Pediatric hand and upper extremity rehabilitation continues to evolve, and ASHT is committed to supporting therapists who care for our youngest patients. In recent years, we've expanded our pediatric-focused education, events and professional resources to help clinicians build expertise, stay current with emerging practice and connect with colleagues who share their passion.
Explore the resources below to access pediatric education, practitioner tools, mentorship opportunities and patient resources — all in one place. More resources are being developed this year, so please check back soon and often!
