Why can’t wall push-ups just be consistently alerting or consistently calming?
Is this SPD or did this student just play video games all night?
If you have asked yourself any questions like this, join us for reflections from a creative Upper Peninsula OT, shared to inspire conversation about what is and is not working for sensory supports in schools. This presentation is not going to share any life-changing, fix-all hacks, but is intended to get participants thinking. Emily has the ten main points which are based on her three years as a school-based OT. Pairing resources, research and humor, this presentation will present as part “work diary” entry and part literature review. Discussion will be an important part of this session. Emily has the ten main points, you all have experiences and training to share. Let’s learn together.
If you are working with students (of any age) who struggle with reading, writing, or accessing classroom materials or the curriculum, join me to learn about tools & strategies to support student’s ability to be a more autonomous learner. This is an interactive and dynamic presentation. Be ready to explore tools and have some fun.

Participants will learn 1) anatomy of the brachial plexus (Limthongthang, Bachoura, Songcharoen & Osterman, 2013) 2) types of nerve injury and rate of nerve recovery (Sakellariou et al., 2014) 3) current evidence based interventions (Cole et al., 2020) and 4) importance of inter-professional collaboration (Wellington & McGeehan, 2015).
OT’s can play a role in the re-socialization of interpersonal relations by harnessing the power of social media to support engagement in meaningful occupations and promote functional socialization for the betterment of society. This presentation will discuss how OT’s can be trained as an asset to big tech companies in interventions to adapt the current social media landscape to support functional socialization.
According to the American Optometric Association, 25% of all children, or 1 in 4 students, have a vision problem significant enough to impact their learning (Lazarus, 2020). Visual perceptual difficulties can impact adolescents throughout development, including areas of academic success, leisure/sporting events, and community integration/driving. These deficits are often misdiagnosed, leading to prolonged performance deficits, reduced self-esteem, and limited participation in meaningful and purposeful occupations. Using a case study approach, this presentation assists the occupational therapist to identify visual deficits and provides functional and targeted treatment approaches as well as appropriate service line referrals to maximize independence and safety in IADL tasks of community integration, leisure, and academic success.
