Austill's is committed to providing High Quality, low cost workshops to our therapists, along with therapists from the community. We are pleased to announce that Austill's is now an AOTA Approved Provider in addition to recently becoming a Pennsylvania Act 48 Approved Provider! Occupational Therapy Practitioner's requirements for Continuing Education are now a little easier with Austill's AOTA Approved Provider status. Please check back for an updated listing of courses.

Our workshops are traditionally held in the evening, usually from 6:30/7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. The evening timeframe allows therapists to attend work during the day, and helps therapists handle home duties, before leaving for the workshop. Austill's also offers Saturday workshops focusing on more in-depth subject matter.

Therapists always receive a Certificate of Attendance, verifying contact hours for continuing education requirements.
