Addressing the Needs of Children with a History of Abuse
Children who have experienced trauma are at risk to living in a dysregulated state of arousal.

OTs and Cognition: Are We Limiting Our Scope of Practice?

Through the utilization of CAs, occupational therapists are positioned to provide accurate identification of impairments, as well as robust progress measurements. As such, presenters contend that OTs should routinely implement CAs, such as performance-based assessments, to clients regardless of setting to inform valuable treatment interventions and recommendations. With implementation of these types of standardized and functional tests, OTs are practicing at the top of their licensure promoting the distinct value of OT in the assessment and treatment of cognitive impairments
