Tomorrow!! Time is running out to register!

Many feel uncertain when constipation doesn’t resolve, especially in young children. In this session, PTs unpack pediatric pelvic floor dysfunction through evaluation and treatment. You’ll see how balance, strength, breath control, coordination, and other interventions can be integrated into age-appropriate care. Learn to track outcomes to better assess progress and quality-of-life impact.

This session blends current literature with real-world clinical reasoning. If you work with kids—or want to feel more confident identifying/addressing pelvic floor dysfunction —this is a session you won’t want to miss!

The Department of Education recently closed comments on a proposed rule affecting access to federal student loans. A decision is expected in the next 30–60 days. APTA is engaging Congress and working with a coalition of >95 organizations to address potential impacts.
Simultaneously, APTA is advancing legislation including H.R. 5621, which would add physical therapists to the National Health Service Corps loan repayment program. They're also advocating for legislation that would permanently authorize Medicare telehealth services for PTs, OTs, and SLPs.
