Cannabis: Implications For Physical And Occupational Therapy
Presented by Melissa Bednarek, PT, DPT, PhD, CCS
Live WebinarTue, Apr 7, 2026 at 7:00 pm EDT
Course: #6974Level: Introductory2 Hours
Cannabis can be confusing: the different names, routes of administration, physiological effects, and legal aspects. This course will address all of these topics with a focus on implications for physical and occupational therapy.

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI): Assessment and Treatment
Presented by Kim McCullough, PhD, CCC-SLP
VideoAudio
Course: #6960Level: Introductory1 Hour
Increasingly, therapy professionals are serving individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). This session focuses on defining MCI, best practice guidelines for MCI assessment, and best practice guidelines for MCI intervention.

Prenatal Preventative Measures For De Quervain's Tenosynovitis
Presented by Tina Dimopoulos, OTD, OTR/L, CHT, STOTT PILATES® Certified Instructor for Mat and Reformer
Video
Course: #6937Level: Introductory1 Hour
This course intends to provide therapy practitioners with evidence-based strategies related to the prevention and management of De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis, a repetitive stress condition of the distal wrist/thumb commonly known as “Mommy’s Thumb”. The course will emphasize understanding key risk factors during the prenatal and postpartum periods and implementing preventative interventions to reduce the likelihood of onset or exacerbation of the condition. Participants will learn ergonomic principles, joint protection techniques, and client education strategies to reduce strain and support functional hand use. The course highlights the occupational therapist’s role in preventing upper extremity overuse injury among new and expectant parents.

Priming To Maximize Outcomes In Neurorehabilitation
Presented by Rebecca Martin, OTR/L, OTD, CPAM, CKTP
Video
Course: #6928Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This course will discuss the scientific justifications for, modalities to implement, and treatment planning around priming activities for best outcomes in neurorehabilitation. Applicable to diagnoses of the central nervous system, the learner will benefit from some basic understanding of neurological disease and dysfunction.

Blood Flow Restriction Therapy In Rehabilitation: Physiological Mechanisms, Clinical Applications, And Safety Considerations For OT/PT Practice
Presented by Rina Pandya, PT. DPT, FHEA, PGLTHE
Video
Course: #6940Level: Intermediate3 Hours
This course examines the theory and practice of Blood Flow Restriction Therapy (BFRT). Participants will study the physiological mechanisms, application techniques, and clinical reasoning required for its proper use. The curriculum covers the implementation of BFRT for a range of goals—including strength, hypertrophy, aerobic conditioning, and rehabilitation—while focusing on essential safety protocols, contraindications, and vascular risk mitigation.

Bridging The Gap: Occupational Therapy In Cystic Fibrosis
Presented by Madeline Johnson, OTD/S, BS Psychology, Allie Turner, OTD, OTR/L, CKTP, CEIM
VideoText
Course: #7014Level: Introductory1 Hour
Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) may experience challenges that limit participation in meaningful occupations throughout the lifespan. These barriers highlight the need for the holistic and client-centered care that occupational therapy (OT) can offer to support the quality of life across the lifespan. Within the hour of the session, participants will examine deficits and limitations in development, physical health, cognition, psychosocial health and motivation, and nutrition during pediatrics, adulthood, and in palliative care. This evidence-based session will prepare participants to advocate for the integration of OT services to improve the quality of life of individuals with CF.

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.

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.

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.
