American Occupational Therapy Association CE on CD - Creating Successful Transitions to Community Mobility Independence for Adolescents:
Addressing the Needs of Students With Cognitive, Social and Behavioral Limitations Miriam Monahan, MS OTR, CDRS, CDI & Kimberly Patten, OTL, AMPS certified Addresses the critical issue of community mobility skill development for youth with diagnoses that challenge cognitive and social skills, such as autism spectrum and attention deficit disorder. Community mobility is vast in that it includes mass transportation, pedestrian travel, and driving, and is essential for engaging in vocational, social, and educational opportunities. The course is appropriate for occupational therapy practitioners practicing in educational settings and in driver rehabilitation. The practitioner in the educational setting will learn how to address community mobility in context of the individual education plan. The occupational therapy practitioner practicing in driver rehabilitation will gain understanding into the impact of these diagnoses on community mobility skills and be better able to identify when a student is ready for driving.

Addressing the Needs of Students With Cognitive and Social Limitations Behind the Wheel Miriam Monahan, MS, OTR, CDRS, CDI Students with Asperger syndrome, nonverbal learning disabilities, autism, traumatic brain injury, and attention deficit disorders, as well as those with lower IQ scores, present a challenge to occupational therapists practicing in the area of driver rehabilitation. This highly visual and creative course addresses skills deficits related to those diagnoses. Using methods and tools that address the skills needed for driving, including video review, participants will be able to assess and make decisions about a student's readiness to drive and put the techniques learned directly into their practice. Participants will gain intervention techniques to help their clients develop the social and executive function skills necessary for specific driving tasks. |

I just finished the course "Driving Assessment and Training Techniques: Addressing the Needs of Students with Cognitive and Social Limitations Behind the Wheel".
Before I signed up for the course, I was uncertain if this would be a good use of my personal money for my continuing education. I had certainly heard of you at ADED conferences but had limited direct experience from your instruction. Your course was worth every penny! Thank you for making it PRACTICAL!!!! Also, the information was presented in a very structured outline to organize the information for easier learning! Thank you tremendously!
