Bon congrès! 4 MARS 2007 • RCE - PROGRAMME DU CONGRÈS • NUMÉRO 1 • SUPPLÉMENT 1 • VOLUME 74 Leading the way to healthy occupation • July 11 - 14 Welcome to St. John’s Bienvenue à St. John’s Welcome to Canada’s oldest and possibly most dynamic city, St. John’s. Steps from the picturesque North Atlantic, you will discover breathtaking natural settings where the sky, land and water intertwine. Glaciers and time have carved a rugged coastline with freshwater fjords. Majestic icebergs cross paths with humpback whales. Breathe in the fresh air and enjoy the ocean breeze as scenic coastal roads lead into quaint, colourful colonial towns. In St. John’s you will find genuine people with small-town warmth and big-city style, where occupational therapists will gather to discuss Leading the way to healthy occupation. Bienvenue à St. John’s, la plus ancienne et sans doute la plus dynamique ville du Canada. À quelques pas à peine de l’océan Atlantique, vous découvrirez des paysages naturels où le ciel, la terre et la mer se marient. Les glaciers et le temps ont façonné des fjords d’eau douce sur la côte escarpée. De majestueux icebergs croisent au passage des baleines à bosse. Respirez l’air frais et la brise de l’océan, au fil des routes qui longent l’océan et mènent vers de coquets et colorés villages coloniaux. À St. John, vous rencontrerez des gens sincères, qui dégagent la chaleur des habitants des petits villages et le style des grandes villes, où les ergothérapeutes se rassembleront pour discuter de façons d’ouvrir la voie aux occupations saines. What to do in St. John’s Explore the history, legend and lore of the city. Newfoundlanders have welcomed many settlers such as ancient Vikings, English, Irish, Scottish, French, Basques and Aboriginal Peoples. National historical sites abound and include Signal Hill, where the first wireless signal was received in 1901, the Cabot Tower and Anglican Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist. The Rooms is the location where Newfoundland and Labrador’s history, heritage and artistic expression fuse as the provincial museum, art gallery and archives are found under the same roof. Take a boat tour around St. John’s harbour, which was the first stop for most ships heading to North America and be awed as you pass through the rocky cliffs of The Narrows at the harbour’s entrance. For those who love to shop, you will find traditional Newfoundland wares in the many craft and gift shops or take a gander in the boutiques and two large malls. Handmade quilts and rugs, knitted clothing, paintings and photographs by local artists, decorative knickknacks, beautiful furniture and antiques, as well as moose, bottled jam and other preserves are unique souvenirs. Les activités à ne pas manquer à St. John Explorez l’histoire, les légendes et les activités de la ville. Les Terre-neuviens ont accueilli de nombreux pionniers, comme les Vikings, les Britanniques, les Écossais, les Français, les Irlandais, les Basques et les Autochtones. Les sites historiques fédéraux sont abondants, par exemple Signal Hill, où le premier signal sans fil a été reçu en 1901, la tour Cabot et la Cathédrale anglicane de Saint John the Baptist. Les Rooms sont l’endroit à Terre-Neuve et au Labrador où l’histoire, le patrimoine et l’expression artistique entrent en fusion, par exemple, le muse provincial, la galerie d’art et les archives qui se retrouvent sous un même toit. Faites une croisière en bateau dans le port de St. John, qui était le premier arrêt de la plupart des bateaux se rendant en Amérique du Nord. Vous serez émerveillé par les falaises rocheuses Narrows, à l’entrée du port. Ceux qui aiment faire les boutiques trouveront des produits traditionnels de Terre-Neuve dans les nombreuses boutiques de cadeaux et ateliers d’artisanat; ils pourront visiter les boutiques ou les deux grands centres commerciaux. Les courtepointes et les tapis fabriqués à la main, les vêtements en tricot, les toiles et les photographies des artistes locaux, les bibelots décoratifs, les meubles et les antiquités, de même que la viande d’orignal, les confitures et autres conserves sont des souvenirs uniques. Terre-Neuve est une province dynamique présentant de nombreux festivals tout au long de l’été. On peut y voir de tout, de la danse terre-neuvienne aux soirées de contes, en passant par la plus ancienne régate à l’aviron en Amérique du Nord et le plus grand festival international de musique chorale. VOLUME 74 • NUMBER 1 • SUPPLEMENT 1 • CJOT - CONFERENCE PROGRAM • MARCH 2007 5 Ouvrir la voie aux occupations saine • 11 - 14 juillet Welcome to St. John’s Bienvenue à St. John’s Newfoundland is alive with many festivals throughout the summer, showcasing everything from traditional Newfoundland step dancing and storytelling circles, North America’s oldest rowing regatta and the largest international festival of choral music. In the heart of downtown St. John’s, experience the world famous George Street closed to traffic every night for party goers who want to raise a glass. This very short street has the most bars and pubs per square foot of any street in North America. Get screeched in, kiss the cod and tap your feet to some traditional Celtic music in any of the 40 plus establishments. Au coeur du centre-ville de St. John, la très célèbre rue George, réservée aux piétons tous les soirs, est empruntée par les oiseaux de nuit qui veulent faire la fête. C’est dans cette petite rue que l’on retrouve le plus de bars et de pubs par pied carré en Amérique du Nord. Détendez-vous, embrassez une morue et battez le rythme en écoutant de la musique celtique traditionnelle dans plus de 40 établissements. Explore the Region Hikers can enjoy a network of trails not only within the city of St. John’s but throughout the woodlands of the province. There is a spectacular coastal hike on the East Coast Trail in the southeastern portion of the island. You will find some of the world’s biggest seabird colonies, the greatest concentration of humpback whales in North America and an annual parade of gigantic icebergs. Have a picnic at Cape Spear National Historic Site, the most easterly point in North America, which is the first place in Canada to see the sun rise each day and where you will find the oldest surviving lighthouse in Newfoundland and Labrador. Take a walk in the boreal forest of Terra Nova National Park. You can also go sea kayaking, golfing, scuba diving or sailing. Visit Gros Morne National Park, one of the two United Nations World Heritage Sites chosen by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The park is renowned for its mystical waterfalls, unique fjords and sandy beaches. L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site is the second UNESCO site, the only authentic Viking settlement in North America. Treasures from the Land and Sea Savour fresh lobster or barbequed steak and live traditional music when you grab a seat at a lobster boil. Taste Atlantic salmon at the start of the season, enjoy steaming mussels, fried cod tongues, fish ’n brews. Or fill your boots with Jiggs Dinner, piping hot toutons (fried bread dough) or a slice of bakeapple pie. Stunning seascape and landscape, momentous history, abundant wildlife and distinct culture. Come be enchanted by the province of Newfoundland and Labrador - a land by the sea, in harmony with nature.

