Robert (Bobby) Hand, board-certified clinical specialist in neurologic physical therapy, multiple sclerosis certified specialist, and ERI faculty member, will offer a new course, “Rehabilitative Management of Patients with Neurodegenerative Conditions.” This course will improve clinician skills from diagnosis through late-stage management of progressive conditions like Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Huntington’s disease.

As therapists, we know that rehabilitation professionals play a crucial role in the treatment of neurodegenerative conditions. But how do therapists set appropriate goals and apply interventions when treating conditions that present individuals with new, often worsening, impairments? Bobby will answer that question by drawing on his professional and personal expertise, and through evidence-based techniques, literature review, video case studies, and group discussion.

“Rehabilitative Management of Patients with Neurodegenerative Conditions” is being offered in Texas, California, Pennsylvania, and Washington D.C. Register today to improve your understanding of diagnoses, pathologies, and medical management of patients battling neurodegenerative diseases.

When it comes to treating young children with complicated developmental challenges, too often it is hard to know where to begin. That is why ERI is excited to welcome Kim Westhoff, OTR/L, C/NDT, and introduce her new class “Integrating NDT, SI, and Motor Learning Perspectives in Pediatrics.”

A Pediatric OT instructor for NDTA and active member of the NDTA Instructor Group, Kim is truly passionate about her field. She knows “where to start” and how to design, implement, and execute treatment plans to help young children with neurodevelopmental, sensory, and motor learning disabilities and she wants to share her knowledge with you!

If you’re a therapist in a clinic, school, home-based, community-based, or hospital in or out-patient setting, Kim’s hands-on approach will help improve your clinical thinking skills and offer practical concepts and intervention approaches that can be easily and quickly applied to your practice.

We’re hoping Kim can assist as many therapists as possible so we are offering her course in three popular areas of the country – Texas, New Jersey and California.

Register for ““Integrating NDT, SI, and Motor Learning Perspectives in Pediatrics” today!

Happy New Year!

2018 was quite a year for us here at ERI – we were busy coordinating nearly 300 courses both online and in rehab facilities across 35 states, with nearly 10,000 clinicians in attendance! Our 19^th Annual Therapies in the Schools took place in November and was a huge success with more than 300 people in attendance – in fact, many participants told us this year’s conference was “the best Therapies Conference” to date!

We welcomed faculty members Melissa Gerber, Rhonda Mattingly, Robin Glass, Lynn Wolf, Holly Schifsky, and Jocelynn Wallach who taught numerous OT, PT and SLP courses across the country throughout the year.

We were also busy behind the scenes in our Medfield, Mass. office welcoming three new employees; Carolyn Cwalinski, Lauren Offringa, and Catherine Troutman. Both Carolyn and Lauren bring their clinical expertise to help improve ERI offerings, work with speakers, and offer guidance to clinicians, while Catherine will assist with marketing and communication efforts.

Yes, 2018 was busy – but wait until you see what we have in store for 2019:

This year, ERI will help clinicians bring their practice to the next level by offering innovative classes and courses at online and at first-rate facilities across the country.

Once again, we are partnering with renowned experts in the OT, PT, and SLP field including Inger Brueckner, Richard Clendaniel, and Mary Massery.  We are also welcoming new, engaging faculty members including Colleen Carey, Robert Hand, Robyn Ligotti, Kimberly Miczak, Siobhan O’Donnell, Andrew Packel, Elizabeth Sauter, Pat Tino, and Kim Westhoff.

You’ll notice ERI’s new look this year with new branding and an updated and intuitive website that makes it even easier to find and register for ERI classes. Stay tuned!

Looking back, 2018 was an impressive year at ERI, and we are excited to welcome 2019!
