Sensory integrative processing is foundational to how we learn about our bodies, engage with the environment, interact with others, make meaning out of activities, produce motor responses, and participate in learning. It also has direct links with our regulation and influences our behavior. Yet, deciphering sensory integrative processing-- and the 8 sensory systems that includes-- can be quite challenging. What does sensory integrative processing actually involve? Why is it so vital for behavior responses, emotional regulation, and learning? How can you better understand and influence the sensory integrative processing needs of students, and yourself, to provide occupational therapy services? In our time together we will explore these questions and many more so you will be better equipped to recognize nuances of sensory differences, how a student's emotional regulation holds the key to understanding sensory differences, provide accommodations and adaptations for students with various sensory needs, and utilize another tool by which to view behavior! < Back Applying Sensory Integrative Services & Accommodations in Schools Presented by: Jamie Chaves, OTD, OTR/L, SWC Attend live on August 21, 2024 or watch on demand the next day Join OTS Collab & Earn CEUs Learn more about OTS Collab Course Description Sensory integrative processing is foundational to how we learn about our bodies, engage with the environment, interact with others, make meaning out of activities, produce motor responses, and participate in learning.

Sensory modulation, defined as the ability to respond appropriately to sensory information and remain at an appropriate level of alertness, is critical for academic and social success. Research shows that modulation is a skill that can be taught. When viewed within a larger educational framework, sensory modulation is seen as a component of emotional regulation and social-emotional learning. This webinar covers the evidence supporting instruction in sensory modulation, basic concepts and terminology to be used in this instruction, and a specific curriculum available to ensure success in this endeavor. < Back Just Right!

Make the shift to a workload model in the school-based setting with this AOTA-approved guided workshop. Making The Shift: Caseload to Workload An interactive workshop to help you get the support you need and move to a workload approach in as little as 4 weeks. Self-paced CEU Course + Live Q+A Get instant access Course + Mentorship "I Feel Confident..." "This course has given me the appropriate tools and skills to transition from a caseload to a workload approach. I feel confident in collecting and analyzing my data, problem solving solutions, and approaching administration for my needs using my data." - Ashley Hartley, OTR/L - Learn the process necessary to get the support you need Research has shown that over 60% of school-based OT practitioners feel that their caseload is not reasonable (Seruya & Garfinkle, 2020). Likewise, 55% reported being unable to fulfill the required service minutes mandated on their students' IEPs. In 2018, I found myself in this exact situation. My caseload of nearly 60 kids led me to have more service minutes per week than I could handle. Between evals, meetings, and trying to keep up on notes, my log of missed therapy sessions just kept growing. That's when I knew I needed to do something. Rather than continue with the status quo and be okay with missed therapy sessions, I created a plan to get the help I needed. I knew it wouldn't happen overnight, but I had to start somewhere. Four months (and way too many missed sessions) later, my plan had worked. I collected my data, showed my supervisor that my caseload was unmanageable, and received additional support in the form of a contracted therapist helping to see my students on my caseload. Unfortunately, very few OT practitioners have had the same success in trying to get the support they need. With this course, you will get a step-by-step guide to understanding your current caseload and using that data to make changes in your school. You will learn how your administrators think about your caseload and how you can collaborate with them to support not only yourself but also the entire school. In this course, I will walk you through every step of the process, from collecting data on your caseload to sharing solution-driven ideas with your administrators. Ready? Let's go! Get instant access Course + Mentorship What you'll learn in this course Hint: Your Workload is more than the students you see each week. Through this action-oriented course, you'll complete the necessary steps to get the support you need. I will be by your side as you identify your workload, gather data, create a plan, and present your plan to administrators. We'll do this together! Understand Caseloads & Workloads You likely already know how many kids are on your caseload. But do you know how long it takes each week to complete your job? We'll look at research and data to determine what an average workload looks like among school-based OT practitioners. Identify Your Workload Once we have a baseline for what a workload should look like, we'll make a plan to identify YOUR unique workload. Do you partake in RTI, recess duty, and evals? All of these must be considered in your workload plan. Gather Workload Data Now that we know what to measure, it is time to gather data. I will guide you through this process with a plan and easy-to-use spreadsheets to help you track your time and identify how many hours it really takes you to see every student on your caseload. Make The Change This is where things get fun. I will help you to create a plan that both you and your administrators can agree on. With your workload data in hand, you'll feel confident sharing the results with your supervisor. I'll even provide you the template for putting it all together. Maintain Your Progress Many believe that making the shift to a workload model is a one-time deal. They're half-right. Once you make the shift, it takes some yearly data collection to prevent reverting to the ways of a stressed caseload model. You'll learn how you and your team and maintain your workload progress for the long term as we wrap up the course together. LEARN WITH JAYSON ⤵ Here's what you get with the Make The Shift: Caseload to Workload Workshop! A detailed program to help you get the support you need. I will guide you through the process of showing your administrators that your caseload model is not working. During the workshop, I will support you in completing the three-step process I have used to shift my practice to a workload model and get support from my administrators. By the end of this course, you will be able to show your administrators why your caseload is not working and provide potential solutions for their consideration. Resources to save you time, energy, and headaches. You could spend hours developing your own templates and resources. Or you could use mine.