Les randonnées pédestres sont spectaculaires le long du sentier de la côte est, dans la région sudest de l’île. Vous y trouverez quelques-unes des plus grandes colonies d’oiseaux marins, la plus grande concentration de baleines à bosse en Amérique du Nord et le defile annuel des gigantesques icebergs. Faites un pique-nique au site national historique de Cape Spear, le point le plus à l’est de l’Amérique du Nord, où le soleil se lève en premier au Canada et où vous trouverez le plus ancien phare de Terre-Neuve et du Labrador. Faites une promenade dans la forêt boréale du parc national de Terra Nova. Vous pourrez aussi faire du kayak de mer, jouer au golf, faire de la voile ou de la plongée sous-marine. Visitez le parc national du Gros-Morne, l’un des deux sites patrimoniaux des Nations Unies choisis par l’UNESCO. Le parc est renommé pour ses chutes mystiques, ses fjords uniques et ses plages sablonneuses. L’Anse aux Meadows est le deuxième site du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, le seul site authentique où l’on trouve des traces de l’établissement des Vikings en Amérique du Nord. Les trésors de la terre et de la mer Savourez du homard frais ou des biftecks sur le BBQ et écoutez de la musique traditionnelle en direct pendant que vous prenez place près d’une bouilloire à homard. Goûtez au saumon de l’Atlantique au début de la saison, dégustez des moules fumées, des langues de morue frites et le fameux mets au poisson et pommes de terre, le fish ’n brews. Ou remplissezvous la panse avec un Jiggs Dinner, des toutons chauds (pâte à pain frite) ou une pointe de tarte à la chicouté. Des paysages marins et terrestres époustouflants, un voyage dans l’histoire, une faune abondante et une culture distincte.

Conférencière invitée : Soeur Elizabeth Davis Mercredi le 11 juillet 18:00 - 19:30 L’ACE est fière de présenter la conférencière invitée du congrès, soeur Elizabeth Davis, qui s’inspirera pour son discours des 20 ans qu’elle a consacrés à la transformation du système de santé, au maintien des valeurs dans des temps incertains ainsi qu’à l’éthique et au leadership qui caractérisent notre époque. Elle est une dirigeante et une médiatrice inspirante; le bénévolat et le travail qu’elle a accomplis dans le passé témoignent de son dévouement et de sa détermination à faire une différence dans la vie des gens.

