Thank You!

NeuroSpark is a mentoring and learning model that fits YOUR life.  How does it do that?  It is an online mentorship program designed in collaboration with NeuroCollaborative and Dr. JJ Mowder-Tinney, PT, PhD that provides you video educational content, live calls, and additional resources to help physical therapists, occupational therapists, and PT and OT assistants improve clinical assessments and treatments for the neurologic population.  It provides exceptional mentoring and skills for clinical advancement that you can't get anywhere else.

NeuroSpark was created BY neuro therapists FOR neuro PTs, OTs, assistants, and exercise professionals.

We've all had the experience of going to continuing education courses and vowing to find time to digest what we've learned, share it with our colleagues, and implement it into our practice.

Then, the busy-ness of work and life happen and we never really translate that knowledge into practice.  We're doing the best we can with what we've got, but it's not what we want for ourselves or for our patients and clients.

We thought there's got to be a better way to keep up with the research, have ongoing learning, get feedback and guidance, have a mentor to reach out to, share wins and challenges with others...

AND THUS NEUROSPARK WAS BORN!

This program is a recurring subscription.  Whichever plan you choose will automatically renew unless you cancel before the next billing cycle.  

NeuroSpark operates on a monthly schedule to provide you engaging content every other week. Calls occur live on Zoom (a free and easy-to-use video platform) and are recorded and stored in the member's library in case you miss it. 

Most calls occur every other Tuesday evening at 5:30 pm PT / 8:30 pm ET, however, all calls are recorded if you can't make it live.

The learnings will be bite-sized to allow you to consume them, implement the next day at the clinic, and report back with any questions, wins, or challenges.

All content is delivered through a well-curated membership platform you can access at any time. (There's even a handy app!) 

Although Dr. Mowder has been an educator for many years and teaching continuing education courses in person for many years, this unique format allows us to create content based on YOUR feedback and make it interactive, engaging and fun!

Our motto for this program - it must be FUN!

You will have approximately 2 hours of video calls scheduled per month.  Your estimated time commitment for the NeuroSpark Membership is approximately 3 hours per month - but that's really up to you.

Here is an outline of what MAY BE included in the month:

• The calls will occur every other week, typically on Tuesday evenings at 5:30 pm PT / 8:30 pm ET

PLUS it also includes:

• A fully curated members-only portal with recordings of all meetings (in case you can't make it live or want to re-watch), handouts, call links, schedule links - EVERYTHING all in one easy to access place.
• Resource reviews - Live or pre-recorded sessions discussing research articles, learning activities, community engagement, etc, as appropriate
• Optional quarterly business workshops and monthly check-ins open to all members who want to start or grow a wellness business or want to learn more about it.  
• Optional monthly Parkinson Focus Track calls for those looking to grow expertise in the treatment of people with PD.
• 2 FULL DAYS of continuing education workshops per year, live or virtual - dates announced inside.
• Community - a closed Facebook group with other passionate neuro professionals where ongoing discussion, mentorship, and connecting will occur

This educational network is designed to work for YOU!  If you cannot make calls live, all of them will be recorded and uploaded to your fully curated member library.  You can access at any time and track your progress easily.

We hope you can make some calls live as it will be of the most benefit to you growing as a clinician to get live mentoring.  

We understand this is not always possible and you are busy!  We've designed this for busy professionals in a way that is NOT overwhelming and allows you to actually process and implement what you are learning month by month so you can see your growth!

NeuroSpark will only open 2-3x/year so that we can focus all of our attention on the members inside for as much of our time as possible.  

We are open NOW until January 27th!  

This program will continue to give you more value!  You will keep your current rate as you remain a member in good standing.

NeuroSpark is an excellent fit for dedicated:

• Physical therapists
• Occupational therapists
• Physical therapist assistants
• Occupational therapist assistants
• Therapists with specialty certifications such as NCS, CSRS, CBIS, etc
• Exercise professionals working with individuals with neurologic conditions
• Neuro Business Owners

The content and focus is entirely neuro, but you do NOT have to be a neuro therapist to join.  It is an excellent way for any therapist who wants more ideas, input, feedback, and learning opportunities to help neuro patients.

If you would like a sample of what it would be like in NeuroSpark to determine whether it would meet your learning needs, please watch our free webinar on Knee Extensor Thrust in Gait.  If you would like to join based on that, we will warmly welcome you!

Personal trainers with businesses are a great fit to join for the biz workshops and calls! We have several amazing neuro personal trainers inside already and love collaborating with them.

What will be covered in NeuroSpark:

This is not an inclusive list... A large breadth and depth of neuro content will be covered with diagnoses such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, etc.  Topics such as gait, sit to stand, transfers, reactive balance, resistance training, aerobic training, etc.

What will NOT be covered in NeuroSpark:

Although we are expanding our mentorship.. this program is NOT a good fit for therapists looking for mainly

• Vestibular
• Concussion
• Dementia
• Cognitive re-training

However, we are growing the above areas.  Please reach out if you have any questions about the content and fit for you!  Email us at [email protected]

Getting continuing education credit for your commitment is important!  We are approved for continuing education in CA, NY, and TX and all states with reciprocity for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants.  It is your responsibility to understand what your state requires prior to enrolling if you are concerned. 

For states not covered under CA, NY or TX and for occupational therapists or occupational therapist assistants, all materials will be easily accessible to you in the members portal to self-submit in your home state.  

If you have never done self-submit, it is often pretty easy. Explore it for yourself with your state's approval organization. We will make sure you have everything you need to make it simple!

As we have currently laid out the plan, there is an opportunity to earn 20+ contact hours per year.  This may be subject to change based on feedback and input from members. 

You must complete all coursework in the quadrimester (the 4-month bouts we schedule on) to earn the full contact hours offered.   

Continuing education is calculated 4 months at a time.  Each 4-month bout (aka quadrimester - our made up word!) will offer approximately 6-8 contact hours. Fully completing three 4-month bouts (a total of 12 months) will provide you with 18-24 contact hours for the year (or more because BONUSES).

Once the 4-month bout is complete, we will verify the applicable coursework you have completed and send you the certificate via email with the hours you've earned.

You will be notified of the schedule ahead of time with the deadline to complete the required coursework to earn your contact hours.

**Note** For states that limit the number of hours of recorded continuing education, we ARE able to make the distinction of hours attended LIVE and those watched recorded on your CEU certificate.  We track who attends live for each call and are happy to meet your state's requirement.  We ask that you please just email us at the completion so we can edit your certificate accordingly.

Woo hoo! Your employer pays for some of your continuing education!  This is really all the con ed you need for the year, so bravo for choosing to use your dollars wisely :) 

Different employers require different things, and the good news is - WE CAN TOO!  Just contact us if your employer requires something on a specific time frame, and we'll make sure you get it so you can be reimbursed for your investment and focus on all the learning.

You can download our Course Brochure to give you your employer now! Find it just below the pricing options on this webpage.

Your satisfaction is our priority!  You may cancel your subscription plan at any time and enjoy access until the end of the billing period. 

Annual and Quadrimester members have 30 days to cancel for a full refund.
