Webinar – The Role of Occupational Therapy for Turner Syndrome

The Role of Occupational Therapy for Turner Syndrome

 

Occupational Therapy is a keen intervention for patients with Turner syndrome. This webinar will include an overview of the definition and scope of practice of occupational therapy, including how occupational therapy helps people perform important daily life activities. The webinar will also discuss the various challenges associated with Turner syndrome that occupational therapy can help with, including feeding challenges, fine motor concerns, social concerns, and executive functioning concerns.

Lastly, this webinar will encourage participants to learn more about and consider occupational therapy as a career path.

What are some of the anticipated benefits of attending the proposed presentation?

Some anticipated benefits of attending the proposed presentation include increased knowledge of occupational therapy and a greater understanding of its benefits for patients with Turner syndrome.

Explain how this webinar might be relevant to the general population (non-TS).

This webinar might be relevant to the general population because occupational therapy can help a wide range of people across the lifespan and in many settings. It is also a lesser-known profession compared to others, such as physical therapy and speech-language pathology, so it is valuable for the general population to understand occupational therapy and how it can help.

Who Should Attend & What You’ll Gain

This webinar is highly relevant not only to professionals, but to the general public—because nearly everyone has a family member, friend, colleague, or community connection. Whether you work in education, healthcare, counseling, or simply want to be more informed and inclusive, this session offers knowledge you can immediately apply.
Who? Patients, caregivers, allied health professionals, nurses, physicians, educators, and school administrators.

My personal and professional experiences as an occupational therapist and educator in higher education have helped me better understand what students and clients may be experiencing physically, mentally, and emotionally as they manage and live with conditions, injuries, or illnesses. Occupational therapy practitioners can play an invaluable role in helping clients live life to the fullest, doing things they need, want, and have to do. It’s an incredibly rewarding career!

I am a Doctoral student in the occupational therapy program at A.T. Still University, scheduled to graduate in June 2026. I have been conducting research on social skills in young adults with Turner syndrome. I am passionate about occupational therapy and how it can help those affected by Turner syndrome.