Soeur Elizabeth a reçu de nombreux prix, dont l’Ordre du Canada, ainsi qu’un doctorat honorifique en droit, de la Memorial University de Terre-Neuve.

VOLUME 74 • NUMBER 1 • SUPPLEMENT 1 • CJOT - CONFERENCE PROGRAM • MARCH 2007 13 Ouvrir la voie aux occupations saine • 11 - 14 juillet Special Events • Thursday, July 12 Social Event*: A Night at the GEO CENTRE Activité sociale* - Soirée au GEO CENTRE 18:00 - 24:00 18:00 - 24:00 Learn about the amazing story of our planet as you join us at the Johnson GEO CENTRE. Touch rocks that are nearly four billion years old or hold a piece of the ancient ocean crust. Visit the awe-inspiring Stellarium, a 3D model that shows more than 250 stars that are closest to Earth. There are beautiful NASA photographs of galaxies, nebulae and other sights from space, among the many remarkable geological displays. The GEO CENTRE is a 10-minute drive from the Delta St. John’s Hotel. We’ll gather in the hotel lobby at 18:00 and board a bus for a short trip up Signal Hill, a national historic site, to arrive at the venue. Buses will leave the hotel on the half hour until 19:00. The GEO CENTRE is one of the most unique buildings in the province, as the glass-encased entry is the only section of the building that is above ground. Most of the 33,000 square feet of floor space is underground, encased in solid rock walls. Once we arrive, there will be time to explore the GEO CENTRE’s current displays, including the Titanic exhibit. The story of the passengers and crew is told, including recent information gained from exploration of the famous luxury steam liner, which struck an iceberg and sank in 1912, just 560 kilometres from St. John’s. At 19:30, we’ll gather in the three-storey high reception hall and dine as the breathtaking planets of our solar system are suspended overhead. Meal choices include garden salad and your choice of pan-fried cod with scrunchions or stuffed chicken breast or vegetarian strudel (sautéed vegetables in a garlic/ginger sauce, wrapped in a phyllo pastry) and dessert with coffee or tea. A cash bar will be available. Following dinner, you can sing and dance to traditional Newfoundland music. The Canadian Occupational Therapy Foundation will host a live auction of many interesting items. Proceeds support occupational therapy research in Canada. (To donate an auction item, contact Sangita Kamblé at [email protected].) If you want to bring home a unique souvenir, the GEO CENTRE gift shop will be open, offering fossils, collectible semi-precious stone eggs and agate wind chimes, among other items. Our bus will depart from the GEO CENTRE and return to the hotel starting at 22:00 and on the half hour until 24:00 to ensure everyone returns from our out-of-thisworld experience. The Johnson GEO CENTRE is wheelchair accessible. Seating is limited. Tickets must be pre-purchased as there will be no on-site ticket sales. Découvrez l’histoire incroyable de notre planète en participant à l’activité prévue au Johnson GEO CENTRE. Touchez des pierres datant de près de quatre milliards d’années ou palpez un morceau de l’ancienne croûte océanique. Visitez le merveilleux Stellarium, un modèle en trois dimensions qui montre les 250 étoiles les plus rapprochées de la Terre. Vous y verrez de magnifiques photographies prises par la NASA, illustrant des galaxies, la nébuleuse et d’autres clichés de l’espace, parmi les nombreux et fascinants présentoirs géologiques. Le GEO CENTRE est situé à 10 minutes en voiture du Delta St. John’s Hotel. Nous nous rassemblerons à 18 h dans le hall d’entrée de l’hôtel et monterons à bord d’un bus pour faire le court trajet jusqu’au sommet de Signal Hill, un lieu historique national. Un bus quittera l’hôtel à toutes les demi-heures, jusqu’à 19 h. Le GEO CENTRE est l’un des édifices les plus remarquables dans la province, puisque l’entrée à murs-écrans en verre est la seule section de l’édifice se trouvant au-dessus du niveau du sol. La majorité des 33.000 pieds carrés de surface utile sont sous terre, encaissés dans de solides murs de pierre. À notre arrivée, nous aurons le temps d’explorer les présentoirs actuels du GEO CENTRE, notamment l’exposition sur le Titanic. L’histoire des passagers et de l’équipage est racontée et les présentoirs contiennent de l’information récente obtenue lors de l’exploration du célèbre navire à vapeur qui a heurté un iceberg et qui a coulé en 1912, à 560 kilomètres à peine de St. John’s. À 19 h 30, nous nous rassemblerons dans la salle de réception et dégusterons un merveilleux souper, sous les incroyables planètes de notre système solaire, suspendues au-dessus de nos têtes. Les choix de menus sont, une salade du jardin et votre choix entre un filet de morue pané accompagné de morceaux de porc frit croustillant, une poitrine de poulet farcie ou un repas végétarien (des légumes sautés dans une sauce à l’ail et au gingembre, enveloppés dans une pâte phyllo) et enfin, un dessert servi avec un café ou une tasse de thé. Un bar payant sera disponible. Après le repas, vous pourrez chanter et danser au son de la musique traditionnelle de Terre-Neuve. La Fondation canadienne d’ergothérapie animera une enchère, où de nombreux articles intéressants seront vendus. Les profits de l’enchère serviront à appuyer la recherche en ergothérapie au Canada. (Si vous désirez faire le don d’un article pour l’enchère, communiquez avec Sangita Kamblé, à [email protected].) Si vous souhaitez rapporter un souvenir unique, la boutique de souvenirs du GEO CENTRE sera ouverte; vous y trouverez, entre autres, des fossiles, des pierres semi-précieuses et des carillons éoliens fabriqués avec des agates. Notre bus quittera le GEO CENTRE à partir de 22 h, à toutes les demi-heures, jusqu’à 24 h, afin de veiller à ce que tout le monde revienne sur terre, après cette expérience extraterrestre. Le Johnson GEO CENTRE est accessible aux personnes en fauteuil roulant. Les places sont limitées. Les billets doivent être achetés à l’avance, car il n’y aura pas de vente de billet sur les lieux. *Ticketed event (not included in conference registration fee.)

