- Promoting Participation and Health During Recess and Extracurricular Leisure Activities
Non-academic times of the school day, can be significant contributors to student mental and physical health. Conditions that promote positive mental health include participation in enjoyable activities within caring environments that foster positive emotions (Fredrickson & Joiner, 2018). When students participate in and enjoy healthy recess and after-school leisure activities, have good friends, and perceive school personnel to be supportive, they feel more connected to school which, in turn, enhances academic performance. The aims of this session are to provide detailed information about how to implement the Refreshing Recess (RR) programs emphasizing inclusive participation, friendship promotion, mealtime conversations, healthy eating, and active play; and describe a tiered approach to Making Leisure Matter during after-school times. OTPs will be able to use the Every Moment Counts website to implement Refreshing Recess and promote leisure participation within a tiered model. < Back Promoting Participation and Health During Recess and Extracurricular Leisure Activities Presented by: Susan Bazyk, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA Attend live on May 15, 2024 or watch on demand the next day Join OTS Collab & Earn CEUs Learn more about OTS Collab Course Description Non-academic times of the school day, can be significant contributors to student mental and physical health.

Send me a quick email & I will add you! Hi, I'm Jayson & I am a School-Based OT You and I, w e can both be great school-based practitioners! My name is Jayson Davies, and over the past decade I have worked closely with all kinds of professionals in the educational realm to better understand occupational therapy in the educational world. I even started the OT School House Podcast in 2017 so I could converse with more school-based OTs and help OTs around the world better understand SBOT. All of these experiences has led me to helping more therapists through the creation of this very course! As an OT practitioner looking to improve yourself as a therapist, you may be hoping to become a more thorough evaluator. Or perhaps you are curious about learning how to incorporate a Response to Intervention (RTI) program as a way to slow down your growing evaluation list & caseload. You may want to learn how to move from your evaluation, through the IEP process, and into the fun part where you get to work with the kids! If that is the case, the A-Z School-based OT course is right for you! We are going to walk through the process of being a therapist in an educational world. We will start with creating an RTI program and only continue form there into referrals, evaluations, PLOPs & goal planning, and then on to services. From there, we will look at effecting planing to help manage the ever growing OT caseload and the ethical graduation of students with OT. Unfortunately, OT programs do not yet put enough focus on school-based OT despite estimates that 20-25% of OTs and OTAs work in the educational realm. Likewise, continuing education courses tend to focus on individual treatment models as opposed to the systems and educational aspects of school-based OT. The A-Z School-Based OT course is designed to teach you how to support students through effective RTI strategies, thorough and efficient evaluations, efficient SMART-E goals, treatment planning for success, and providing services in the least restrictive environment. I hope you will join me today and start down the path to fully understanding school-based OT and how we can efficiently and effectively help more students!

This Goal Bank is NOT designed for teachers, administrators, parents, or others looking to replace occupational therapy services from a licensed and/or registered OT professional. Will professional development be AOTA-approved? All live and recorded professional development courses are AOTA-approved. Podcast Courses are the exception. They will not be approved for AOTA credit, but you can still earn a certificate of completion. As a reminder, NBCOT and most states do not require courses to be approved by AOTA. Be sure to check your state guidelines. How many goals are in the goal bank? As of 1/1/2024, there are more than 25 goals in the bank and we aim to add 5 new goals each month.

Can I earn professional development from the podcast or CEU courses without being a Collab member? Some OT Schoolhouse podcast episodes and individual CEU courses may be available outside of the Collaborative. However, membership provides the most consistent, cost-effective way to earn school-based professional development while staying current with evidence and best practices. How will I find the goals I need? We group the goals by skill (ex. Handwriting, sensory, executive function, etc.). However, you can also use our seacrh bar to find a goal the works for you. There is also a Bookmark feature available for you to easily find the goals you most frequently use. Is there a cost to joining The Collab? Yes.

How much time does this community require? You can spend as much (or as little) time as you'd like in the community. All events are optional and recorded in case you'd like to watch them at a later time. We host three 1-hour live events each month on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. One of the three events is a live AOTA-approved professional development course. Some members attend each of the three live events and post or comment in the community a few times a week. Other members attend some of the events and occasionally post in the community. You get to choose what works best for you. What if I cannot find a goal to meet my needs? Oh no, that wouldn't be good. While we cannot guarantee that we will have all the goals you will ever need. We can promise to help you write the goals you need. If you cannot find a goal to fit your needs, Use our Goal Request form to request a goal and add it to the bank. Share with us what you are thinking and we will work to create a new goal for you and the bank. What platform is used for OTS Collab? We did a ton of research on various membership platforms before making our choice. Ultimately, we chose Circle. Think of Circle as a cross between Facebook Groups and LinkedIn, but without the need to have a profile out in the open.
