This course will equip occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to integrate advocacy into everyday clinical practice across all healthcare and community settings. Framed as a core professional responsibility, the course explores how OTPs can champion client access, dignity, and participation from the individual level all the way to systems and community change. Participants will examine common client and system level barriers encountered in acute care, skilled nursing facilities, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient, home health, and school-based settings. Through interactive breakout sessions and real-world case studies, learners will practice applying advocacy skills in context. Attendees will leave with a curated collection of Tennessee specific community resources, reliable patient education sources, and home program tools to support client carryover and caregiver empowerment.

Target Audience: Occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, occupational therapy students
