Pre-registration for the clinic and the parent workshop is done by emailing Dr. Nath's Clinic Coordinator at sclinic@drnathmedical.com.

Pre-registration for a theratog consult and fitting is also done by emailing sclinic@drnathmedical.com. Deadline for togging registration is September 15, 2006. Appointments are extremely limited because of the time it takes to "tog" each child.

Pre-registration for the Therapist Course will be found online at http://www.tascnetwork.net. Discounts for early registration will be available. Contact hours available.

I can't find the pre-registration form at that link.

It's not up on that site yet. But you can contact their office at the number found on the site and Wing can probably send you a registration form if she has it ready.

Updated information and online registration for this clinic is found at http://www.drnathclinics.com.

TASCnetwork has a brochure now available.
