Therapists who have entered the new field of Recently ReAnimated Therapy may find themselves searching for continuing education courses as the first renewal period for RRA/T licenses creeps closer. Even as the streets are being swept clean of the RRA, the relocation and quarantine camps for the infected are swelling, and the need for qualified therapists is growing. Course development in this area has been somewhat slow to adapt, however,
HomeCEUConnection.com, an approved RRA/T provider, offers many online classes that may be adapted for RRA therapy. We hope to have several new RRA/T classes completed and on the market before the December 31st deadline, including "No More Shuffling: Gait Correction Techniques for Bipedal RRAs", "New Ways to Communicate With Your Dead Client", "Dietary Concerns for RRA, Module 1: Rodents, Small Marsupials and Waterfowl" and "Dietary Concerns for RRA, Module 2: The Effects of Decaying Flesh in the RRA Gastrointestinal Tract". Here are a few of our current courses that are currently approved for your RRA/T CE requirements (Please note: As these courses must be modified to treat the RRA, only partial contact hours are credited):
Treating Balance and Fall Prevention for the Geriatric Patient
Contact hours: 4 / RRA Contact hours: 3
In this course we will outline many of the risk factors and impairments leading to fall risk, how to evaluate high risk patients, and ideas for intervention. This course includes discussion of the therapy management of musculoskeletal, neurological (not applicable for RRA), cardiopulmonary, and specific sensory disorders that lead to imbalance and falls. In addition to addressing risk factors and physical therapy management, we will also review prevention strategies for both home (not recommended for RRA) and institutional settings. UPDATE: Additional demo video exploring mono-pedal RRA balance issues is nearly done and should be added to the course very soon).
Motor Speech Disorders Module 5: Managing Speech Disorders
Contact hours: 12 / RRA Contact hours: 8
This text based course covers the substrates of motor speech and its disorders, the disorders and their diagnoses, and management - focusing on integrating what is known about the bases of motor speech disorders with the realities of clinical practice to ensure readers have the key content they need to be effective practitioners. UPDATE: "Appendix A: Adaptations for Tongue-less RRA" and "Appendix B: Adaptations for Jawless RRA" can be downloaded from the publisher website.
Assessing and Treating Musculoskeletal Disorders through Therapeutic Yoga Techniques
Contact hours: 2 / RRA Contact hours: 1
At the completion of this course, the RRA/T will gain knowledge of basic Therapeutic Yoga principles and how to integrate them with traditional medicine.
