Are they reliant on prizes or adults to be motivated to accomplish tasks? Learned helplessness is a big problem for many children and there is a better way! This course will offer concrete strategies that can be included in current therapy interventions to help clients grow up into self-determined adults. In addition to getting them engaged and motivated, higher levels of self-determination are correlated with positive school, employment and independent living outcomes. Learning Objectives 1. Learners will identify whether observable characteristics on a given case study demonstrate learned helplessness or self-determination. 2. Learners will apply 3 self-determination strategies on a given case study to support a child who is struggling with learned helplessness. 3. Learners will compare 3 self-determination strategies to promote participation in education, ADLs, play and leisure, and other meaningful activities. Your Instructor Amy Coopersmith, OTD, OTR/L; MA Ed Amy Coopersmith, OTD, OTR/L; MA Ed, is a self-determination advocate with over 30 years of experience as a pediatric occupational therapist and teacher. As a school-based practitioner in New York City, she worked as a clinician, evaluator and supervisor serving over 100 schools. Amy noticed that the child-led teaching methods she used during her years as an educator made a big difference in children’s lives. She implemented those ideas as an occupational therapist and found that children made faster progress and demonstrated greater motivation and engagement using these methods. Author of the Self-Determination Strategies Toolkit and the Captain Me program for young children, Amy strives to teach practitioners and educators how to implement evidence-informed strategies to promote children’s autonomy. Amy earned her doctorate from Temple University in 2022, where she conducted a research study on children’s self-determination. She continues to present at national conferences, mentor practitioners, and develop new materials to translate research into effective practice. Contact Hours This course is 1 hour in length.

Session Information Transitioning to a Collaborative Approach in the Schools Presenter: Jayson Davies, MA, OTR/L We've all had kids that do great when one-on-one with us in the OT room, but those strategies that we worked on so intently in our OT sessions just don't translate over to the classroom. This causes frustration among us, the teacher, and maybe even the student. In this session, we will review research about collaboration in OT and education so we know where we can make adjustments in our goal and treatment planning. We will also look at specific ways to collaborate so you can have an immediate impact on your students in the 2022-23 school year. Objectives: Identify key research outcomes related to collaborative practices in educational settings. Express the steps to building a collaborative relationship with professionals Identify at least 3 ways in which OT practitioners can collaborate with other professionals in school-based OT Create an action plan to collaborate more in your school-based OT practice. Functional Vestibulo-Ocular Skills in The School Setting Sponsored by LegiLiner Presenter: Karin Hessellund Warner, MOT OTR/L Do you feel comfortable with evaluating and reporting on functional oculomotor skills? This class will provide the necessary knowledge of how the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) impacts functional ocular motor skills in the school setting. Understanding and being able to evaluate the VOR helps to ease report writing and treatment planning when addressing visual deficits. The use of videos, pictures and case studies will help create a well-rounded understanding of the VOR and ocular motility. Clinicians will improve the way they gather and assess for visual information. Objectives: Examine the Vestibular-Ocular Reflex and the impact on eye and head control. Interpret the role of the Cerebellum in Eye Control. Analyze the impact of Visual Deficits in the School Setting. Implement Functional Treatment ideas to address Vestibulo-ocular deficits. Maximizing occupational therapists' role within a multidisciplinary team when delivering sensory interventions in the school setting. Presenter: Genna Espinoza, OTD, OTR/L Occupational Therapists have a distinct role within the multidisciplinary team in the school setting in helping children with sensory processing concerns. You will learn about how sensory processing challenges may influence learning and participation within the school setting. This program will present evidence-based information in providing client-centered support when a child is presenting with sensory processing concerns. We will examine how gathering information through a collaborative approach throughout the occupational therapy school process improves student outcomes. Objectives: Identify the Sensory Systems and the challenges poor processing can cause. Identify how sensory processing challenges may influence the child’s school day. Acknowledge the differences in treatment approaches based on various theories. Express strategies to help gather information for a comprehensive evaluation Identify tactics to enhance your collaboration skills in a multidisciplinary team in the school setting. Occupational Therapy and the Transition Age Student Presenter: Justin Lundstedt, OTR/L It is imperative to understand the importance of occupational therapy and how it coincides with a young adult's transition out of high school. This program will recognize the importance of how the identification of strengths, interests, and goals are so important for high school students yet often when working with students with increased academic needs they get overlooked and the focus becomes on deficits, limitations, and ability to be directed by others. This session will cover how to provide an intervention to students who are working towards the transition out of school. As an OT, it is our job to prepare them for developing the skills necessary to succeed and achieve their self-identified goals. In this manner, we can further their lives and break the barriers related to unemployment, underemployment, and lack of independent living statistics. The program will discuss the importance of our continued role in transition planning as “transition plans” are constructed to look at the whole child, identify strengths