Chronic Pain Support For Children And Adolescents
Presented by Christina Marsack-Topolewski, PhD, LMSW
Video
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.

Obesity-Related Mobility Limitations: Tips And Tricks For The PT/OT Provider

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.

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.

Tracheostomy Fundamentals For Interprofessional Healthcare Providers

Interoception For The Older Adult
Presented by Ingrid Provident, EdD, OTR/L, FAOTA
Live WebinarTue, Aug 25, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
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.
