I want to become credentialed
I am interested in becoming credentialed as a pediatric aquatic specialist and have taken the following ATU courses: the pediatric primer class +boot camp, the aquatic therapy for the medically fragile + boot camp, and I want to teach class. I purchased/completed the pediatric sensory integration seminar DVD as well.
I am interested in the ortho/neuro class in March and the NDT pediatric class in November 2012. What other course work would you recommend for the pediatric credentialing?
Hi Ann,
Congrats; you can finish out your credentials in the next year!
You will need to take Evidence-Based Aquatic Therapy for the Pediatric Client (unfortunately, we just held it 2 weeks ago and won't hold it on campus again until 2013; it will probably be offered as a polyclinic somewhere in 2012, however).
You will also need to take the Hands On class that you mentioned in March. We are only holding it once on-campus in 2012. It is the single entry point requirement for all the tracks, so register soon as it will sell-out in the next month.
Here are the requirements in a nutshell:
Aquatic Therapy Boot Camp (4 hrs)
Water-Based Interventions for the Pediatric Client (was 14 hrs; is now 16; we will credit you 16)
Hands On Aquatic Therapy Techniques for the Ortho/Neuro Client (16 hrs)
Evidence-Based Aquatic Therapy for the Pediatric Client (16 hrs)
Plus electives to round out the 84 hour minimum (typically two 16-hr classes or a mixture of other options)
Since you have taken the Medically Fragile class, if you take the Nov NDT class; you will be done with electives!
I have posted a pdf on our storefront for more information. Just go to www.swimatu.com and click on the Aquatic Therapy Credentialing link to view it.
