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

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.

The Science Of Regulation: Bridging Brain, Body, And Function In Pediatric Therapy
Presented by Audrie Vantangoli, MOT, OTD, OTR/L
VideoText
Course: #7036Level: Introductory1 Hour
This training introduces participants to the foundations of self‑regulation and how the brain and body work together during moments of stress, frustration, or overwhelm that often impact functional performance. Through practical strategies, real‑life examples, and reflective activities, learners explore ways to implement interventions that support clients in managing emotional, behavioral, and sensory responses. The session emphasizes strengths‑based, trauma‑informed approaches that support resilience, flexible thinking, and effective participation across daily routines.

Pediatric Bilingual-Learner Primer For Therapists
Presented by Tara Konradi, OTD, OTR/L
VideoText
Course: #6978Level: Introductory2 Hours
This introductory course provides a practical foundation for therapists working with bilingual pediatric populations. Learners will examine how cultural and linguistic factors influence functional performance—from sensory processing to executive function—while gaining actionable strategies for culturally responsive assessment and intervention. Perfect for clinicians new to bilingual practice, this session emphasizes reducing bias and fostering meaningful participation across all environments.

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.

Occupational Therapy Services In Special Education
Presented by Megan Parsley, COTA/L
Text
Course: #6934Level: Introductory1 Hour
This course will discuss collaboration with classroom teachers and the incorporation of sensory strategies within a supportive environment. The collaborative model, including collaborative consultation and multitiered systems of support, will be reviewed.

Feeding Interventions With Allergy Considerations
Presented by Kristen Tompkins, OTR/L
VideoText
Course: #6935Level: Introductory1 Hour
This course provides a unique look at the treatment area of feeding disorders, with a particular focus on consideration of allergies and their impact on children who may be labeled "picky eaters" or as having "sensory defensiveness."

Creating a “Sensory Safe” Evacuation Plan
Presented by Kathryn Hamlin-Pacheco, MS, OTR/L, ASDCS
VideoAudioText
Course: #6619Level: Intermediate1 Hour
As the risk of natural disasters continues to rise and threaten the well-being of all people, individuals with Sensory Processing Disorders face specific challenges that may impede their ability to evacuate to safety. This course provides clinicians with an in-depth look at these challenges and the tools needed to help clients develop a “Sensory-Safe” evacuation plan.

The Role Of Sensory Modulation With Social And Emotional Learning In School-Based Therapy
Presented by Kim Wiggins, OTR/L
Video
Course: #6466Level: Intermediate2 Hours
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is essential to human development and helps create a positive learning environment for all students. Many school districts are establishing systemic, schoolwide approaches to SEL. Therefore, school-based occupational therapy practitioners need to understand their role in implementing SEL within therapy sessions or as school team members. SEL is required for successful participation in most areas of occupational performance and falls well within the scope of occupational therapy. This webinar will immediately provide you with specific strategies to address SEL within your current role.

Contextual Adaptations For The Neurodivergent Client: Pediatric Acute Care Virtual Conference
Presented by Julia Colman, OTD, OTR/L, BCP
VideoText
Course: #6301Level: Intermediate1 Hour
The challenges neurodivergent children face in hospital settings are well documented by medical researchers, healthcare professionals, and autistic and/or ADHD individuals, themselves. Despite this, hospital personnel often fail to consider the unique sensory and communication needs of many neurodivergent children. Occupational therapy practitioners can improve outcomes by utilizing neurodiversity-affirming principles and advocating for more sensory-friendly hospital environments.
