September 15 to 21, 2019 is National Neonatal Therapy week! Started seven years ago by NANT, this week honors occupational therapists (OTs), physical therapists (PTs) and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who specialize in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Thank you to this group of highly professional, passionate, and driven group of caregivers who dedicate their time to the smallest of patients resulting in a lifetime of positive change.
At ERI, we know that neonatal therapists have an emotional connection to their profession and are always looking for ways to improve upon their practice. To help these therapists meet their professional goals, we have partnered with NANT and offer exceptional neonatal continuing education courses taught by renowned faculty. Our courses teach the latest techniques and treatments that can be immediately applied to practice helping therapists improve outcomes in the NICU and beyond. The CEU hours from our evidence-based NICU courses count toward the required 40 hours of education for certification offered by the Neonatal Therapy National Certification Board (NTNCB).
If you’re a neonatal therapist looking to grow your career and improve outcomes, register for one of our life-changing neonatal courses which will remind you why you became a therapist and why you love what you do.

ERI faculty member Susan L. Roberts, MDiv, OTR/L has used a body, mind, spirit approach developed over four decades of practice to treat patients. She is a great resource for therapists examining the mind-body connection and has recently authored, “Sustainable Health: Simple Habits to Transform Your Life.” In her new book, Susan explores how physical symptoms and ailments that many individuals experience can be mitigated by using tools for self-care based on the five-element theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
