Push-in to the Classroom! The Why and How for Related Service Providers

Push-in to the classroom is an evidence-based and effective treatment strategy for OTs, PTs, and SLPs. Because of multiple barriers, therapists are often more comfortable providing pull-out therapy sessions. In this 2-hour course, the speaker includes a research review, push-in and distance-learning strategies, and a discussion of the benefits of carryover and collaboration strategies.
