ALS Progression & Clinical Management for Rehab Professionals (Stollberg - Live Interactive Webinar)

Course overview

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) affects approximately 30,000 Americans at any given time, with 5,000-6,000 new diagnoses annually. This progressive neurodegenerative disease creates a critical need for rehabilitation professionals to understand the patterns of disease progression, functional decline, and early therapeutic decision-making. Without this foundational knowledge, clinicians risk overlooking opportunities for early intervention, goal setting, and patient-centered care planning. This course offers a focused introduction to ALS progression, subtypes, and early evaluation strategies tailored to PT, OT, and SLP practice. Clinicians will learn to recognize stage-specific clinical features and select appropriate evaluation tools to inform patient goals and effective treatment. In a condition where timing is essential, this course empowers clinicians to maximize early-stage impact.
