Maximizing a Child's Engagement in Pediatric Therapy Sessions (Recorded Webinar)

Course overview

This course is a recording of a previously hosted live webinar event. Polling and question submission features are not available for this recording. Format and structure may differ from those of standard Medbridge courses. Children routinely enter therapy to build skills, improve function, or enhance their quality of life. Often during therapy sessions, a child resists activities or has difficulty staying engaged. Many practitioners face challenges in achieving successful outcomes when a child struggles with participation, leading to not feeling fully equipped to apply strategies that support a child in these moments. This webinar is designed to empower pediatric practitioners by providing a theoretical foundation and clinical framework for understanding and addressing behavioral challenges in therapy. Participants will explore evidence-based approaches that not only increase a child's engagement in therapeutic activities but also support the child's emotional well-being throughout the process. By learning practical techniques grounded in behavioral theory and child-directed intervention, attendees will be better prepared to create safe, motivating, and emotionally responsive environments where children can thrive. This session will help clinicians connect theory to practice in meaningful ways, equipping them with the tools to deliver interventions that are both effective and compassionate.
