🚨 Now Approved: 12 CPD Units for Physical Therapists

Autism care is evolving—and physical therapists are increasingly recognized as an essential part of the care team.

Current advances in neuroscience, sensory processing, and neurodevelopmental research highlight that autism is a whole-body experience, where movement, posture, tone, regulation, and emotional safety are deeply interconnected.

Autism Matters, a 2-day course with Kim Barthel, is designed to support PTs in understanding how and why autistic individuals move, respond, and participate the way they do—across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.

In this course, physical therapists will learn to:

-Understand regulation as a brain–body process, not a behavioral concern
-Recognize how sensory processing and stress responses influence movement and participation
-Interpret tone, coordination, and motor patterns as adaptive nervous system responses
-Support functional goals through co-regulation, relational safety, and attuned movement experiences
-Collaborate more effectively within interdisciplinary autism care teams

This learning reflects the current direction of autism care—neurodiversity-affirming, relational, and grounded in both science and human connection.

The Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health in partnership with the Matana University in Indonesia proudly presents the 3rd Asian Functional Medicine Conference,
happening on 6–7 February 2026 at the Ateneo Rockwell Campus Auditorium, Makati City, Philippines.

With the theme “Energizing Health: Mitochondria, Circadian Rhythms, and the HPA Axis through the Lifespan,” this two-day event will explore the science of energy, resilience, and balance — uncovering how our body’s core systems influence lifelong health and vitality.

Join global and local experts as they share groundbreaking insights, practical strategies, and integrative approaches to root-cause, systems-based care.

🌊 REGULATION MATTERS

Regulation Matters is a two-day immersive workshop that moves beyond the buzzword of “regulation” and into the neurobiology that shapes how humans feel, respond, connect, and function.

Regulation is not just about calming down.
It is not a set of techniques.
It is a biological and relational process, rooted in the autonomic nervous system and shaped by safety, connection, and lived experience.

Through the lens of Polyvagal Theory, interoception, and emotional integration, this course helps participants understand why behavior manifests in certain ways and how to respond in ways that foster regulation, resilience, and meaningful connection.

🔎Participants will explore:

-The neurobiology of regulation and how nervous system states organize behavior

-Polyvagal Theory as a framework for understanding safety, connection, activation, and shutdown

-Interoception and its role in emotional awareness, self-regulation, and behavior

-Practical, Polyvagal-informed and interoceptive strategies applicable across ages and settings

-How to integrate sensation, emotion, cognition, and relationship into embodied, functional support

-This course also invites participants to reflect on their own regulatory patterns, recognizing that regulation is inherently relational—and that we bring our nervous systems into every interaction.

🌏Regulation Matters is ideal for:

-Occupational, speech, and physical therapists

-Psychologists, counselors, and educators

-Doctors and healthcare providers

-Professionals supporting trauma, neurodiversity, emotional regulation, and complex behavior

-Parents and Individuals who are supporting others

Autism Matters is a two-day, in-person learning experience created for those who want to understand autism beyond labels, behaviors, and protocols—and instead through the lens of neurodevelopment, relationship, and lived experience.

For this 2026 offering, Kim Barthel will be debuting newly updated data, frameworks, and clinical insights on autism for the very first time in the Philippines. These updates reflect the evolving understanding of autism through neurodevelopmental science, relational neuroscience, and whole-body systems, integrating research with deeply human practice.

Autism is not a checklist.
It is a complex neurodevelopmental experience shaped by biology, environment, sensory processing, movement, immune function, and connection. When autism is reduced to techniques alone, we miss the child. When we understand the systems beneath behavior, support becomes clearer, more respectful, and more effective.

📖In this course, participants will explore:

-Updated scientific perspectives on autism, including neurodevelopment, epigenetics, and the gut–brain–immune connection

-How sensory processing differences influence regulation, participation, and daily function

-The role of relational neuroscience and co-regulation in creating safety and supporting learning

-Movement and motor planning through a strengths-based, autonomy-honoring lens

-How these elements come together to support autistic individuals holistically across home, school, and clinical settings

Autism Matters is not about “fixing” children.
It is about understanding them more deeply, so our work aligns with dignity, science, and authentic human connection.

🌏This course is designed for:

-Occupational, speech, and physical therapists

-SPED teachers, psychologists, and educators

-Doctors and allied health professionals

-Parents and caregivers seeking a deeper, science-informed understanding
