HDSA/APTA Continuing Education Course for Huntington’s Disease
Welcome to the registration page for HD and Physical Therapy, a continuing education course offered in partnership with the Neurology Section of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). The purpose of the course is to provide information about HD to the physical therapy community in order to increase the number of therapists available to HD families for consultations and active therapy sessions.
This multi-part course is FREE to any registered physical therapist and is available live online or as an enduring activity. Participants will receive a certificate of participation and course materials needed to apply for CEUs from HDSA.
