Clinical Applications of Durable Medical Equipment for Activities of Daily Living
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS
Live WebinarWed, Jun 3, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #5460Level: Introductory1 Hour
Clients who use wheelchair seating and mobility equipment often have other durable medical equipment (DME) needs, as well. Durable medical equipment is typically used to assist activities of daily living and so clinicians are an active participant in selecting the appropriate equipment for a client’s needs. This course will address bath/shower equipment, toileting equipment, patient lifts, and adaptive car seats.

The Role of PT in Treating the Cardiac Patient in the Home
Presented by Kala Markel, PT, DPT
Live WebinarWed, Jun 10, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #5454Level: Intermediate2 Hours
This 2‑hour webinar is designed to equip home health PTs and PTAs with practical skills to manage adults recovering from CABG, valve surgery, MI/stent, and heart failure in the home setting. Participants will review typical post‑hospital recovery trajectories, learn to perform focused cardiac assessments (including vitals, orthostatics, and symptom monitoring), and apply clear red‑flag criteria to guide safe “go/no‑go” decisions in non‑monitored environments. The course emphasizes designing and progressing symptom‑limited exercise and functional mobility programs using tools such as RPE, talk test, and functional outcome measures, while integrating patient and caregiver education on daily self‑monitoring, pacing, and lifestyle strategies to support cardiac stability and reduce readmissions.

The Therapy Role In Trauma-Responsive Pediatric Practice
Presented by Audrie Vantangoli, MOT, OTD, OTR/L
Live WebinarThu, Jun 11, 2026 at 6:00 pm EDT
Course: #5498Level: Introductory1 Hour
Therapists are at the forefront of trauma and self-regulation; however, therapists are not always the first line of defense when developing plans related to behavioral interventions within the pediatric setting. Trauma can significantly affect a child's development and skill mastery. In order to promote participation in meaningful activities, therapists must focus on building consistent trauma-informed practices to rebuild a sense of perceived safety. This course discusses the essential needs for incorporating trauma-informed care when working with the pediatric population.

Working With ASL Interpreters, in Partnership With RIT/National Technical Institute for the Deaf
Presented by Vanessa Murphy, Au.D., CCC-A
Live WebinarWed, Jun 17, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #5517Level: Introductory1 Hour
This course focuses on a culturally sensitive approach to working with ASL interpreters and deaf and hard-of-hearing patients as a healthcare provider.

Obesity-Related Mobility Limitations: Tips and Tricks for the PT/OT Provider
Presented by Andrea Salzman, MS, PT
Live WebinarThu, Jun 25, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #5443Level: 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.

Acute SCI Management: What to Do and Why It Matters
Presented by Allyson Muehlemann, PT, DPT, EdD, NCS
Live WebinarWed, Jul 1, 2026 at 6:00 pm EDT
Course: #5442Level: Advanced3 Hours
Acute spinal cord injury (SCI) is clinically complex and often unpredictable, with patients presenting as medically fragile and at high risk for secondary complications. In this environment, physical therapists are required to make rapid, high-stakes decisions while balancing safety, recovery potential, and medical stability. This course introduces a practical clinical framework designed to guide prioritization of assessment and intervention in the acute phase of SCI. The focus is on helping clinicians identify what matters most, when it matters most, in order to support safe progression of mobility and recovery. Emphasis is placed on managing common acute challenges such as respiratory compromise, cardiovascular instability, autonomic dysfunction, and immobility-related complications. Participants will learn how to structure evaluation and treatment strategies that are both efficient and purposeful within medically complex presentations. Ultimately, this framework is designed to support clinicians in preparing patients for the next phase of rehabilitation by optimizing early decision-making, maximizing functional potential, and reducing preventable secondary complications.

Lipedema: What Physical Therapists Need to Know
Presented by Courtney Mascio, OT/L, CLT
Live WebinarThu, Jul 9, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #5523Level: Introductory1 Hour
This presentation equips physical therapists with a comprehensive understanding of lipedema, including its underlying pathology, diagnostic criteria, staging, and types, and how to distinguish it from obesity and lymphedema. It also explores the patient experience and reviews both conservative and surgical treatment approaches, emphasizing the role of multidisciplinary care and appropriate referrals.

Maximizing Aquatic Equipment: Tools of the Trade for OT and PT
Presented by Andrea Salzman, MS, PT
Live WebinarThu, Jul 23, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #5444Level: 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.

Pediatric Bilingual-Learner Primer For Therapists
Presented by Tara Konradi, OTD, OTR/L
