Authors: Iliff Susan L. , Horner Christy S. , Heuer Ryan , Reid Kerri , Reed Kara , Denton Rebecca , Ramsey Kristine 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Date Presented 04/21/21
This study examined the relationship of clinical and road portions of Vanderbilt University Medical Center's driver evaluation. Data were collected retrospectively on adults with mild cognitive impairment or dementia. Findings revealed a significant relationship between the driving recommendation and the road assessment scores but not the clinical scores. Results indicated a need for OT practitioners to explore clinical assessment methods to more accurately predict road performance for determining fitness-to-drive recommendations.

Abstract
Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.
Understanding the mechanisms of emotion production and emotion processing is important for addressing social communication deficits in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Our results suggest that prompted emotional expressions in individuals with ASD are considered less genuinely expressed than those of their typically developing peers. This authenticity is related to neural responses in social processing brain regions. These findings offer insight for OTs to better treat and develop therapies to address social communication deficits in individuals with ASD.
