RESNA fall webinars
Check out RESNA’s live webinars remaining for November 2025.  This webinar and all RESNA webinars offer 0.1 IACET CEUs and are available on-demand after the live webinar.
- November 19, 2025: “The Safe and Sound Protocol: A Calming Tool to Enhance Sensory Regulation and Assistive Technology Outcomes”
RESNA also offers several on-demand webinars, which fulfill the IACET CEU requirement for Assistive Technology Professional renewal, such as:
- “Telerehab and Telewellness for People Aging with a Disability”
- “Dynamic Seating: Providing Movement for Clinical Benefit”
- “Powered Wheelchair Access Methods for Highly Complex Clients”
- “Creating Mobility Solutions for Children”
Search for these and other on-demand webinars in the RESNA store. RESNA also has a list of continuing education providers on the website that have several courses acceptable for ATP renewal. Look for the list in the Certification section, under “Continuing Education.”
Don’t forget, you can use the same continuing education for ATP recertification as you use to renew your iNRRTS registration. iNRRTS requires Registrants to renew on an annual basis with documentation of 1.0 CEU of continuing education. This means that those who successfully renew iNRRTS registration meet the requirements to renew their ATP. The only difference is that the ATP renewal is every two years.
Tips for stress-free ATP certification renewal
Almost 1,000 people will need to renew their ATP between October and February. Follow these tips for stress-free ATP certification renewal.
- Use RESNA’s online renewal form and upload digital copies of your continuing education certificates along with required paperwork up to 3 months prior to your certification expiration date.
- If you can’t upload your certificates because the files are too big, upload one certificate and submit your application. Then, scan all the remaining certificates into a single PDF and email everything to certification@resna.org. Do not send snail mail.
- Make sure your RESNA online account is up to date. Your username is the email address you have on file with RESNA. You can reset your password if you’ve forgotten it. Remember to check that spam folder for the reset link.
- Don’t delay, pay that invoice right away! Once we receive your paperwork, we will place an invoice on your account and email you. If you do not see an email within three business days, log in to your RESNA account and see if the invoice is there before contacting the office.Â
- Make sure you have the required continuing education credits and submitted digital copies of the certificates. You must have 20 hours of continuing education from the previous two years. Of those 20 hours, at least 10 must be IACET CEUs or from a preferred provider, like AOTA, APTA, etc., or from a university. Note: iNRRTS is an IACET-accredited provider, as is RESNA.
Annual notice of the Code of Conduct and Standards of Practice
Earning certification requires not only demonstration of a core knowledge in assistive technology but also a requirement to follow RESNA’s Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice, which sets forth the fundamental concepts for ethical practice. Violation of one or more can result in punitive action by the RESNA Professional Standards Board, which oversees the certification program.
It’s a good idea to review the Code of Conduct and Standards of Practice once a year, and make sure you know and understand the four duties owed by ATPs to consumers and the public, to the profession, to companies and affiliates, and to RESNA. The Code of Conduct and Standards of Practice are posted on the RESNA website in the certification section.
