Continuing
Education.
Rising Stars of Rockland sponsors courses in
topics of direct relevance to pediatrics, which
reinforces our agency’s commitment to
our therapists. In
this way, therapists are able to advance their
skills as conveniently and af
fordably
as possible. Furthermore, the therapists have
the opportunity to be involved in the planning
stages of the courses, to carefully tailor the
details of the learning experience to the specific
needs of the children that the agency services.
The continuing education events that Rising
Stars has sponsored have been a huge success,
and have attracted many professionals who want
to further develop and update their skills.
The effects on the children that Rising Stars
services have been remarkable, as they flourish
from the expanded techniques that their Rising
Stars therapists apply during therapy.
Certificates of attendance are awarded to all
workshop participants, who receive continuing
education hours. Professional Continuing Education
Units (CEUs) are provided as appropriate. Rising
Stars of Rockland is privileged to be an American
Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) provider
of continuing education. In addition, Rising
Stars of Rockland provides Continuing Education
Units (CEUs) from the following professional
organizations: American Speech-Language-Hearing
Association (ASHA), New York Society for C ontinuing
Education in Physical Therapy (NYSCEPT), and
National Association of Social Workers (NASW).
Rising Stars plans on expanding the number of
courses we will sponsor in Rockland County,
so that more specialty areas can be addressed.
The interest from the professional community
has been overwhelmingly positive, and this encourages
Rising Stars to continue in our work. Furthermore,
more parent involvement in training events will
be encouraged. We look forward to communicating
with all therapists looking to join Rising Stars’
talented group!
