| | School-based occupational therapy practitioners are charged with making decisions about how, when, and where to provide appropriate services and supports for students. These decisions are not always straight-forward and often require interacting with external forces both within and beyond practitioners’ control, including collaboration with parents, administrators and other education staff, staying abreast of effective practices and interventions, and awareness of changing rules about how decisions are to be made in a given system (and by whom). All of these forces (and others) can significantly affect workloads, procedural processes, and staff roles. This webinar will help practitioners understand the underlying factors that influence what they do everyday as well as support their efforts to advocate for and provide appropriate occupational therapy services.

In addition these sources of information provide only limited coverage of pharmacology principles, specifically pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and how these relate to therapeutic interventions for our patients. The aim for this presentation is to discuss the most common cardiovascular and anti-diabetic medications in relationship to basic pharmacology, physiology and exercise interventions.
