Wearable Tech For Health Management In Autism And ADHD Across The Lifespan
Presented by Julia Colman, OTD, OTR/L, BCP, CCTS-I
Live WebinarThu, Jul 23, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #7067Level: Introductory1 Hour
One in five people is estimated to be neurodivergent, yet services across health, education, and community settings continue to struggle to meet their needs effectively. This continuing education lecture asks: what does it actually feel like to be autistic or have ADHD in a world designed for neurotypical processing, and how does that shape a person's capacity to manage their health, sustain medication routines, and access the self-care that underpins everything else? Beginning with therapy's unique contribution to understanding sensory processing, interoception, and self-regulation in neurodivergent individuals, the lecture builds a compelling case for why conventional approaches to medication management and health maintenance are often insufficient, and why wearable technologies represent a promising new frontier. Through interactive case studies spanning the lifespan, participants explore how specific devices can be purposefully matched to client profiles and occupational goals across medication adherence, physiological monitoring, and self-regulation support. Critically, the lecture addresses the practical and ethical considerations unique to neurodivergent populations. This course is designed for an interprofessional audience.
