This session is part of the Therapies in the School Online Conference 7
During this session the relevance of using the ICF and OTPF frameworks with students with severe disabilities will be applied to school-based practice including virtual considerations. Using a case study, the application of the frameworks to evidenced-based assessment, goals, objectives and interventions will be discussed. Current research and tools to support practice with this student population will be shared.
Objectives:
• Define the relevance of the International Classification of Function (ICF)and Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (OTPF) to working with students with severe and complex disabilities
• Explain how the ICF, OTPF and current research contribute to the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) process and planning for the student with severe disabilities.
• Develop school-based interventions based on a participatory framework and current research regarding activity, participation, and motor learning.