and needs, and adjust/set goals accordingly. This is our overall role as OTs, to begin with. In this session we will discuss the transition fro “life skills’ students, “prevocational” students, and “academic / post-secondary school students.” Objectives: Participants will identify an OT’s role for the transitioning student Participants will define the meaning of a transition-age student. Participants will recognize the different pathways OTP’s can focus on student expectations for the transitioning student. OT’s Role in Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Presenter: Kim Wiggins, OTR/L Social and emotional learning (SEL) is essential to human development and helps create a positive learning environment for all students. Many school districts are establishing systemic, schoolwide approaches to SEL. Therefore, it is important for school-based occupational therapy practitioners to understand their role in implementing SEL within therapy sessions or as members of the school team. SEL is required for successful participation in most areas of occupational performance and falls well within the scope of occupational therapy. This webinar will provide you with specific strategies to address SEL within your current role immediately. Objectives: Participants will identify 5 areas of SEL and the role of the OT Participants will delineate OT strategies relevant to SEL that are appropriate at each of the three tiers of intervention. Participants will identify how social emotional learning may be impacted by sensory over- and under-responders responsiveness (CO-OP) Principles for Collaboration Presenter: Lara Barros, OTD, OTR/L Collaboration is key in the enabling of participation and occupation in the school setting. The principles of the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance™ (CO-OP) will be used to frame collaborative school-based OT. We will uncover the Goal, Plan, Do, & Check systems that allow us as therapists to support our students and helping them reach their unique goals. Objectives: Participants will identify the global cognitive strategy used by the CO-OP Approach. Participants will identify the principles underlying the CO-OP Approach. Participants will recognize how using the CO-OP principles supports collaboration in the school system. Register now to ensure access to each of the 6 amazing sessions! Secure your Spot! - $299 Audience & Education Level The OT Schoolhouse Back To School Conference is intended for current school-based occupational therapy practitioners. Sessions will contain beginner and intermediate level knowledge and may contain language and practices specific to school-based occupational therapy. There are no prerequisite courses required, but one should have a general understanding of OT in the schools. Conference Theme 2022 Conference Theme Expanding Collaborative Practices in School-Based OT We have all attended a team meeting for a student where no one seems to be on the same page. The teacher is focused on the need to work on math skills, the speech therapist is focused on social communication, and the parent wants to see their child learn to read. In that scenario, offering a handwriting goal may cause more harm than good. That is why at the Back To School Conference, we are focusing on implementing occupational therapy from a collaborative approach. Sessions will focus on how you can work with the parents, teachers, and other providers to improve student outcomes. From goals to therapy, we need to get on the same page! Session Handouts & Replays For each conference session, handouts will be made available to download and print prior to the start of the conference . After registering and 1-week prior to the conference, you will be able to download and print the slide and supplemental materials in the conference Portal. The attendee portal will also host replays of each conference session for 60 days. As a registered attendee of the summit, you will have access to the conference handouts, session video replays, and course commubnity until October 26, 2022.

Thank you for your interest in the Gray-Space Notebook! Since you have already subscribed to our email list, you know what our Gray-Space paper is and how it can help your students succeed in meeting their handwriting goals. Now, we are taking it to the next level to help those students who struggle by introducing the Fading Gray-Space Notebook . Just like the original documents you received when you subscribed to the email list, this notebook is designed to help your students improve the sizing, spacing, and placement of letters on the line as they use it in their classroom. Check out this video as a refresher and an extra tip for assisting your students. ON THE FIRST PAGE SMALL TALL AND TAIL AS A REFERENCE - I COULD HAVE ADDED THIS TO THE BOOK, BUT I BELIEVE IN LEARNING BY DOING AND THE APPRECIAtION OF SELF-CREATION FOR KIDS So here's a quick recap of the components embedded in this notebook that will help your students: ?? gray-scale pages designed to help your students size, space, and place their letters and words in a legible manner. 1/2" lined paper with a dashed midline throughout the entire notebook. 1/2" lined paper is used by most 1st to 3rd-grade classroom teachers. This is also perfect for students who require extra support for handwriting in all grades. The portion of each line from the dashed midline down to the baseline is 1/4" and fades from a pronounced gray shade on page one, to absolutely no gray in the final section of the notebook. Just like the gray fades, so do the tick marks that help your students space their letters and words. With 20 individual spaces for letters on each line, your students will be able to write an average of 4-5 words per line. Pages can be torn from the spiral binding, but we recommend leaving them in so that your student can see the progress they have made. Order Now! Here's the deal, Just like we said in the email, we are ready to produce and ship out these notebooks as soon as we get a total of 50 units ordered. So now is that part where I ask you to click the "order now" button if, and only if, you are thinking of or can think of a student who would greatly benefit from this notebook. At the end of the day, we (Jayson and Abby) are here to help students succeed. All students have different needs and we hope to have a way that can help them, but if not, we understand.
