There is growing evidence that supports the benefit of providing care through an interprofessional approach for individuals with complex diagnoses like Parkinson’s disease (PD). This course serves to provide practical guidance in providing PT, OT, and SLP treatment set against the background of LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG to positively impact the quality of life and function of those living with PD.

The unique relationship between the occupational and physical therapist when treating an acute, subacute, or chronic stroke diagnosis will be distinguished in this two-part series. Part two will focus on the subacute and chronic stroke, differentiating the home, outpatient, and community phases of rehabilitation, as well as examining the evaluation, evidence, and interventions in each setting to optimize independence for the patient.

The unique collaboration and relationship between physical and occupational therapists throughout the evaluation and treatment of acute, subacute, and chronic stroke diagnoses will be analyzed in this two-part series. Part one will distinguish important stroke definitions used within the medical field and compare and contrast the differences between the acute and inpatient rehabilitation phases.

Multidisciplinary assessment and intervention of individuals at risk of falls are crucial in identifying functional and diagnostic factors as well as effective rehabilitation and prevention of future falls. This series identifies areas of collaboration and supportive information-sharing strategies between professionals who commonly see individuals who fall and are likely to be injured due to a fall.

The impact of normal aging on various systems and the differences between frail and well elders are described in this course. Information and interventions are discussed that allow interprofessional team members to support functional mobility, nutrition and hydration, and health management in their geriatric clients, in order to promote successful aging.

Interdisciplinary collaboration in early intervention (EI) supports pediatric outcomes. It provides a stronger foundation for children as they prepare to transition out of EI services or from EI services into other post-EI service settings. This course will explore evidence-based OT interventions through an interdisciplinary lens. This is Day 5 of the Early Intervention Virtual Conference.
