This one-day practical skills workshop will focus on providing a structure for occupational therapy assessment and interventions and clarifying outcomes for mental health maintenance and wellness.

This online workshop will explore how optimal seated posture impacts pain and the overall capacity of older adults to participate more fully and more comfortably in meaningful occupations.

Ce webinaire vise à explorer différentes solutions technologiques qui peuvent être utilisées pour la réadaptation du membre supérieur post-AVC..Ce webinaire portera sur les avancées récentes en recherche sur la réadaptation post-AVC, telles que les technologies portables, la réalité virtuelle, la robotique et les approches basées sur l’art, ainsi que sur leur intégration possible dans la pratique en ergothérapie. Des stratégies à faible coût pour favoriser la récupération après un AVC seront également abordées

Le fonctionnement cognitif, allant des déficits aux capacités cognitives préservées, sera d'abord présenté pour expliquer comment il sous-tend l'approche et l'efficacité des stratégies cognitives. Les quatre stratégies cognitives seront présentées à travers des exemples cliniques pertinents à une variété de milieux de pratique et de niveaux d'atteintes cognitives. Les facteurs à prendre en compte (facilitateurs et obstacles) influençant la mise en place des stratégies cognitives seront abordées. Le webinaire sera appuyé par des données probantes démontrant l'efficacité des stratégies cognitives.

In this webinar, occupational therapy professionals will gain insight into how cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, problem-solving, and executive functioning influence a client's independence and quality of life. This webinar will explore various practical, evidence-based interventions to improve client outcomes, including development of routines and habits, task or environmental modification, and use of visual and auditory cues. These strategies help clients overcome barriers such as memory difficulties, disorganization, and poor task follow-through, while fostering problem-solving and promoting overall engagement. Evidence-based assessments for evaluating functional cognition will also be highlighted, including tools like the Allen Cognitive Level Screen (ACLS-5; Earhart et al., 2022).

This webinar will describe the existing best practices occupational therapists can use to manage dementia-related wandering behaviours and the risks associated with getting lost and going missing. In addition, a recently developed digital guide that highlights the importance of balancing independence with safety when addressing this issue will be shared.
