DESCRIPTION
Part One (February 25, 2027) of this webinar series, Assessment of Atypical Parkinsonisms, focuses on differential diagnosis and clinical reasoning for individuals with atypical parkinsonisms. Experts from multiple disciplines will highlight key assessment tools, considerations based on diagnosed atypical parkinsonism subgroups and clinical red flags that distinguish atypical presentations from idiopathic Parkinson’s disease. Case studies will illustrate discipline specific areas of focus as well as assessment techniques for early and later stage patients.

Part Two (March 18, 2027) of this webinar series, Approaches to Intervention in Atypical Parkinsonisms, provides a practical framework for evidence-based intervention in atypical parkinsonisms. Interdisciplinary experts will demonstrate treatment planning, emphasizing motor learning, dual-task training, communication and functional mobility. Case examples will illustrate how patient-centered care supports real-world participation, quality of life and acknowledged priorities for those patients and care partners with a more complex or progressed state of their disease.

Part Three (April 1, 2027) of this webinar series, The Other 23 Hours: Management at Home & in the Community, focuses on the time outside of formal therapy. This webinar will feature a panel of interdisciplinary experts to address strategies for optimizing independence and safety at home and in community settings. Panelists will discuss care partner education, adaptive equipment, environmental modifications and community programming to promote activity and engagement. This webinar panel will also allow for discussion with a patient with atypical parkinsonism and a care partner to provide a lived experience with this disease progression.
