The Therapies in the School Conference
One of ERI’s most popular offerings is the Therapies in the School Conference, now in its 27th year. This virtual event attracts over 500 therapists from the U.S. and Canada and provides cutting-edge content on topics such as:
- Innovative approaches for inclusive education
- Strategies for complex student needs
- Collaboration techniques for IEP teams
Hosting this conference virtually makes it easy for your staff to participate without travel costs or scheduling disruptions.
Why Invest in Specialized Professional Development for Your School’s Therapists
Your school’s therapists—physical therapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs), and speech-language pathologists (SLPs)—are essential partners in helping students access education and reach developmental milestones. Their work goes far beyond traditional classroom support; they address motor, sensory, communication, and feeding challenges that directly impact a student’s ability to learn and participate.
To keep pace with evolving best practices and complex student needs, therapists need specialized professional development that is tailored to their role—not generic training designed for teachers. Investing in continuing education for your therapy team demonstrates your school’s commitment to:
- Improve Outcomes: Advanced therapeutic strategies to help students achieve IEP goals and thrive in inclusive settings.
- Staff Growth and Retention: Providing meaningful professional development shows your therapists they are valued, reducing turnover and improving job satisfaction.
- Compliance and Quality: Meeting state licensure and professional board requirements ensures your school remains compliant while maintaining high standards of care.
When therapists have access to evidence-based training, they bring innovative solutions to the classroom, collaborate more effectively with teachers and IEP teams, and ultimately improve outcomes for students with diverse needs.
