Course Description:

Are leisure skills beneficial to the overall health of our patients? Statistics show that 49% of those who utilize long-term care services in nursing homes are diagnosed with depression.  Residents spend approximately 69% of the day inactive with their eyes closed. Occupational deprivation results in a decline in physical and mental health, as well as overall quality of life. Let Dr. Aditi Mehra, DHS, OTR/L and Jonathan Amey, M.Ed. help us, as clinicians, teach our patients how to keep their mind and their days engaged.

This course will cover:

  • The importance of teaching leisure activities in PT/OT/ATC
  • How to identify the barriers to teaching leisure skills in everyday practice
  • How to describe the steps necessary to create an Activity analysis and a list of motor movements needed for leisure skills
  • Listing the process of using the Standard Celeration chart to track data and make clinical decisions
