BOSTON STRONG

 

Our hearts continue to go out to those affected by the tragic events of last week. As a Massachusetts based company, all of us in the office have many loved ones, colleagues and friends who are connected to our great city of Boston and the tradition of the Boston marathon. Our two company owners are themselves alums from Boston University and as therapists, understand the many challenges that all the families affected by the bombings are going to face in the future.

If you would like to help, Gov. Patrick and Mayor Menino have set up a fund for those most affected by the Marathon bombings: onefundboston.org. In addition Education Resources will support this fund, by giving a percentage of our sales from the month of April.

Thank you for your outpouring of care and concern, as our community begins to heal from this senseless tragedy

Baby Steps: Ambulation for the 0-3 Population; CEU course for PT’s, PTA’s, OT’s and OTA’s

How do you maximize your time and target gait in your interventions with infants and toddlers? This course will focus on pre and early ambulation in a population that is predisposed to rapid and dramatic changes: the birth to three population. We will examine typical and atypical preparation for, and development of, ambulation in the infant and toddler. The impact of biomechanics, the neuromuscular system, the sensory system, orthotics, tone management, and assistive equipment will be integrated as participants learn to build intervention strategies to address ambulation early and effectively in infants and toddlers with diagnoses such as CP, developmental delay, prematurity, and Down Syndrome. Course material will be presented using lecture, videos, lab and group problem solving.

Suggestions for Coma Stim?

Dana Posts:
DEAR ERI COMMUNITY:

I work on a sub-acute brain injury rehab unit. Residents are admitted for generally 3 months (many stay longer). I’m looking for some different treatment ideas for my coma residents. Any suggestions for coma stim? Even variations on traditional treatment methods are welcome. 5 days/week x 3 months can get very repetitive!!! Thank you in advance for the ideas!
