Live Webinar Pediatrics SIG: Fostering Trauma-Sensitive Practice in Occupational Therapy for Singapore’s Children and Youth

With Kim Barthel, OTR and Relationship Matters and hosted by the Singapore Association of Occupational Therapists

This 90-minute online session is intended to expand awareness of the presence of trauma as a component of challenging behaviour, learning difficulties and mental health issues. Different forms of trauma contribute to a wide variety of behavioural outcomes: developmental trauma, collective trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder. Children with developmental disabilities who receive occupational therapy often experience trauma in addition to their neuro-developmental underpinnings. An exploration of observable manifestations of this co-morbidity will be explored with a wide OT lens.

Objectives: 

1) What is trauma-informed practice and what does that look like in OT practice?  

2) Impact of current landscape on trauma-informed practice

3) Sharing of some case examples on trauma-informed practice in the field of paediatrics 

4) Learn about resources we can tap into in order for us to be better informed with trauma-informed practice
