We, at OT Potential, keep hearing stories of more and more OTs teaming up with optometrists to provide vision remediation interventions.

(Vision remediation focuses on retraining the eye and brain connection. This is in contrast to low vision therapy, which focuses on compensation and adapting the environment to maximize remaining vision.)

The need is clear: occupational therapy can provide needed interventions for those with diagnosed visual inefficiencies from such things as acquired brain injury, or even developmentally — but the number of OTs with this training is not keeping pace with the need.

But, what does it take to fill this gap?

On today’s 1 hour webinar we are lucky to have one OT, Alicia Reiser OTD, who has built a private practice around this need. We’ll learn about the special training she pursued, how she forged relationships with local ODs, and most importantly the difference she is able to make in the lives of her clients.

OTs and PTs compete in many ways. We can be found competing over:

• Patient time
• Who gets to bill which code on which day
• Recognition
• And scope of practice

But, as looming outside forces like AI and decreasing reimbursement rates threaten our professions, it is critical to change our postures toward interprofessional collaboration.

And, there is no PT I would rather talk about this with than Rebeca Segraves. Rebeca has hard won insight as she has sought to embed our professions more fully into maternal healthcare.

In this one hour webinar, we’ll talk about the latest research on interprofessional collaboration, and what this can look like on the individual, systems and national level.

One year ago, we released an OT Potential Podcast episode exploring what AI could conceptually mean for clinical decision support.

Fast forward to today—and AI chats have become a regular part of the decision-making process for many healthcare providers. In fact, OpenEvidence now reports that 40% of U.S. physicians use their platform daily.

At OT Potential, we recently launched our own AI chat and learned a great deal in the process.

The world of knowledge translation is changing at an incredible pace. It feels more important than ever to pause and ask: What critical questions should we be asking to harness this technology? What are the strengths of chat-based tools as they currently exist? What are their vulnerabilities? And how can we move forward strategically?

We are incredibly lucky to be joined for this one-hour CEU webinar by Jen Weaver, PhD, OTR/L, a leading voice in knowledge translation within occupational therapy. Together, Jen and I will discuss what these rapid changes mean for you and your OT practice.
