FREE 5-Day Autism Summit-OT Edition online from December 10th-14th, 2022

Dear All, Holland Bloorview's FREE 5-Day Autism Summit-OT Edition which will be taking place online from December 10th-14th, 2022. Over the summer, I had the wonderful opportunity to interview amazing occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, OT researchers, autistic people, parents & caregivers and other neurodivergent people. We discussed how to best support our clients and their families through the implementation of neurodiversity-affirming and strengths-based practices. Please note that although this Summit was designed with occupational therapists' learning needs in mind, other health care and education professionals and others interested in best practices in autism are welcomed to attend! Here is a little sneak peek of my conversation with occupational therapist, Dr. Jessie Wilson, talking about how OTs can use a strengths-based approach in our practice through the use of our own OT models in the assessment and intervention process.
