Registrants who would like to pursue the self-hosted registration option must:

• Locate another therapist or small group of therapists who would like to register together as a unit. Individual registrations without a qualified and registered partner are not permitted.
• Find a suitable location from which the pair/group can all view the zoom lectures together.
• Practice hands-on lab techniques on the other therapists in their pair/group without a lab assistant or instructor physically present at their self-hosted location. The instructor will provide remote direction via zoom.
• Students are required to attend a hosted satellite course option and are not permitted to register for self-hosted events..
