A Workshop Designed for Neuro Therapists Who Want More Than a Lecture
Dendrite Expansion Day (DED) is an annual in-person, experiential continuing education workshop put on by NeuroCollaborative - initially designed exclusively for NeuroSpark members. But due to overwhelming interest from non-members, we’re opening only 10 SPOTS to non-Sparkies this year!
Whether you’re a member or not, this is your chance to experience hands-on mentorship, live treatment demonstrations, and collaborative learning - all in one immersive weekend.
WHAT MAKES DED DIFFERENT?
✔ Immersive Learning: Stop sitting in lectures all day. Try interventions, test equipment, and practice with patient volunteers and peers.
✔ Mentorship on Demand: Learn directly from PT and OT leaders while collaborating with other therapists.
✔ Hands-On Equipment Trials: From BioXtreme to Vivistim and more, test and learn how to apply multiple rehab tools safely and effectively for every patient.
✔ Food, Fun & Giveaways: Breakfast, lunch, snacks, and a little laughter to recharge your brain and body. Get a chance to win super cool rehab equipment you've been wanting but your department won't buy!
✔ CEUs That Count: Up to 10 contact hours available.