Join us for a walking ghost tour through the haunted laneways of Canada’s oldest city. Your guide will bring back to life the memories of public hangings, lost loves and ghastly murders. You will also step past forgotten cemeteries and unmarked graves. Since Newfoundland weather can be unpredictable, the walking tour will proceed despite clear skies, drizzle, cold and fog. Both the New York Times and the Toronto Star have recommended this haunted hike as a “must see” attraction. Participants will meet in the Delta St. John’s Hotel lobby at 20:45. Family and friends are welcome to attend. The hike is generally suitable for children over eight years old. Parents are encouraged to speak to their children beforehand and ensure they are up for a 20:45 - 24:00 Lorsque le soleil se couche et la brume de l’Atlantique se lève, St. John’s devient enveloppée dans l’obscurité.

Votre guide vous fera revivre l’atmosphère des pendaisons publiques, des amours perdus et des meurtres sordides. Vous passerez tout près de cimetières oubliés et de pierres tombales anonymes. Comme le temps est imprévisible à Terre-Neuve, la visite aura lieu, que le ciel soit dégagé ou que la pluie, le froid ou le brouillard soient au rendezvous. Le New York Times et le Toronto Star ont recommandé cette visite hantée et l’ont décrite comme une attraction « incontournable ».

While not truly “gruelling,” the hike does require moderate physical effort over a significant distance with lots of hills. It will end next to the Delta St. John’s, at the world famous George Street, a very short street that holds the most bars and pubs per square foot of any street in North America. The Dalhousie University, School of Occupational Therapy then invites souls who have survived the Haunted Hike to a George Street pub to celebrate the school’s 25th anniversary. All alumnae, occupational therapy colleagues and friends are welcome to join this celebration filled with Celtic music and beverages to suit any taste.

La visite a une durée d’environ 90 minutes et elle n’est pas accessible aux personnes en fauteuil roulant. Bien qu’elle ne soit pas vraiment « terrifiante », la visite à pied exige un effort physique modéré sur une assez longue distance comportant beaucoup de côtes. La visite se termine près du Delta St. John’s, sur la célèbre rue George, une très petite rue qui comprend le plus de bars et de pubs par pied carré en Amérique du Nord. La School of Occupational Therapy de la Dalhousie University invitera ensuite les âmes qui ont survécu à la visite hantée à un pub de la rue George pour célébrer son 25e anniversaire. Tous les anciens diplômés, les collègues ergothérapeutes et les amis sont invités à cette célébration qui sera accompagnée de musique celtique et de boissons pour satisfaire tous les goûts.

