On-Demand Webinar: Popular Pediatric Assessments: Tips & Tools for OTPs
Description of On-Demand Webinar
Occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) are instrumental in promoting childhood development using their assessment and intervention skills. To ensure they are adhering to best practices and using the most appropriate tools, it is important that practitioners remain abreast of advancements in assessments over time. Additionally, OTPs must understand the standardization and psychometric properties of these assessments to effectively use them.
Approaches to assessment in the pediatric population also shift over time, as practitioners update their practices based on new research. As OTPs embrace neurodiversity and promote more holistic, strengths-based approaches, it is critical to have a good understanding of how to effectively use assessments when working with diverse populations. This webinar will present an overview of current editions of popular pediatric assessments, including the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales, Third Edition (PDMS-3); Developmental Profile 4 (DP®-4); Sensory Processing Measure, Second Edition (SPM®-2); Structured Observations of Sensory Integration–Motor (SOSI-M); and Comprehensive Observations of Proprioception–Revised (COP-R). This webinar will highlight how best to administer these assessments. Best practices for conducting holistic, strengths-based assessments and using evaluation results to make evidence-informed interventions will also be discussed.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this on-demand webinar, the learner will be able to:
- Describe administration and scoring guidelines for the PDMS-3, DP®-4, SPM®-2, SOSI-M, and COP-R assessments;
- Explain how to interpret assessment results to inform evidence-based interventions; and
- Discuss resources practitioners can use to remain abreast of best practices in pediatric assessment.
