Earn professional development

You listened to the podcast, now earn professional development for doing so.

Earn 1 contact hour toward your professional development requirements by listening to episode 108 of the OT Schoolhouse Podcast and taking a 5-question quiz to demonstrate learned knowledge.

In this episode of the OT Schoolhouse Podcast, we will discuss several shifts in this field within the past 40 years.

Our guest today is Julie Bissell, one of the occupational therapists who jumped into the schools early on to address the educational model in schools. Julie discusses transitioning from a medical model to an educational model and shares how we can facilitate participation and help the children perform in the least restrictive environment.

We will also discuss an article she co-wrote titled Frameworks, Models and Trends in School-Based. This publication discusses a few frameworks within occupational therapy and relates them specifically to school-based practices in individual states and the United States. Also, stay tuned as she enlightens us about an Israeli handwriting assessment and how she assisted in translating this fun card game into English.

1. Identify how the World Health Organization model helps to look at a human and their participation regardless of disability
