OTs’ Approach to Caregiver Stress in Parents of Children With Sensory Dysfunction

Abstract

Date Presented 04/01/2022The research questions were as follows: (1) Do OT practitioners address caregiver stress? (2) What are the sources of caregiver stress among parents of children with sensory dysfunction? (3) What intervention methods or tools do OT practitioners use to address caregiver stress? An OT practitioner survey was used to obtain quantitative and qualitative data to answer these questions. These data are important in understanding best practice for client-centered care in pediatrics.Primary Author and Speaker: Kimberly Schiller EvattContributing Authors: Julie Watson, Rae Ann Smith
