Autism Spectrum Disorder, commonly referred to as ASD or autism, is a neurological disorder defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5th edition. Persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts, as well as restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities are included in the diagnostic criteria (DSM-5). Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) face disproportionately high levels of unemployment and underemployment (Khalifa et al., 2020). Engagement in work is a meaningful occupation that helps shape one’s identity and is a vital part of an individual’s wellbeing (Hedley et al., 2018). One’s participation in work often …

Exploring The Use Of Occupational Therapy Telehealth Services In Early Intervention During Covid-19, Aiyana Tietze-Di Toro
Occupational Therapy: Student Scholarship & Creative Works
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of telehealth has increased significantly, including for occupational therapy (OT) services provided in the early intervention (EI) setting. While preliminary research evaluates the effectiveness and benefits of telehealth services in early intervention occupational therapy (EI OT), few studies compare telehealth to traditional in-person services. The purpose of this research study is to understand experiences with telehealth for EI OT services during COVID-19 as compared to experiences with previous in-person services from the perspective of OTs and parents. Using a qualitative case study design, interviews were conducted with one EI OT practitioner and two of …

Interoception Awareness And Intuitive Eating, Meghan Glaspey
Occupational Therapy: Student Scholarship & Creative Works
College is a time where students are required to nourish themselves independently. Weight loss and weight maintenance can be difficult for many, as students are more likely to turn to external methods to lose weight, which are not successful and sustainable long term. Students may be more likely to turn to external mechanisms to lose weight because the have poor interoception awareness, which is the ability to make meaning and sense of hunger and fullness cues. This study aims to discover if interoception awareness is a requirement for intuitive eating, which is an eating approach that uses the body as …
Occupational Therapists’ Perspectives On Working In Mental Health Roles, Holly Phillips
Occupational Therapists’ Perspectives On Working In Mental Health Roles, Holly Phillips
Occupational Therapy: Student Scholarship & Creative Works
Occupational therapists working in mental health settings face a multitude of challenges to practice, including role blurring, generic roles, lack of support, and a lack of community, yet continue to pursue these positions. The current literature primarily highlights these barriers and discusses the under utilization of occupational therapists in mental health. Despite these challenges, occupational therapists are still holding prominent roles in this area and the question remains of why these therapists are continuing to pursue these roles and how they are creating meaning in their work. For this research, interviews were conducted with occupational therapists currently working or who …

Client Perspectives Of Engaging In Romantic Relationships After A Spinal Cord Injury: A Phenomenological Inquiry, Kaitlyn R. Edinger
Occupational Therapy: Student Scholarship & Creative Works
Intimacy and romantic relationships are an integral component of an individual, providing love and support through one’s lifetime and increasing life satisfaction and well-being. However, individuals who live with a spinal cord injury (SCI) experience relationships and intimacy differently than the rest of the population. Being paralyzed after any injury can affect the individual’s self-esteem, making the individual feel unattractive and self-conscious. Current literature suggests a variety of client reported barriers to engaging in romantic relationships after SCI such as decreased self-esteem, negative body image, and lack of support and education; however, there is limited research regarding the lived experiences …
Etherapy: The Next Generation Of Physical And Occupational Therapy, Colin Elliott
Etherapy: The Next Generation Of Physical And Occupational Therapy, Colin Elliott
Summer Scholarship, Creative Arts and Research Projects (SCARP)
The purpose of the research is to create software capable of revolutionizing the way physical and occupational therapy is done by utilizing wireless inertia sensors. The inertia sensors themselves can accurately identify their exact position in space. Hence, when they are attached correctly to a patient requiring therapy, they can provide precise data on the patient’s real-time motions. It is the goal of the software to leverage the power of the sensors to provide real-time feedback to the patient and to the therapist to ensure patients are performing prescribed exercises correctly and are restoring their range(s) of motion. For ease …
