Interoception For The Older Adult
Presented by Ingrid Provident, EdD, OTR/L, FAOTA
Live WebinarTue, Aug 25, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT   Starts in 2h 10m
Course: #7024Level: Introductory1 Hour
Interoception, a key indicator of how we feel, can be broadly defined as the sensations arising from signals originating within the body. As such, interoception is critical for our sense of embodiment, motivation, and well-being. Despite its importance, interoception remains poorly understood within modern science. Interoceptive sensitivity has been found to be associated with affect and cognition. As a person ages, the processes by which one senses, interprets, integrates, and regulates signals from within oneself change. This presentation will overview Interoception, the perception and interpretation of internal body signals, such as heartbeat, hunger, and respiratory rate, and present evidence-based findings as to how this “sixth sense” impacts illness or health. Interoception serves as our internal barometer, guiding our responses to the environment based on our body’s needs and physiologic state. This course is designed for an interprofessional audience.

Promoting Regulation For All Students
Presented by Tere Bowen-Irish, OTR/L
Live WebinarThu, Aug 27, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #7078Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Self-regulation is an essential ability to navigating daily life, shifting, adjusting, and flowing. In the context of school-based intervention, we often address those students who are "over the top". But what about the other 95%? A therapist may often pick up subtle dysregulation cues that can escalate into behaviors that don't aid classroom access. This seminar is about foundational abilities, based on development and sometimes diagnosis, that may upset the flow of the classroom. Let's look at the unique consultative, point-of-performance, and classroom management ideas we can offer in a Tier 1 or Tier 2 approach. This course is for an interdisciplinary audience.

Maximizing Aquatic Equipment: Tools Of The Trade For OT And PT
Presented by Andrea Salzman, MS, PT
Live WebinarTue, Sep 1, 2026 at 6:00 pm EDT
Course: #7166Level: Intermediate2 Hours
This course examines clinical decision-making related to the selection, application, and progression of aquatic therapy equipment across rehabilitation populations and age groups. Content focuses on how commonly used tools—such as flotation devices, resistance equipment, mats, boards, and pool jets—alter support, resistance, instability, and sensory input to influence posture, balance, gait, and strength training. Participants will explore how aquatic equipment can be intentionally dosed and progressed to support therapeutic goals while maintaining patient safety and meaningful transfer to land-based interventions. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience.

Course: #7082Level: Introductory1 Hour
Occupational therapy practitioners have a distinct role in supporting people experiencing homelessness, which may occur across several homeless services and settings. This course will provide an overview of the occupational needs of adults experiencing homelessness and present OT-specific interventions to support the community living and occupational needs of this population. It will also address OT's role in an interdisciplinary team.

Cultural Contexts In Pediatric Feeding
Presented by Tara Konradi, OTD, OTR/L
Live WebinarTue, Sep 15, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #7098Level: Introductory1 Hour
Cultural Contexts in Pediatric Feeding is a continuing education course designed to help healthcare professionals apply culturally responsive clinical reasoning when supporting children and families with feeding concerns. The course explores how culture, family routines, food traditions, caregiver beliefs, access, sensory preferences, and participation demands shape pediatric feeding routines and intervention planning. Participants will learn to identify relevant contextual factors, distinguish culturally based feeding practices from clinical concerns, and develop family-centered recommendations that support safe, functional, respectful, and meaningful mealtime participation. The course also emphasizes the value of interprofessional collaboration in delivering culturally responsive, family-centered feeding services.

Flexibility Refined: Evidence-Based Updates For OTPs
Presented by Scott Cheatham, PhD, DPT, OCS, ATC, CSCS
Live WebinarThu, Sep 17, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #7061Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Over the past decade, there has been emerging research that provides new insight into flexibility training. Researchers have provided updated evidence on the efficacy of popular flexibility techniques such as static stretching, dynamic stretching, and self-myofascial rolling. This new evidence has created suggested guidelines for integrated pre-exercise warm-up, post-exercise cool-down, and dedicated flexibility training sessions. This presentation is for the occupational therapist who desires an evidence-based update on flexibility training.

Early Attachment: Impact on Maternal and Infant Health
Presented by Tahara Debarrows, MA, LMFT
Live WebinarTue, Oct 13, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #7031Level: Introductory1 Hour
Mother–infant bonding develops through everyday interactions, including feeding, soothing, bathing, dressing, play, and sleep routines. Therapy practitioners are uniquely positioned to support these relational experiences while addressing the sensory, environmental, functional, and occupational factors that influence caregiver and infant participation. This introductory course examines bonding, attachment, co-regulation, and co-occupations through a therapy lens. Participants will learn to recognize modifiable barriers and protective factors affecting the caregiver–infant relationship, observe the dyad within everyday occupations, identify when additional screening or referral may be appropriate, and apply attachment-informed, occupation-based strategies that support regulation, caregiver confidence, and opportunities for connection. This course is for an interprofessional audience.

Leveraging AI and Automation to Support Clinical Professionals

Course: #7193Level: Advanced1 Hour
This course equips interdisciplinary rehabilitation professionals with a practical, evidence-based framework for safely integrating Respiratory Muscle Strength Training (RMST) into Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) care. Dispelling historical concerns of "overwork weakness," the session explores how targeted Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST) preserves respiratory function, enhances swallow kinematics, and fortifies vital airway defense mechanisms without accelerating disease progression. Clinicians will bridge the gap between research and clinical application by mastering pressure-threshold device selection, resistance calibration, and the validated "Rule of Fives" dosing protocol. Ultimately, this course empowers therapists to confidently design, progress, and monitor home-based respiratory training programs that maximize patient independence and optimize long-term respiratory health. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience.
