STEPS Pediatric Standing & Gait Courses
Continuing education courses focused on acquisition, remediation, and progression of functional, active standing and gait for activities and participation over the lifespan.
Continuing Education for Pediatric Physical Therapists
Our courses are built on decades of pediatric clinical experience and research-informed practice. Each course combines didactic instruction, hands-on learning, clinical observation, and collaborative discussion to help therapists apply new skills directly to their practice.
Courses focus on standing and gait development, remediation, and progression for children and young adults with a range of motor abilities and diagnoses.
The STEPS Approach
STEPS is our structured framework for advancing pediatric mobility and participation. It represents:
Start standing early
Trunk movement modulation
Experience and practice
Postural control and balance
Self-initiated dynamic functional movement
Across all courses, STEPS provides a common language and a clear path for therapists to assess, plan, and progress treatment.
