Description

This two-day conference is coming back to engage and empower school-based therapists in the realm of occupational and physical therapy. With a focus on supporting therapists to refine, strengthen, and deepen implementation around evidence based-practices and current research, the conference sessions are specifically designed for school-based therapists.  This year, the conference will share practices, extend learning, build connections, and provide expertise from national and state-based experts, as well as provide therapists with meaningful specific-to-ND content. The topics include awareness of self in space, functionally assessing and treating vision, motor learning, supporting motor needs with goals, best practices for our state, and 504 plan information. We are excited to provide this conference with a variety of sessions that address and support the efforts and continuous improvement of work being done across the state. This is approved for 13 credits for ND OTs and PTs.
