 | | The Rehabilitation literature provides little coverage of medications commonly seen in our practice. 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.

| This webinar translates Ayres' classical sensory integration theory into practical interventions for sensory processing disorders in the context of the home, school and community. PowerPoint images will substantiate neurobiological and research evidence for the use of materials, activities, equipment, and interactions used to test and treat individuals with SPD. Update on recent research brain-related and other studies will illustrate how SPD is gaining recognition as a diagnosis through DSM-5 among others.

| | 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.

| This webinar is for practitioners who want to learn the basics of effective assessment and intervention focused on the home environment. Occupational therapy has a key role in supporting older or disabled individuals to age in place - staying in their homes and communities. This webinar moves beyond simple "home safety checklists" by focusing on evidence-based assessment tools and interventions appropriate to post-acute practice settings and home-based practice. The role of environmental intervention in fall prevention will be covered and the evidence discussed.
After attending this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Provide a rationale for occupational therapy assessment and interventions directed toward the home environment
- Analyze aspects of the person-environment interaction to identify:
- Factors which support performance
- Factors which increase risk, effort or difficulty
- Identify appropriate assessment strategies
- Identify the evidence for in-home OT intervention directed toward falls risk reduction
- Locate evidence-based falls risk assessment tools

| | Nearly 25% of older adults have a vision impairment that affects the ability to complete activities of daily living. Occupational therapy practitioners frequently encounter older adults with vision impairment while providing rehabilitation for another condition. This workshop will provide the generalist OT with skills needed to recognize signs of vision loss in their older clients, provide appropriate occupation-based intervention and identify when and how to refer clients for specialized low vision services.
