Understanding K-12 Systems: What Every OTP Should Know
Presented by Christina Marsack-Topolewski, PhD, LMSW
Video
Course: #7119Level: Introductory1 Hour
Occupational therapy practitioners frequently support children and families who are navigating educational challenges, school-based services, and special education systems. This training will provide a practical overview of K–12 supports, accommodations, and resources, while highlighting the OTP's role in collaborating with families and school teams. Participants will gain tools and strategies to help children and caregivers navigate, access, and advocate for school-based services and supports.

Schools 101: The OTP Starter Guide
Presented by Aditi Mehra, DHSc, OTR/L
Video
Course: #7127Level: Introductory2 Hours
This introductory course prepares occupational therapy practitioners who are new to school-based practice or transitioning from medical, outpatient, or pediatric clinic settings. Participants will learn the role of OT in schools, the difference between medical and educational models, workload versus caseload thinking, service delivery options, documentation expectations, and how to avoid being reduced to “the handwriting therapist.” Current evidence supports expanding school-based OT toward participation, inclusion, transition support, MTSS, and embedded collaborative models.

Early Attachment: Impact on Maternal and Infant Health
Presented by Tahara Debarrows, MA, LMFT
Live WebinarTue, Oct 13, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #7031Level: Introductory1 Hour
Mother–infant bonding develops through everyday interactions, including feeding, soothing, bathing, dressing, play, and sleep routines. Therapy practitioners are uniquely positioned to support these relational experiences while addressing the sensory, environmental, functional, and occupational factors that influence caregiver and infant participation. This introductory course examines bonding, attachment, co-regulation, and co-occupations through a therapy lens. Participants will learn to recognize modifiable barriers and protective factors affecting the caregiver–infant relationship, observe the dyad within everyday occupations, identify when additional screening or referral may be appropriate, and apply attachment-informed, occupation-based strategies that support regulation, caregiver confidence, and opportunities for connection. This course is for an interprofessional audience.

Wearable Tech For Health Management In Autism And ADHD Across The Lifespan
Presented by Julia Colman, OTD, OTR/L, BCP, CCTS-I
Video
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.

Implicit Bias: Impact on Maternal Health in Minority Populations
Presented by Calista Kelly, PT, DPT, ACEEAA, Cert. MDT
Text
Course: #9663Level: Introductory1 Hour
This text course examines how implicit bias and structural racism contribute to disparities in maternal and infant health among minority populations in the United States. It defines and differentiates implicit and explicit bias, explains how bias forms and operates within clinical relationships and power differentials, and connects these forces to structural racism and to documented patterns of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. Learners explore the most recent national data on these disparities, including the populations at highest and least visible risk, and the everyday clinical moments where bias is most likely to influence care. The course then turns to practical, evidence-informed strategies that individuals, teams, and systems can use to recognize and reduce the impact of bias and structural racism on childbearing patients and their infants. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience.

Elder Abuse: Not Just Physical, Consider Online Safety
Presented by Ingrid Provident, EdD, OTR/L, FAOTA
VideoAudio
Course: #7025Level: Introductory1 Hour
This presentation explores the rapidly evolving landscape of online risks that disproportionately affect older adults, including scams, misinformation, and privacy breaches. It provides senior therapy leaders with practical frameworks for educating patients, families, and staff about digital safety. Emphasis is placed on proactive prevention strategies and organizational policies that protect vulnerable seniors in increasingly digital care environments. Internet safety for seniors in residential settings has become a core patient safety and quality-of-care issue, not a peripheral technology concern. Older adults are disproportionately targeted by online fraud, identity theft, misinformation, and financial exploitation. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience.

OTPs' Role in the Secondary Education Transition Process
Presented by Sheryl Zellis, OTD, MS, OTR/L
Live WebinarThu, Oct 15, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #7026Level: Intermediate1.5 Hours
This course focuses on an underutilized area of occupational therapy (OT) practice within school-based practice. This is supported by current peer-reviewed research. There are significant disparities between post-secondary education students with disabilities and their non-disabled peers. Very few students with disabilities receive school-based OT after age 13. The course uses a case vignette to demonstrate the unique contributions the occupational therapy practitioner (OTP) member of the secondary transition Individual Education Plan (IEP) team can make to improve post-secondary outcomes for people with intellectual disabilities.

Chronic Pain Support For Children And Adolescents
Presented by Christina Marsack-Topolewski, PhD, LMSW
Video
Course: #7118Level: Introductory1 Hour
Children and adolescents with chronic pain often experience difficulties participating in daily occupations, including self-care, school, play, and social activities. Chronic pain can also be associated with co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, fatigue, and sleep disturbances, further impacting function. Occupational therapy practitioners play a key role in addressing these challenges through the use of interventions to support participation, manage symptoms, and improve overall quality of life. This course was designed for an interprofessional audience.