Caseload to Workload Workshop Curriculum Three action-oriented sections to help you make the shift! This is not a theory-heavy course. It is a workshop that will allow you to take action & make changes this school year! Part 1: Caselaod vs. Workloads It's a caseload world and we are all just living it. It doesn't have to be that way, though. In the first part of the course, we will define how a caseload differs from a workload, both in theory and in practice. I will show you real-life examples of various caseloads and workloads so you can better explain the differences to your OT team and supervisors. I will also share the research with you related to why we should be making the shift now! Our well-being and our students' outcomes depend on us making the shift. (50 minutes of lessons + 15 minutes of assignments) Part 2: Planning & Taking Action It's time to take action. We are going to complete four specific actions to fully understand your workload. We'll also look at your team's workload. Don't worry; I will help you get them on board with this, even if they are not all OTPs. By the end of Part 2, you will have a detailed analysis of how you spend your time at work to share with your administrator. You will also have the knowledge and tools to implement the shift. (130 minutes of lessons + 30 minutes of assignments) Part 3: Sticking with it! Unfortunately, if you don't continue to track your workload, it will get out of hand. That is why in part 3 I will provide you with the knowledge and tools to prevent you from moving back into a caseload model. Yes, it will take a little upkeep every year. But with every year, your workload will become more clear and your administrators will learn to appreciate what you have done for the OT department, if not the entire special education department. (15 minutes of lessons + 10 minutes of assignments) How I make it easy for you Using pre-recorded videos with slides, accessible online tools, and hands-on assignments designed to facilitate your learning experience, I will make it easy for you to make the shift to a workload model at your school sites. Most video lessons are less than 30 minutes in length. Vital lessons are paired with action item assignments that will directly assist you in making the shift. If you start today, you can make the shift to a workload model in as little as 4-6 weeks. I'm ready to help you get there, so let's go!

My name is Jayson Davies, and I have been supporting students and teachers as a school-based OT for over a decade. Now, I support school-based OT practitioners in implementing best practices. So, if you are looking to support your students and teachers while saving yourself time and energy, look no further. Since graduating from OT School in 2012, I have been neck-deep in school-based occupational therapy. I've worked as a contracted therapist in a large suburban district as the newest therapist in a department of more than 15 OT practitioners. I've also worked as a district employee in a rural area where I was one of only two OT practitioners - myself and an OTA. From those experiences, I have learned a lot, like how to collaborate with teachers and develop educationally relevant goals. I've also been in my fair share of challenging situations with caseloads that are too high to allow for effective therapy services. From those experiences, I have learned how to track, evaluate, and communicate with administrators how high caseloads impact the entire school. More importantly, I have taught thousands of OT practitioners just like you how to best ethically support students, which includes advocating for the time you need to implement best practices. Now, I look forward to helping you do the same. Let's get started on shifting your school to a workload model today! How this program sets you up for success It's much more than just a course I know all too well how intimidating it can be to ask for help from a supervisor. When you work at schools with limited resources and mentorship, you almost feel guilty asking for the smallest amount of support. That's why, after many years of impossible caseloads, denied help requests, and even biting my tongue when I had something to say, I created this course for every school-based OT practitioner who is experiencing the same things I have. This course is not a "quick fix" to your caseload concerns. It is an action-oriented workshop designed to help you one step at a time. In addition to the steps laid out above, you'll also receive the following supports: Editable Templates As a course participant, you will receive access to all of the handouts, editable templates, and made-for-you spreadsheets that I created while making my own shift from a caseload to a workload model. I've also added a few extras I wish I would have had while making the shift, as well. Live Office Hours With Jayson I share a lot about caseloads and workloads in this course, but I know you are going to have questions unique to your situation. That is why I set time aside every month to answer your questions live in a private Zoom session. During office hours, I will be available to answer your situation questions directly and thoroughly. Community Support Not only will you have full access to the course content, but you will also be welcomed into the Private OT Schoolhouse Learner Center, where Jayson and other like-minded professionals are available to answer case-specific questions. There is no judgment in our group, just plenty of helpful support! Course Objectives We'll cover each of these objectives in a logical way to bring them all into focus for you. By the end of this course, you will be able to: Identify how a caseload model differs from a workload model. Recall research related to occupational therapy and using a workload approach. Appraise your current caseload and workload and distinguish how it is impacting your practice. Create a plan for moving to a workload approach and maintaining it. This course has been structured to make each learning objective easy to learn and implement into your practice as you work through it. After all, what good is knowledge you can't use? You get it all!

But what is the LRE, and how do we determine where and with what frequency OT services should take place? This one-hour workshop will discuss how the LRE became a prominent factor in public schools. We will also look into what factors play a role in determining services in the LRE for students and how OTPs can determine what services to recommend to an IEP team to ensure students are receiving OT services in the LRE.  As part of this course, participants will receive handouts to help them determine services for their students going forward. < Back Services in the Least Restrictive Environment Presented by: Jayson Davies, MA, OTR/L Watch on-demand and earn AOTA-Approved CEUs Join OTS Collab & Earn CEUs Learn more about OTS Collab Course Description As occupational therapy providers working in public education schools, IDEA requires that we provide services in the least restrictive environment (LRE).
