Therapists from across the country attended the 15th annual Therapies in the School Conference on November 20–21 in Framingham, MA, sponsored by Education Resources, Inc. This widely respected professional development event continues to bring together school-based occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and special educators committed to improving student outcomes. The conference featured a distinguished faculty who presented workshops on hot topics, including integrating visual and motor strategies that promote learning, addressing therapy delivery within time constraints, and developing executive function skills to boost student productivity and independence.

Therapro was proud to exhibit at the conference, connecting with school-based professionals and sharing tools designed to support evidence-based practice. Many therapists stopped by the Therapro booth to explore new product offerings, revisit favorite tools, or simply exchange ideas. These meaningful conversations reinforce our mission to provide practical, therapist-recommended resources that enhance school-based therapy.
