What sensory ideas do I have to offer that blogs don’t?
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.
This one-hour presentation will address Occupational Therapy's role in working with people with epilepsy. It will discuss the broad impact epilepsy creates including cognitive, psychosocial, and society barriers. As well as, barriers Occupational Therapist's face to working with individuals who have epilepsy as their primary or sole diagnosis. We will discuss examples of other states' and institutions' involvement of OT, PT, and SLP as part of a comprehensive team for people with epilepsy and ask what next steps we can take as a profession and state to ensure necessary services are provided to those in need. This course will also provide seizure first aid in a variety of settings.
Epilepsy's Foundation of Michigan's Director of Education Russ Derry will be co-presenting with Occupational Therapist and Epilepsy Advocate N.J. Phillips. This session will be recorded.
In spite of the ongoing pandemic, Eastern Michigan University’s occupational therapy students were granted the invaluable opportunity to engage in live virtual level I pediatric fieldwork with an after school program designed to support children attending public school in the surrounding area. OT student groups of 3-4 students ran 45 minute telehealth intervention sessions for 8 weeks. Prior to starting fieldwork, students received 5 weeks of preparation including readings, demonstrations, discussions and reflections. Students then planned and implemented virtual therapy sessions including goal development, skilled observation, communication, core activities teaching or enhancing social-emotional skills, self-regulation/coping activities, documentation and reflection. The final two weeks of the semester included reflective presentations. In this session, you will learn how to create and establish a faculty led fieldwork experience such as this one; learn from our successes and challenges; and hear the student perspective regarding this style of programming.
Occupational Therapists (OT) provide sensory-based interventions to referred clients with sensory processing challenges that interfere with participation in occupation who possess payment options. Nevertheless, OT's can enhance the access to these services to a broader population of through focusing on changing actions within the profession and perception external to the profession. Examples of internal professional development can include: improving the quality of service provision through completing advanced training beyond the initial educational experience, keeping up to date with evidence-based practice and adhering to AOTA Choosing Wisely recommendations for sensory related intervention. An examination of our billing and documentation strategies for sensory-based intervention in light of ethical-based billing principles may also enhance access for clients who are experiencing financial barriers. Educating our target audience external to the profession such as clients, caregivers, referral sources, and legislative representative can correct and update sensory processing information and understanding, developing partners in advocacy efforts.

School based practice is changing rapidly as cost cutting and evidence-based demands intersect with school practice. School based occupational therapy practitioners straddle both the medical and educational model. Technology is changing and impacting student's means of expressing themselves in written and verbal communication. This session will be a come and share session where the presenter and participants can share some of their favorite treatment ideas and successes or problem areas that need a solution. Be prepared to share and problem solve.
Treatment of food selectivity requires a holistic approach to address both the internal reasons for food avoidance and the food refusal behavior. This session outlines the theoretical foundations and treatment elements of the Just Right Challenge Feeding Protocol. In addition, a method for tracking progress will be discussed in the context of making treatment decisions. Single subject data provides information about how a group of children progress through treatment. Children in this study had 15 or less foods as part of their regular diets and profiles indicating the presence of sensory over-responsivity. Every 5-10 weeks, each child moved up one step in the Food Interaction Hierarchy (e.g. touch, taste, eat). Significant increases in vegetable and fruit acceptance and mealtime quality were obtained and parent compliance on home program assignments is outlined. This information is valuable for guiding clinical reasoning and future research of treatment for food selectivity.
