- Who: Occupational Therapists and/or Assistants working in home health (primarily targeting those serving the adult population but all are welcome)
- What: An informal meet up for conversation, inspiration, problem solving, vision-casting and networking. It’s free.
- When: 3:30-5pm on Saturday, Feb 29th, 2020
- Where: Huntington University (8385 W Mariners Way, Peoria, AZ 85382)
- Why: It’s time for creative conversation and community. The challenges of home health OT are real: PDGM and more cases that involve dementia and the need for caregiver training to name a few. Two national leaders in home health OT will be in town on this date so let’s use it as an excuse to meet up, network, converse, inspire, problem solve and grow in community around any/all topics related to home health OT especially for adults.
Come meet national leaders in OT Karen Vance and Mary Lou Donovan (see flyer for full bio details) with dialogue facilitated by local hobby podcaster, writer and OT at BAYADA Home Health, Monika Lukasiewicz, as well as your fellow and local home health OTs! In order to facilitate the most helpful and transparent dialogue for this first-time meet up, this will not be recorded. It’ll be old school dialogue together in person. Let’s join to inspire and support each other in a vision and conversation of fruitfulness for home health OTs in Arizona.
Inspired and facilitated by the founder of the Home Health Occupational Therapy Explorer Podcast (Monika Lukasiewicz) and graciously hosted by Huntington University (future home of the OTD Program) in collaboration with ArizOTA.

Robert Donatelli's new edition of the shoulder course is developed from the most current research and clinical findings, and has been recognized nationally as a proven, effective and tested approach for shoulder rehabilitation. The use of special tests and a review of essential systems to distinguish musculoskeletal dysfunction from medical pathology will be covered. This course will teach the therapist those skills necessary in making a thorough evaluation of the shoulder and Upper Q, and then designing a rehabilitation program based upon the examination findings.

This seminar explains surgery, from traditional to cutting edge techniques, in addition to evidence-based rehab and return to activity guidelines. The rise in joint replacement surgery, coupled with advances in cutting edge surgical techniques such as Computer Assisted Surgery (CAS) and less invasive procedures, has allowed the Orthopedists the ability for precise alignment and sparing of tissue. Joint replacement surgeries are on the rise and the patient today is quite different than the traditional patient we all learned about in school. Understanding modern technology and being able to confidently communicate to the patient is extremely important in the total care.

One of the longest-running and most-requested stroke courses in the field! Participants will develop a toolbox of evaluation tools and treatment strategies for people effected by a stroke, from the days following onset to the "return to community" setting. Learn easy, free ways to find the best evidence to support your treatments, 4 stroke-specific, validated evaluation tools to gauge patient progress and improve reimbursement, and effective treatment strategies. Frequently-seen impairments, and the theory and effectiveness of common treatments and technologies are discussed, including approaches to spasticity, shoulder pain, ambulation, and hemiparesis. Video cases and hands on “breakouts” complement didactic information.

This 2-day lecture and lab workshop provides an understanding of the power and influence of the biomechanic and neuromechanic integration with cervical spine movement dysfunction. Content for this course includes discussion of the research basis for examination and intervention of movement dysfunction using the interplay of static and dynamic movement as the organizing strategy. The strategies advanced for examination and intervention are developed in the context of a dynamic control model and work well with traditional approaches used for intervention. Course information is immediately relevant and applicable in the clinical setting.

Vestibular and balance disorders may result from CVA, trauma, infection, debilitation, congenital conditions and numerous other conditions. Patients are seen in all settings, both orthopedic and neurologic. Vestibular disorders can cause disturbing symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, nausea, anxiety, fatigue, and imbalance. The related impairments can lead to functional limitation and disability. Balance related falls can be devastating, even fatal. Evidence has shown vestibular disorders are frequently not diagnosed or treated properly. Research has demonstrated vestibular and balance rehabilitation to be highly effective.
