Sleep Interventions for Occupational Therapists
Duration: 90 minutes
Cost: $89
Learn practical sleep interventions for Occupational Therapists. Explore cognitive strategies, behavioural approaches, environmental modifications and occupation-based techniques to improve sleep and functional outcomes in older adults.
Why This Webinar Matters
Knowing that a client has poor sleep is one thing. Knowing what to do about it is another.
Many Occupational Therapists identify sleep challenges during assessments but feel less confident implementing evidence-informed interventions that go beyond basic sleep hygiene advice. Yet sleep is a core occupation that directly influences health, cognition, mood, participation and independence.
Designed specifically for Occupational Therapists, this practical on-demand webinar focuses on how to intervene. You'll learn practical, occupation-based strategies that address the cognitive, behavioural and environmental factors contributing to poor sleep, giving you a toolkit of interventions you can immediately apply with adult clients.
​
Whether you work in community aged care, rehabilitation, disability or another adult practice setting, this webinar will help you confidently integrate sleep interventions into your everyday Occupational Therapy practice.
​
While this webinar builds on concepts introduced in Sleep Assessment and Interventions for Occupational Therapists (Part 1), it has been designed to stand alone and can be completed independently.
