Self-determination interventions are linked to positive academic and functional attainment results-and, most compellingly, can improve post-secondary outcomes.
But what does it look like for OT professionals to foster self-determination in the school setting?
In this one hour course, we’ll breakdown a scoping review that examines the Independence Curriculum, which is designed to enhance middle-school-aged autistic students’ self-determination. The results are improvement in:
• Self-determination
• Goal attainment in:
- Executive functioning
- Self-regulation
We’re so excited to welcome the article’s lead author, Dora Onwumere, on the podcast. She and I will discuss the practical implications of this research for OTs.
