Knowledge Is Now and Sonrisas Therapies are advancing healthcare together and we are thrilled!!! Check out what we’re doing and we hope you will join us.
Knowledge Is Now offers a wide variety of live and recorded continuing education courses, as well as annual education plans and consulting services for therapy organizations.
With an Annual Education Plan, your organization has an affordable, flexible way to invest in professional development for your therapy team.
- Your team may need clinical skill development in a certain area or at a certain level.
- Making sure your team has a solid understanding of medical necessity as it relates to assessment, dosage and goal writing is paramount if you are interested in building Value Based Agreements with health plans.
- Perhaps you are interested in enhancing the personal, relational and leadership abilities within your team.
- Maybe you are interested in increasing therapist engagement, retention, and satisfaction by providing access to the continuing education they need for licensure.
We work with you to determine the combination of high-quality, evidence-based courses for your team, tailored specifically to your group’s learning goals.
Through our Consulting Services, we can also help your organization address pain points such as:
- high therapist turnover / low therapist retention
- health plan denials
- inefficient and/or inadequate onboarding and orientation
- reports of therapist burnout
- parent/caregiver complaints
- and much more!
We want to make sure you’re getting the results you need, so we utilize individualized metrics to track pre- and post- status, depending on your focus areas. Here are just a handful of the metrics we might track:
- documentation quality, effectiveness, medical necessity
- therapist comfort and confidence
- therapist satisfaction
- retention rates
- ability to serve unique populations
- assistant/supervisor relationship effectiveness, satisfaction
- what matters most to you!!!
And now…drumroll, please!!!
Meet Sonrisas Therapies, a Therapy Organization with a KIN Annual Education Plan
Sonrisas Therapies – Pediatric Home & Healthcare Services strives to empower children to achieve their dreams through play-based, child-centered, family-inclusive speech, occupational, and physical therapy in the home and daycare setting.
When we met with Tsambika Bakiris, CCC-SLP, Founder of Sonrisas Therapies, toward the end of 2024, it was clear that she was interested in building consistency, confidence and quality across her therapy team, especially given what she described as ‘all the moving parts in pediatric care’. The Pediatric Therapy Foundations course collection at Knowledge Is Now seemed like the perfect fit!
Tsambika shared:
“We went with the Pediatric Therapy Foundations series because it hits the sweet spot between clinical depth and real-world application—our team can actually use it, right away.”
So far, it seems like we are hitting that sweet spot!
Check out a sample of the course feedback from the Sonrisas Therapy team, just from their first 2 courses:
Medical Necessity in Assessment, Dosage Goal Writing
Great webinar, excellent teaching. Appreciate the list of multiple outcome measures shared. (AT, Physical Therapist)This course was great — the list of evaluations is comprehensive and I think will be valuable for our clinicians. Additionally, the handout of the presentation with the additional information was nice to have. I was able to listen to the information. (LW, Speech Language Pathologist)
Great information on determining medical necessity and dosages. Loved the information on educating parents on recognizing therapy needs change during a child’s life, that receiving 2x a week for 22 years is not to be expected and can actually be harmful to the child. (JK, Speech Language Pathologist)
I loved the concrete examples that prompted reflection. Very applicable to daily work. (LM, Occupational Therapist)
Meaningful & Effective Goal Writing and Visit Note Documentation
I loved the reflective component especially with the use of goals we all tend to use on occasion that are not ideal. (AK , Occupational Therapist)
This course was helpful and as always, the instructor provided excellent real-life examples and allowed for time to discuss important points. (LW, Speech Language Pathologist)
This was a great course. It gave me a lot of areas and ideas on how to improve my visit notes. (JK, Speech Language Pathologist)
We are very much looking forward to the rest of 2025 with Sonrisas, as well as collaborating to build their customized plan for 2026.
