Anyone! In addition to physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and physical therapy students in the US and abroad, there are events that may be appropriate for OTs and COTAs as well (you can apply for Single-Course Provider Approval from AOTA if you wish).
For details on the APTA Pediatrics non-discmination, accessibilty, and cancellation policies, please view the APTA Pediatrics Course Attendee Policy, here.
Registrants will have access to all in-person sessions at APTA Pediatrics AC – you’ll have more than 50 sessions to choose from in a variety of pediatric physical therapy specialty areas, because the programming is created in collaboration with our 10 special interest groups. With multiple tracks, you’re able to tailor your educational experience to your specific needs and interests! You’ll also have access to the poster and platform presentations, practice fair, exhibit hall, social events, and more! AC will provide 20.5 contact hours of high-quality pediatric therapy education.
Those who register for in-person AC may also choose to register for on-demand AC at a discounted rate. On-demand AC is perfect for those who wish to experience additional sessions from AC or who aren’t able to attend AC in person. On-demand AC will be made available from Dec 1, 2024 - Feb 1, 2025.
Your CEU certificate will be provided through the AC website and accessed by selecting the CEUs & Evaluations option on the left-hand navigation menu after the conference. Your CEU certificate will only reflect the total number of contact hours/CEUs.
Attendees can track session attendance by completing the session evaluations via the conference app (evaluations will be found at the bottom of each session listing). After AC, you can download a listing of all your attended sessions for your records. To check what is required in your state, contact your chapter office.
As a specialty section of APTA, APTA Pediatrics courses are preapproved in most states; there are a few states that require an additional application. For more information, click HERE.
Yes! A list of specific sessions that may be particularly useful for PCS preparation is posted in the a document prior to the Annual Conference.
