Abstract
Date Presented 04/13/21
Sensory processing challenges are measured by caregiver report and clinician observation and affect many people with autism spectrum disorder and their caregivers. It is unclear how caregiver stress influences the correlation between scores on caregiver report and observational measures. The present analysis explores correlations between two formats of tools to assess sensory processing and indicates that caregiver stress moderates the association between sensory-seeking scores on the measures.

Authors: Brown Catana , Knowles Rebecca L. S. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Date Presented 04/7/21
A descriptive study using the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile compared the scores of people recovering from addiction with the profile scores of the normative sample and found a preference for sensation avoiding among people recovering from addiction. This knowledge indicates a need for sensory-informed interventions to enhance self-regulation and occupational performance in home, work, and community environments for people recovering from addictions.

This mixed-methods online survey collected self-report data from 88 older adults on self-restricting driving behaviors. Data identified trends in various factors, including overall driving behaviors, community mobility, use of alternative transportation, and age of older adults independently living in urban and suburban California. Increased self-restricted driving behaviors were reported with the increased age of respondents. This change in driving results in diminished occupational participation.

Abstract
Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.
Collaboration between teachers and OTs improves student performance and promotes positive student outcomes in school-based OT (Kennedy & Stewart, 2012). Collaboration with OTs was valued by 85.1% of respondents, and 62% of respondents considered OT's goal in the schools to be focused on fine motor skills. This survey shows that general education teachers value collaboration with OTs but do not fully understand the role of OT, which may limit the effectiveness of collaboration.

Abstract
Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.
Celiac disease is a chronic condition, treated by a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. Children and adolescents with celiac disease face ongoing challenges of making daily dietary choices. As children grow, they need to become more involved in the decision-making process and take on self-management responsibilities. OTs have an important role in promoting self-management of celiac disease and the decision-making process during the transition years from adolescence to young adulthood.

Abstract
Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.
OTs and other health care professionals frequently experience low back pain. This has been associated with multifidus cross-sectional area in various populations, but not previously in health care workers. This project observed multifidus cross-sectional area in OTs and other health care personnel. A pain group was compared with a nonpain group to assess differences between them. At the S1 level (with a trend at L5), those with more pain had smaller multifidus.

OT in Acute Care: Predictors of Occupational Competence and Hospital Readmissions
Authors: Tkach Melanie , Bowyer Patricia 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Date Presented 04/6/21
This study explores predictors of occupational competence and hospital readmission for clients with chronic conditions in acute care. Self-care function (Î² = 0.43, p = .01) and environmental impact (Î² = –.38, p = .01) significantly predict occupational competence. Functional cognition (OR = 2.19, p = .04) and occupational competence (OR = 0.81, p = .02) significantly predict hospital readmission. OTs should consider standardized measures of these predictors to facilitate successful discharge home.
