Sensory Processing Preferences in an Adult Acute Mental Health Setting: A Retrospective Study
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Sensory processing preferences differ by primary mental health diagnosis and may provide insight into treatment planning. What This Article Adds: This study identifies differences in sensory processing between patients with a primary diagnosis of depression and those with a primary diagnosis of substance use disorder, suggesting that clinical interventions should account for sensory preferences. Providing appropriate sensory experiences (sensory room, sensory boxes, etc.) may allow patients to function at an optimal level by improving their ability to self-regulate emotions and behaviors.PMID:379...

A Call to Shift to Competency-Based Education
Am J Occup Ther. 2023 Nov 1;77(6):7706347010. doi: 10.5014/ajot.2023.050402.ABSTRACTThis column explores the concept of competency-based education (CBE). A shift to CBE is a key trend for the future of health care education. Health care professions that have adopted, or started to adopt, a CBE framework include physical therapy, speech-language pathology, social work, medicine, nursing, pharmacology, and dentistry. Internationally, many occupational therapy programs are in the process of shifting to, or have shifted to, a CBE model.

Promoting Participation-Focused Practices in Inclusive Educational Settings: Stakeholders' Perspectives Following a Knowledge Translation Initiative
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Targeting different stakeholders at the micro and meso levels of the educational system can initiate a shift in practice toward a focus on participation. KT intersectoral initiatives at the macro level (e.g., targeting community services and local policies), and engaging other stakeholders (e.g., students, families, and educators), are required to ensure the sustainability of participation-based practices. What This Article Adds: The authors present two knowledge translation programs that target both occupational therapists and managers in the educational system. The programs promote a shift in s...
