Foundations in Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) Assessment and Treatment for Allied Health Professionals

Welcome to RewireOT’s Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) course—created specifically for allied health professionals who are ready to deepen their understanding, sharpen their clinical reasoning, and confidently treat individuals living with FND.

Functional Neurological Disorder is one of the most common neurological conditions seen in outpatient practice, yet many clinicians report limited formal training in assessment and treatment. This course bridges that gap.

At RewireOT, we approach FND through a whole-person lens—recognizing that symptoms are real, brain-based, and influenced by the dynamic interaction between sensory processing, movement patterns, attention, stress physiology, and lived experience. Rather than separating physical from psychological, we integrate them. You'll learn how FND impacts functioning through better understanding the nervous system, learning how to incorporate symptom management and develop personalized treatment plans that promote functional change through evidence-informed, consensus-aligned care.

This course is designed to help you:

• Understand current FND consensus language and neurobiological frameworks

• Understand and utilize positive diagnostic signs for FND to ground your patient/caregiver education

• Conduct meaningful, occupation-centered assessments

• Apply practical, nervous system regulating treatment strategies

• Collaborate effectively within interdisciplinary teams

• Practice at the top of your license with clarity and purpose

Whether you are an occupational therapist, physical therapist or speech-language pathologist this training equips you to move beyond treating only the symptoms and toward true functional restoration. You’ll gain tools that are immediately applicable in clinic, strategies that empower your patients, and language that builds rapport and confidence in your ability to treat those with FND.

At RewireOT, we believe rewiring is possible. When clinicians understand FND through a whole-person framework, we not only improve outcomes—we change the experience of care for individuals who have too often felt misunderstood.

Let’s elevate your practice and transform the way FND is treated.
