AOTA

Eleanor Clarke Slagle, considered to be the "mother" of occupational therapy, proposed habit training as a primary occupational therapy model of treatment based upon the philosophy that engagement in meaningful routines shapes a person's wellbeing. Learn how current research supports this theory and the role of LSVT BIG® as an evidence-based treatment protocol in delivery of “habit training” for people with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions. 

Learning Objectives: 

1. Describe “habit training” and the research evidence to support goal and task oriented, person-centered care for people with PD. 
2. Associate the many functional applications of the LSVT BIG® protocol with our OT roots of habit training.
