If you are an occupational therapy professional working with autistic people, you’ve likely heard of strengths-based practice (SBP).

But, does this approach work?

And, what are the benefits of it?

In this one hour OT CEU course we will discuss a scoping review that explores these questions. As we’ll see, strengths-based interventions were related to:

Positive social engagement
Learning
Self-advocacy
Anxiety reduction

After reviewing the article, we’re delighted to welcome to the podcast the article’s lead author, Kavitha Murthi, MS (OT), OTR, FHEA (UK). Her and I will discuss the practical implications of this research for your OT practice.
