Expanding OT's Role in the Mental Health Treatment of Parkinson's Disease Through High-Quality Online Education
Authors: Zurawski Sarah A. , Pickett Kristen A. , Widmer Maria 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Date Presented 04/12/21
OT has been specifically called upon to improve the quality of care of people with Parkinson's disease (PD). This capstone project is a response to this call. A two-module online learning program was designed to address the gap between knowledge and current best practices in the treatment of mental health concerns associated with PD. The results suggest that high-quality online training is an effective way to teach OTs to better address the mental health needs of people with PD.

How Adults With Stroke Conceptualize Physical Activity: An Exploratory Qualitative Study
Authors: Bailey Ryan , Stevenson Jennifer 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.
In this qualitative, phenomenological study, 15 stroke survivors indicated that performing moderate to vigorous physical activity (PA), performing activities of daily living (ADLs), and avoiding sedentary behavior were important types of PA. For adults with stroke for whom moderate PA is challenging, performing ADLs may be an acceptable alternative. OT practitioners can assist clients to decrease sedentary behavior and increase PA through the performance of meaningful activities and occupations.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.
Various models of practice placement are available. This study examined students' perceptions and compared models (role established versus role emerging). One hundred fifty-five OT students completed questionnaires pre- and post-placement. A significant increase was found in personal and professional skills. Significantly higher community scores were found in role emerging. Both models contribute to students' professional development, and role emerging may contribute to developing areas of practice in the community.

Authors: Fleita Margaret R. , Carter Breanna , Cutler Molly 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Date Presented 04/8/21
People with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience nonmotor symptoms (NMS) such as cognitive impairment, depression, and fatigue, all of which impact daily function. Despite the prevalence and negative impact of NMS, there are limited interventions. Improvisational dance (ID) requires spontaneous integration of cognitive and motor skills in a playful and nonjudgmental environment. This study found improvements in NMS and daily function in people with PD after participating in an ID class.

Abstract
Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.
Ninety percent of OTs use sensory-based interventions to manage sensory processing disorder (SPD) in school settings (Ahn et al., 2004). Although sensory diets, a sensory-based intervention, are widely used in school-based settings to manage SPD, the current evidence on sensory diets is sparse (Case-Smith et al., 2015). This topic discusses the results of this study, which investigated the effectiveness of sensory diets on children’s classroom behaviors.
