Topic: Occupational Therapy in Support of Paediatric Anxiety
Description: Although previously high in prevalence, anxiety has been further exacerbated during this COVID-19 era. How does occupational therapy support children and youth with an anxious experience? This one hour + Q&A online session will differentiate between anxiety and anxiety disorders and will offer OTs a holistic view of the evaluation and intervention across contexts. Sensory, relational, cognitive and environmental approaches will be integrated throughout this conversation. The intention will be to assist clinicians in the enhancement of their clinical reasoning skills and to share a broader awareness of tools to draw from in support of their clients.
About the presenter: Kim Barthel is an award-winning occupational therapist, multi-disciplinary speaker/teacher and best-selling author supporting people in many cultures around the world.
