How can you demonstrate the progress you see your students make? Occupational therapists often struggle with translating the magic of what happens in occupational therapy sessions into cold, hard data. This course will provide practitioners with a detailed explanation of how to prepare objectives or goals that accurately measure occupational performance, outline procedures for collecting data, and discuss the use of visual analysis of data. This knowledge will be applied using case examples to explore strategies for designing data collection systems to address handwriting, adaptive functioning, and classroom performance goals, as well as how to measure subjective observations, such as sensory processing and energy regulation. Strong and clear data collection allows occupational therapists to advocate effectively for their clients and the profession by objectively demonstrating the progress made by their clients.

Children on the autism spectrum experience significant difficulties in their ability to dress themselves, use the restroom, and maintain personal hygiene. Occupational therapy practitioners address adaptive skills frequently in their work with children with ASD, but progress is slow and difficult to measure. This course will present a simple evidence-based intervention that has been proven in the research to address adaptive skills. The intervention uses systematic implementation and data-driven decision-making to ensure clients are making the strongest gains possible.
