Agenda
Part 1 (60 minutes)
    •    Introduction to AOTA Choosing Wisely & Case Scenarios 

    •    Campaign #2: Don’t provide sensory-based interventions to individual children or youth within documented assessment results of difficulties processing or integrating sensory information. 

    •    Campaign #4: Don’t use reflex integration programs for individuals with delayed primary motor reflexes without clear links to occupational outcomes.
    •    Campaign #5: Don’t provide cognitive-based interventions (i.e. paper and pencil tasks, table-top tasks, cognitive training software) without direct application to occupational performance. 


Part 2: (60 minutes)
    •    Introduction to AOTA Choosing Wisely & Case Scenarios
    •    Campaign #1:  Don’t provide intervention activities that are non-purposeful (i.e. cones, pegs, shoulder arc, arm bike).
    •    Campaign #3: Don’t use physical agent modalities (PAMS) without providing purposeful and occupation-based intervention activities.
    •     Campaign #10: Don’t provide ambulation or gait training interventions that do not directly link to functional mobility.

Event Description
The Choosing Wisely campaign is an initiative of the American Board of Internal Medicine with the purpose of promoting conversations between practitioners and clients to ensure assessments and interventions provided are evidence based, free from harm, and necessary (AOTA, 2021). In July 2021, AOTA published their updated items surrounding the Choosing Wisely Campaign “Ten Things Patients and Providers Should Question” (Choosing Wisely, 2021). This two-part asynchronous presentation series provides the current evidence with practice-focused case scenarios to support AOTA’s initiatives regarding “Ten Things Patients and Providers Should Question”. Entry-level occupational therapy students will provide knowledge from their evidence-based project completed in their didactic coursework. Presenters will share the current literature obtained from an evidence-based search outcome surrounding case scenarios rooted in items within the AOTA Involvement in Choosing Wisely campaign. The case scenarios are for practitioners providing occupational therapy services across a variety of clientele and practice settings.
