Course Description: The OT literature supports the role of occupational therapy in the interdisciplinary setting for concussion management given the unique skill set to assess the impact of symptoms on occupational performance (Harris et al, 2019). This presentation will provide an overview of the occupational domains affected in adults post-concussion and apply theoretical frameworks to guide occupation-based assessment and intervention with the goal to enhance evidence based research in practice.
