The Benefits of ERI

Over 30 years ago, ERI was founded by therapists, for therapists. The ERI staff knows better than anyone the unique challenges you face as a practitioner seeking supplementary education because they have been there, too. The founders, Barbara Goldfarb and Carol Loria, recognized there was a better way to learn than exchanging information among themselves, and from there, ERI was born. 

ERI’s exceptional faculty consists of nearly 200 internationally recognized clinicians. Every teacher in our more than 300 CEU courses is a dedicated lifelong learner committed to developing your knowledge and reigniting your passion for the work you do. Our in-depth resources and hands-on learning opportunities allow you to gain transferrable skills you can take straight out of the classroom and into the office, where you can begin changing lives immediately.
