Managing Medically Complex Children in a Mobile Physical Therapy Setting
Presented by Jennetta Spears, PT, DPT
Live WebinarThu, Aug 20, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #5538Level: Introductory2 Hours
This introductory course provides pediatric physical therapists with foundational knowledge and practical considerations for delivering physical therapy services to medically complex children in home and community-based settings. Clinicians will explore common medical conditions, equipment, and healthcare technologies encountered in mobile practice, including tracheostomies, ventilators, feeding tubes, orthotics, and positioning devices. The course will discuss safety considerations, caregiver collaboration, environmental adaptations, and strategies for integrating therapy into daily routines. Participants will gain increased confidence in evaluating, planning, and implementing physical therapy interventions for medically complex pediatric patients outside of traditional clinical settings.

Tracheostomy Fundamentals for Interprofessional Healthcare Providers
Presented by Carmin Bartow, MS, CCC-SLP
Live WebinarWed, Aug 26, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #5571Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This course provides healthcare professionals with a practical foundation in tracheostomy management. Content includes upper airway anatomy and physiology, physiologic changes associated with tracheostomy, tracheostomy tube types and components, and key aspects of care such as cuff management, humidification, secretion management, speaking valves, and safety considerations. This course is designed for an interprofessional audience and emphasizes collaborative strategies to support safe, coordinated care for patients with tracheostomy across settings.

The Discharge Function Score Measure: the Who, What, Where, How for PTs and OTs, and Why You Should Care
Presented by Ellen R. Strunk, PT, MS, GCS, FAPTA, ACEEAA, CHC, RAC-CT
Live WebinarThu, Aug 27, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #5536Level: Introductory2 Hours
In both skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and home health (HH), older adults rely on physical and occupational therapy to regain function. In 2024, CMS elevated the importance of functional outcomes by adopting the Discharge Function Score across the HH Expanded VBP Model, SNF QRP, and SNF VBP, directly tying payment to patient progress. This session gives PTs and OTs a clear, practical overview of the measure, how it is calculated, and why it matters. Attendees will learn actionable strategies for integrating the score into daily practice, strengthening documentation, and ensuring that each patient's functional gains are accurately captured. Participants will leave prepared to collaborate with their agencies and facilities to improve quality and performance, and to highlight the essential value of rehabilitation in post-acute care. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience.

Advanced Clinical Reasoning in Burn Wound Management
Presented by Jennifer Gardner-Harbison, PT, DPT, MHA, CWS
Live WebinarWed, Sep 2, 2026 at 6:00 pm EDT
Course: #5440Level: Advanced2 Hours
This 2-hour course equips therapists with advanced clinical reasoning skills for managing burn injuries across the continuum of care. Participants will apply evidence-based frameworks to assess burn depth, protect tissue perfusion, recognize infection, manage grafts, prevent contractures, and optimize functional outcomes. Through case studies and practical strategies, clinicians will learn how to integrate wound care principles with rehabilitation to improve mobility, healing, and long-term recovery to support daily activities, while collaborating effectively with the broader burn care team. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience

Evidence-Based Respiratory Muscle Training in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Presented by Douglas Eck, PT, DPT, NCS, MHI, ATP
Live WebinarThu, Sep 3, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #5487Level: 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.

The Science of Regulation: Bridging Brain, Body, and Function in Pediatric Therapy
Presented by Audrie Vantangoli, MOT, OTD, OTR/L
Live WebinarWed, Sep 9, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #5499Level: Introductory1 Hour
This training introduces participants to the foundations of self‑regulation and how the brain and body work together during moments of stress, frustration, or overwhelm that often impact functional performance. Through practical strategies, real‑life examples, and reflective activities, learners explore ways to implement interventions that support clients in managing emotional, behavioral, and sensory responses. The session emphasizes strengths‑based, trauma‑informed approaches that support resilience, flexible thinking, and effective participation across daily routines.

Evidence Based Testing and Prescription for Special Populations
Presented by Kala Markel, PT, DPT
Live WebinarThu, Sep 10, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #5455Level: Intermediate2 Hours
This 2-hour session reviews evidence-based approaches to testing and exercise prescription for special populations in rehabilitation practice. Participants will learn how to select appropriate measures, recognize precautions and contraindications, and apply safe, individualized exercise prescription principles across medically complex patient groups.
