Presenter(s): Michelle Mays, MS, OTR/L, Moira Bushell, OTD., MEd., OTR/L, BCP

Course Description: School-based occupational therapy practitioners are challenged with defining their unique role and delivering services in a system facing unprecedented times: Fallout from the covid-19 pandemic, ongoing school shootings, and historical personnel shortages.  Federal and state mandates call for integrated supports for every child with a focus on student and community mental health. Please join us as we reflect on the current school climate and discuss opportunities for authentic occupational therapy service delivery aligned with best-practices and whole-school, whole-child approaches to health and wellness.
