Speaker: 

Michele Stillman OTD, OTR/L, RN

I graduated from Quinnipiac College in 1995 with a bachelor’s degree in Health Science and Occupational Therapy. Since that time, I have practiced in SNF, short-term rehabilitation, school-based practice, and home health care. For the past nine years, I have assumed the role of Occupational Therapy Supervisor at Capitol Region Mental Health Center, working in an outpatient mental health center with young adult clients. This past May, I graduated from American International College, earning my Post-Professional Occupational Therapy Doctorate. I am a member of the Attachment Network of CT and am trained in TREM, COS-P and DBT.

Learning Objectives Attendees Should Achieve:

1. Participants will learn how the WPCA might be used to assess a person’s executive function capabilities

2. Participants learn strategies that can be used to successfully support executive function in daily living tasks

3. Participants will have the opportunity to develop a network of mental health occupational therapists for collaboration

Summary of Event: 

This Mental Health SIS event will involve discussion of occupational therapy assessment and intervention to address executive function. The group will discuss the AJOT article, Weekly Calendar Planning Activity (WCPA): A Performance-Based Assessment of Executive Function Piloted With At-Risk Adolescents. A portion of the discussion will involve participants sharing topics for future mental health SIS discussion groups.
