This online workshop will provide an overview of key considerations of assessing and understanding the impact of postural asymmetries to prepare an equipment prescription for clients of any age. Live session dates: May 29 and 30, 2025 from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. (ET)

This two-day interactive workshop explores the presenter’s BEST (Body, Emotional, Sensory and Thinking) evidence-based interventions framework to co-create therapy plans with neurodivergent individuals that promote occupational participation.

This workshop will provide an opportunity for occupational therapy professionals in or interested in formal management activities to reflection upon the skills and tools they need to be successful in management positions.

This experiential workshop will expand occupational therapy professionals’ knowledge of theories and techniques that can have a positive impact on teaching self-regulation to children and adolescents. The principles of Universal Design for Learning and their application to teaching self-regulation will be introduced. Participants will learn how the relationship and application of Polyvagal theory, the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics, interoception, and sensory-enhanced movement contribute to the development of self-regulation skills. A variety of learning activities and discussions will be used to support participants in learning and experiencing evidence-based techniques to teach self-regulation to children and adolescents.

This one-day practical skills workshop will focus on what dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) skills are and how occupational therapists can best position themselves to teach them.

This workshop will provide an opportunity for occupational therapy professionals in or interested in formal management activities to reflection upon the skills and tools they need to be successful in management positions.

This webinar will provide an overview of applied behaviour analysis (ABA) and its evidence as an intervention with children. The controversies related to the use of ABA will also be discussed.

This two-part webinar series explores the intersection of sensory processing and executive function (EF) in children with regulatory challenges from a neurological and functional perspective. Part 2 overviews the QUEST Program (Joffe, 2022), an evidence-based intervention, building off the theoretical and neurological foundation provided in Part 1. Participants will be introduced to methods of assessment, a framework for therapy, and specific therapeutic activities that fit within this framework. Therapeutic use of self will be discussed within the context of a non-didactic, mentorship, attachment-based model. Participants will leave the webinar with practical ideas that they can take back to the clinic and incorporate for immediate use.

This two-part webinar series explores the intersection of sensory processing and executive function (EF) in children with regulatory challenges and overviews a novel therapy approach. Part 1 focuses on the underlying theoretical and neurological foundations that underlie this evidence-based approach. During this hour, participants will develop a working definition of EF along with its relationship to the key occupational performance areas addressed in pediatric practice. Multiple examples of the neurological relationship between the EF and sensory processing systems will be described to help elucidate the many ways in which these systems are intrinsically interconnected. The theoretical foundation of the QUEST Program (Joffe, 2022) will also be described.

This webinar will provide an overview of the presenter's recent research into occupational therapists' use of mindfulness in clinical practice with children and youth. The webinar will open with an overview of the theoretical links between mindfulness and human occupation, then will provide concrete examples from the presenter's research to highlight these links. While this webinar will focus on the findings of the presenter's research, it will provide takeaway messages on application in practice and will close with an opportunity to try some brief mindfulness practices that participants can take into their clinical practices.
