New Toe Walking Course from ERI’s Internationally Renowned Faculty, Liesa M. Ritchie-Persaud!

ERI is thrilled to release a new on-demand course from our internationally renowned faculty member and toe walking expert, Liesa M. Ritchie-Persaud, PT, DPT, PCS, CKTP.

ERI’s Toe Walking: In-Depth Clinical Applications – ON-DEMAND was recorded at Liesa’s live webinar in February, 2023. Liesa developed this new course to build on Toe-Walking: Evaluation and Treatment of Pediatric Equinus Gait (new title for the course formerly called “Part A,” same exact course). 

This brand-new course, Toe Walking: In-Depth Clinical Applications-ON-DEMAND, offers the opportunity to apply the information you learned from Part A, while also expanding on this knowledge to help you become more confident in your evaluation and treatment skills.  

If you’ve already taken “Part B,” this brand-new course is still for you because, together with Liesa, you will problem-solve through cases and go deeper into the study of toe walking. As you probably know, there are different reasons for toe walking. Depending on these reasons, you’ll approach the treatment of those children differently. In this new toe walking course, Liesa discusses the different causes and spends time going in-depth on each cause.

Here’s what other therapists have said about the course:

Amazing course that helps tie together loose ends from the initial toe walking course and clinical practice. This course really helped me connect the dots and I feel empowered to use my new skills and knowledge in the clinic this week. Liesa is amazing in every way. She’s organized, a great speaker, and so knowledgeable. She speaks so well with humor as needed; the 8-hour course flew by! Alyssa I., PT, DPT

Great course, it had been years since I took her previous Toe Walking course, so this was great to reinforce what I do and to add more tools to my tool box.  Catherine S., PT

Don’t miss the opportunity to take a course with this passionate and engaging instructor. Here’s some feedback about her courses we love to share:

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“I have attended many NICU Intervention courses; this was by far the best organized, comprehensive, and useful course I have attended. Roberta Gatlin is so knowledgeable in NICU and Pediatric concepts. My peers and I took away many ideas and concepts we will integrate into our NICU. This is a great course for both beginning and seasoned therapists.” – Cheryl W. 

“Bertie is very passionate about the care of neonates, which clearly comes across in her course. She has wonderful knowledge and experience to share. I highly recommend this course especially to therapists working in the NICU.” – Scott L.

Anjanette Lee Presents “Neonatal Therapy: Establishing Skills for Independent Practice” Parts 1 and 2

Introducing a new, 4-part CEU series focused on Neonatal Therapy.

ERI is excited to announce that neonatal expert Anjanette Lee will be presenting a new 4-part series on Neonatal Therapy. These parts can be taken sequentially, or as stand alone courses. Parts 1 and 2 are scheduled to run in September through November, 2023, with Parts 3 and 4 to follow in spring 2024. All will be delivered via live webinar. 

This 4-part series will be perfect for NTs studying for the Neonatal Therapy Certificate Exam and for those beginning to establish competency by 1) laying a foundation of fundamental knowledge, 2) closing gaps within core competencies, and 3) assuring both fundamental knowledge and core competency knowledge are applied during NICU interventions.

What do each of the four parts cover?

PART 1:
In Part 1 of this beginner to intermediate course, you will learn foundational knowledge pertaining to the philosophical and structural framework supporting neonatal therapy, the impact of the environment on the developing neonate and family, and the body system dynamics that influence the neonate’s development and the neonatal therapist’s supportive interventions.

PART 2: 
In Part 2 of this beginner to intermediate course, you will learn foundational knowledge pertaining to both the maternal and neonatal medical histories, medical and neonatal therapy equipment, and neonatal therapy assessment tools.

PART 3: 
In Part 3 of this beginner to intermediate course, you will take an in-depth dive into the knowledge and integration of skills needed for independent practice in neonatal therapy, covering micro- and macro-environments, family support, the sensory system, and the neurobehavioral system.

PART 4: 
In Part 4 of this beginner to intermediate course, you will take an in-depth dive into the knowledge and integration of skills needed for independent practice in neonatal therapy, covering oral feeding and swallowing and the neuromotor & musculoskeletal systems.

Do I need to attend the entire 4-part series for credit?

No! The beauty of this series is that participants can pick and choose which part(s) they want to attend. Choose to attend only 1 part or all 4 parts – totally up to you. 

Part 1 will be offered on the following dates: 

Part 2 will be offered on the following dates: 

Parts 3 and 4 will be offered in the spring of 2024 with more details to follow. Save when you register for Parts 1 and 2 together! A discounted rate is available for those who register for both Parts 1 and 2.
