapy practitioners frequently support children and families who are navigating educational challenges, school-based services, and special education systems. This training will provide a practical overview of K–12 supports, accommodations, and resources, while highlighting the OTP's role in collaborating with families and school teams. Participants will gain tools and strategies to help children and caregivers navigate, access, and advocate for school-based services and supports.

Schools 101: The OTP Starter Guide
Presented by Aditi Mehra, DHSc, OTR/L
Live WebinarThu, Jul 30, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #7127Level: Introductory2 Hours
This introductory course prepares occupational therapy practitioners who are new to school-based practice or transitioning from medical, outpatient, or pediatric clinic settings. Participants will learn the role of OT in schools, the difference between medical and educational models, workload versus caseload thinking, service delivery options, documentation expectations, and how to avoid being reduced to “the handwriting therapist.” Current evidence supports expanding school-based OT toward participation, inclusion, transition support, MTSS, and embedded collaborative models.

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.

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.

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.
