Join Us for APTA’s Section on Pediatrics Annual Conference (SoPAC)
August 31 – September 2, 2011
Disneyland Hotel, Anaheim, CA

SoPAC is a pediatric-specific forum for therapists from all practice settings. This exciting conference will provide multiple opportunities for networking and focused evidence-based professional development with colleagues from widespread geographic locations. Cutting-edge educational programming will broaden therapists' perspectives on a variety of pediatric practice areas: neonatology, early intervention, school-based, hospital-based, sports - fitness, and adolescents & adults with developmental disabilities. In addition, specific sessions will be presented related to clinical and academic instruction in pediatrics. Three post-conference courses also are offered.

Visit the SoPAC website for additional information, including the SoPAC 2011 Schedule-at-a-Glance, SoPAC speakers and session descriptions, housing, and registration. Advance registration is open through August 1.

Please note that the deadline to register to present at the Practice Forum has been extended to July 15. This event is for practicing clinicians to share ideas about clinical practice and information with their peers, including creative interventions, strategies, activities; innovative programs; and adaptations, modifications, and specialized use of equipment, toys, and materials.
