Examining the Effect of Eye Gaze Technology on Children With Cortical Visual Impairment & Its Impact on Occupational Performance
Authors: Bruegger Tammy J. , Carroll Ashley , Dutton Ciara , Dietrick Jenna , Cook Claire , Eller Brianna 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Date Presented 04/22/2023
Cortical visual impairment (CVI) is the leading cause of visual impairment, affecting as many as 72 per 100,000 children (Cohen-Maitre & Haerich, 2005). CVI causes difficulty processing visual information (Abd El-Maksoud et al., 2016); however, there is limited research on interventions for CVI. This study aims to see whether eye gaze technology improves visual skills and occupational performance of children with CVI.

Authors: Chang Megan C. , Bennet Madeline , Coe Bailey , Santana Angela , Schultz Katherine , Serrano Erin 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Date Presented 04/22/2023
The high prevalence of sleep disturbances in older adults warrants further research exploring their negative impacts on occupational engagement. Sensory loss and sensory impairment are common occurrences during normal aging and may result in difficulties in engaging in occupations such as sleep (Correia et al., 2016). This study examined the relationship between emotional states, including depression, anxiety, and stress, and sleep in older adults.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Date Presented 04/22/2023
Purpose: Describe feasibility and clinical value of preoperative OT evaluations for left ventricular assist device (LVAD) candidates. Design & Method: Single-center observational; descriptive analyses of 139 candidates’ OT evaluations. Results: Cognition, frailty, activities of daily living, and LVAD care measures led OT to predict that 36% would need no assist, 39% some assist, and 24% 24/7 supervision to manage LVADs. Conclusion: The OT protocol gave insight into candidates’ LVAD self-care needs and was feasible. Impact: Supports OT preoperative LVAD consults as standard of care.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Date Presented 04/22/2023
Circadian lighting, indoor light that simulates the solar day, was explored as a means to help regulate sleep in a person living with dementia and a college student. Results indicate that a daily, 1-hour circadian lighting exposure helped to regulate sleep and improve mood and engagement for both cases. Implementation was facilitated by integrating lighting into a daily leisure or instrumental routine. Findings contribute to OT knowledge on means to promote the occupation of sleep.
