Interoception For The Older Adult
Presented by Ingrid Provident, EdD, OTR/L, FAOTA
Live WebinarTue, Aug 25, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT
Course: #7024Level: Introductory1 Hour
Interoception, a key indicator of how we feel, can be broadly defined as the sensations arising from signals originating within the body. As such, interoception is critical for our sense of embodiment, motivation, and well-being. Despite its importance, interoception remains poorly understood within modern science. Interoceptive sensitivity has been found to be associated with affect and cognition. As a person ages, the processes by which one senses, interprets, integrates, and regulates signals from within oneself change. This presentation will overview Interoception, the perception and interpretation of internal body signals, such as heartbeat, hunger, and respiratory rate, and present evidence-based findings as to how this “sixth sense” impacts illness or health. Interoception serves as our internal barometer, guiding our responses to the environment based on our body’s needs and physiologic state. This course is designed for an interprofessional audience.

Promoting Regulation For All Students
Presented by Tere Bowen-Irish, OTR/L
Live WebinarThu, Aug 27, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #7078Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Self-regulation is an essential ability to navigating daily life, shifting, adjusting, and flowing. In the context of school-based intervention, we often address those students who are "over the top". But what about the other 95%? A therapist may often pick up subtle dysregulation cues that can escalate into behaviors that don't aid classroom access. This seminar is about foundational abilities, based on development and sometimes diagnosis, that may upset the flow of the classroom. Let's look at the unique consultative, point-of-performance, and classroom management ideas we can offer in a Tier 1 or Tier 2 approach. This course is for an interdisciplinary audience.

Maximizing Aquatic Equipment: Tools Of The Trade For OT And PT
Presented by Andrea Salzman, MS, PT
Live WebinarTue, Sep 1, 2026 at 6:00 pm EDT
Course: #7166Level: Intermediate2 Hours
This course examines clinical decision-making related to the selection, application, and progression of aquatic therapy equipment across rehabilitation populations and age groups. Content focuses on how commonly used tools—such as flotation devices, resistance equipment, mats, boards, and pool jets—alter support, resistance, instability, and sensory input to influence posture, balance, gait, and strength training. Participants will explore how aquatic equipment can be intentionally dosed and progressed to support therapeutic goals while maintaining patient safety and meaningful transfer to land-based interventions. This course was designed 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.

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.
