Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bridging Sensory Integration and Academic Standards in School-Based OT
Q: When should a therapist start thinking about Common Core standards in an assessment?
From the outset of the referral, considering participation challenges and which standards might be impacted, so that the evaluation can directly connect sensory processing to educational goals.
AI and Clinical Reasoning in School-Based Occupational Therapy
Q: What brought AI onto your radar, and how did your perspective on its use evolve?
AI entered my radar through my teenagers and a demand from educators for more creative intervention ideas; over time, I focused on how AI could support clinical reasoning and evidence-based practice rather than replacing clinician judgment.
AI and Clinical Reasoning in School-Based Occupational Therapy
Q: How has AI been the most helpful for you in your role as a fieldwork coordinator?
AI helps develop resources for students and fieldwork educators, draft learning activities, evaluation tools, and supports prompt engineering and case-study exploration, all while keeping a human in the loop to ensure clinical relevance.
Supporting Teachers First and How Coaching Creates Lasting Impact for Students
Q: What are some of the dynamics in school-based occupational therapy?
Cullen explained the importance of understanding the daily struggles of teachers and how that influences their receptiveness to assistance.
Supporting Teachers First and How Coaching Creates Lasting Impact for Students
Q: What led to your research?
Cullen felt ineffective as a school-based OT regarding sustainable changes in students and wanted to explore how to support teachers to facilitate that change.
