Promoting Regulation For All Students
Presented by Tere Bowen-Irish, OTR/L
Video
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.

Interoception For The Older Adult
Presented by Ingrid Provident, EdD, OTR/L, FAOTA
Video
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.

Cultural Contexts in Pediatric Feeding is a continuing education course designed to help healthcare professionals apply culturally responsive clinical reasoning when supporting children and families with feeding concerns. The course explores how culture, family routines, food traditions, caregiver beliefs, access, sensory preferences, and participation demands shape pediatric feeding routines and intervention planning. Participants will learn to identify relevant contextual factors, distinguish culturally based feeding practices from clinical concerns, and develop family-centered recommendations that support safe, functional, respectful, and meaningful mealtime participation. The course also emphasizes the value of interprofessional collaboration in delivering culturally responsive, family-centered feeding services.

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.
