Dressing And Sensory Over-Responsivity: A Guide For OTPs
Presented by Kathryn Hamlin-Pacheco, MS, OTR/L, ASDCS
VideoText
Course: #6921Level: Introductory1 Hour
Many children have dressing challenges due to tactile defensiveness, with morning meltdowns, refusals, and a wardrobe that is limited to a few items. Tagless clothing and seamless fabrics offer adaptive ways to wear clothing, but how can we support these kids in actually improving their ability to wear clothing successfully? This course applies neuroscience and outlines eight approaches to support children in understanding the feeling of clothing and wearing them successfully.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome: What Occupational Therapy Practitioners Should Know!
Presented by Scott Cheatham, PhD, DPT, OCS, ATC, CSCS
VideoText
Course: #6959Level: Intermediate2 Hours
Postural orthostatic hypotension syndrome (POTS) is an autonomic dysregulation condition characterized by excessive tachycardia upon standing in the presence of orthostatic intolerance. POTS is becoming more recognized across populations, including active individuals and athletes. The occupational therapy practitioner needs to have a comprehensive understanding of the recognition and management of this condition. This discussion covers the latest research and management strategies on this emerging topic.

Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT) And Occupational Therapy
Presented by Gina Taylor, MS, OTR/L, HPCS

Course: #6992Level: Introductory1 Hour
As interest in psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) grows within mental health care, this introductory course, explicitly developed for OTPs, provides an overview of the basic phases of PAT and clarifies where occupational therapy skills may appropriately contribute outside of medication administration. Participants will review key legal considerations, explore the scope of practice, ethical boundaries, and foundational OT skills such as sensory aspects, occupational integration, and environmental concerns to support informed awareness and professional clarity.

The Executive Brain: Support Strategies For Autism Spectrum Disorder And ADHD
Presented by Cara Koscinski, OTD, MOT, OTR/L, CAS
Live WebinarThu, May 28, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #7056Level: Intermediate2 Hours
This two-hour virtual course examines executive function through an interoception-informed, state-based lens, emphasizing that access to executive skills depends on nervous system readiness rather than motivation or compliance. Participants will explore how neurological up- and down-regulation influence executive access and how movement serves as a primary pathway for organizing state, supporting attention, and preparing the brain for cognitive demand. Using The Executive Function Express framework and its Move the Train to Build the Brain strategies, the course demonstrates how purposeful, developmentally appropriate movement can stabilize the “tracks” needed for planning, initiation, flexibility, and follow-through. A strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach is emphasized throughout, guiding participants to shift from behavior-focused interpretations to interventions that build capacity, access, and self-trust.
