Additional school-based practice professional development opportunities to consider:
-
NEW THIS YEAR: In person option for first two days - November 6 -7, 2025. Excellent way to connect and network!! The speakers are fantastic, once again! This is an easy way to build your skills and knowledge as a school-based practitioner and to get many of your CEUs. The embedded link will take you to the registration and conference information page.
2. Are you new to the school setting or will you be having a colleague join you who is new to schools in the fall? If so, consider signing up for the New to Schools Bootcamp! This free training series is designed for OTs, PTs, and SLPs with five or fewer years of school-based practice experience. Check out the New to Schools Bootcamp Flyer to register for the bootcamp series. Please share this information with anyone you think might be interested in this professional development opportunity.
Wishing you all a great start to the new school year!
