Introduction:
Though television is still the primary form of media for children, almost one-third of TV programming is accessed through smart phones, tablets, and computers (Strasburger et al., 2013).
•Families do not adhere to AAP’s guidelines (Brown, 2011)
•Research suggests detrimental effect on young children
OT’s are an integral resource to help families design healthy recreational “screen time diets.”

BACKGROUND
- Older adults are at increased risk for falls and fall related injuries, leading to loss of independence, disability, and increased mortality.
- Preventing injury and falls is a national Healthy People 2010 objective. However, physicians and other health professionals frequently fail to incorporate known evidence into usual care. Screening for falls is not consistently performed as an essential assessment in older adults by primary care providers.
- Multidisciplinary assessment can be an important component in preventing falls in community dwelling adults.
- In new practice models, such as the Chronic Care Model, there is an emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration, however health professions …

- Objective: Examine population-based trends in access to needed therapy services for children with ASD under the age of 18 years
- Compare differences in access to needed therapy services between children with ASD and children with other special health care needs (CSHCN)
- Identify individual, family enabling, and child need characteristics that contribute to reduced access to therapy services
Psychometric Evaluation Of The Functional Capacity Card Sort: Measuring Caregiver Appraisal Of Functional Capacity In Persons With Dementia, Catherine V. Piersol, Phd, Otr/L
Psychometric Evaluation Of The Functional Capacity Card Sort: Measuring Caregiver Appraisal Of Functional Capacity In Persons With Dementia, Catherine V. Piersol, Phd, Otr/L
Department of Occupational Therapy Posters and Presentations
Background
Caregivers play a vital role in the safety and well-being of people with dementia
-
Majority of people with dementia live at home, are cared for by families or close friends/neighbors, and require supervision or assistance with daily activities
-
80% of care provided in the home is delivered by unpaid caregivers (Alzheimer’s Association, 2013, Family Caregiver Alliance, 2006)
Functional capacity in the person with dementia is usually assessed by caregiver interview
-
Caregiver report is an important proxy measure in dementia care as the person with the cognitive impairment tends to overestimate function (Karagiozis et al., 1998; Kiyak, et al., 1994) …

Objective:
- Interprofessional education competencies include understanding roles & responsibilities of team members, and demonstrating effective communication and team building skills (Pardue, 2013).
- Team conflict impacts patient safety and outcomes (Knickle & McNaughton, 2009; Wagner, Liston & Miller, 2011) so effective team communication and conflict resolution in an important skill for students to develop (Greer et al., 2012; Levi, 2014).
- Simulation is effective in teaching interprofessional communication skills to health profession students (Velde, 2009).

Background Information
- Handwriting is a critical and complex skill that school aged children acquire over time.
- When a child demonstrates handwriting difficulties, he or she may have challenges with:
Completing written school assignments in a timely fashion,
Taking notes,
Finishing homework,
Completing exams, especially short answer.
- 80% to 85% of occupational therapy referrals in schools are due to atypical grasp pattern, fine motor and handwriting concerns that affect a child’s educational performance.

Introduction
Understanding and using evidence in practice improves health care delivery (Lugtenberg, Burgers, & Westert, 2009), reduces errors, and increases professional identity. Despite the call for increased use of evidence in occupational therapy decision making and positive attitudes of therapists toward use of evidence in practice), evidence based practice (EBP) is perceived by clinicians as time consuming and difficult due to lack of knowledge and/or resources (Humphries, et al, 2000; Bennett et al, 2003).

Background Information
- Students learn best through active engagement. Although experiences vary, practicing skills in clinical situations have proven to be an effective method.
- Practicing skills in a simulated controlled environment provides opportunities for students to receive feedback on their skills.
- Standardized patient experiences provide students a safe environment to practice clinical skills in challenging situations. These experiences have been shown to have a positive impact on learning.