During this three-day workshop, participants will be introduced to the ADL Profile, an ecological measure of ADL independence. This assessment is applied throughout the continuum of care and provides crucial information both for discharge planning from inpatient rehabilitation settings and for ADL assessments required by third party payors. What makes the ADL Profile unique is that it also analyzes executive processes, previous life habits, perception of subject and significant other, as well as environmental factors. Using this assessment should permit more targeted interventions to maximize social participation. Therapists who attend this workshop will be introduced to the non-structured evaluation approach of the ADL Profile and its theoretical underpinnings. Videotapes of evaluation sessions will illustrate how to administer the assessment as well as the repercussions of executive processes on the performance of daily activities. Video analysis of ADL Profile performance-based assessments will be used to familiarize therapists with how to document observable behaviors and how to rate performance. Finally, therapists will learn how assessment results can serve to guide treatment interventions. All registrants will receive a complete ADL Profile assessment in their registration package. Learning objectives: Participants will… 1. become familiar with the ADL Profile assessment; its basic principles and the user’s guide. 2. learn how to characterize the repercussions of deficits in executive processes in everyday tasks with the use of the ADL Profile assessment. 3. learn how to conduct both parts of the assessment: the performance-based assessment and the interview. 4. understand how to interpret the results of the performance-based assessment and interview in relation to a handicap situation. 5. gain confidence to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of this ADL assessment. Note: Some workshop exercises must be completed in advance. About the presenters Carolina Bottari is a clinical specialist in brain injuries and a lecturer at Université de Montréal. She is a co-author of the ADL Profile. Ms. Bottari is a PhD candidate in biomedical sciences (rehabilitation option) at the Université de Montréal. Her doctoral thesis centers on the development and validation of the ADL Profile Revised. Élisabeth Dutil is an internationally respected researcher and educator. She is a full professor at Université de Montréal and researcher at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation of Greater Montreal. She is coauthor of the ADL Profile, of the Profil du Loisir and of a theoretical model pertaining to the work assessment of individuals with a traumatic brain injury. Emily Lemay-Brault is a clinical specialist in brain injuries and works at the Institut de réadaptation de Montréal. She has extensive experience in the administration of the ADL Profile within home and community environments. 2 Pressure management: A team approach Tuesday, July 10 and Wednesday, July 11 08:30 - 16:30 Presenters: Linda Norton, Other team members to be announced A recent study funded by the Canadian Association of Wound Care (CAWC) estimated that the prevalence of pressure ulcers across the Canadian health care system is 26%. Preventing pressure ulcers should become a high priority for health care providers, considering the impact of quality of life and the costs to our health care system to care for clients with pressure ulcers. Each member of the interdisciplinary team, including the client, contributes to the prevention and management of pressure ulcers. Participants will explore the Preparing the Wound Bed Paradigm as a foundation to understand the roles various team members play in the management of pressure ulcers, including their own. An important focus is managing pressure and shearing forces on all surfaces and with all activities. Managing pressure can be accomplished through several different paradigms, including pressure distribution, alternating air and force isolation. Current evidence and practical approaches to these theories will be explored by the participants through discussion, case examples and handson experimentation. Learning objectives Participants will… 1. understand their role in pressure ulcer care. 2. explore the guiding literature related to pressure management. 3. apply the best practice guidelines for pressure ulcer management to a case study. 4. integrate best practices regarding pressure management into their practice.

About the presenter Linda Norton is an occupational therapist who has worked in the area of seating and mobility for more than 15 years. She has completed the International Interdisciplinary Wound Care Course. Ms. Norton is a coauthor of the CAWC Best Practice Recommendations for Pressure Ulcers, and is currently working on a team revising the Registered Nurses Association Best Practice Guidelines for the Assessment and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers. 3 Developing clinical practice guidelines: Focus on private practice Tuesday, July 10 08:30 - 16:30 Presenter: Susan Rappolt Facilitators: Susan Swanson, Lorraine Mischuk clinical practice guideline development. 5. strategize how to engage clinical and methodological experts and stakeholders (clients, practitioners, researchers, funders and professional organizations) in the process of clinical practice guideline development. 6. work collaboratively with peers to create a proposal for the development of a clinical practice guideline that will address a high-priority need in their occupational therapy practice. About the presenter Dr. Susan Rappolt is an associate professor in the Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy and the Graduate Department of Rehabilitation Science at the University of Toronto. Her research focuses on strategies to promote the integration of research evidence into everyday clinical practices and how practice contexts affect client-centred evidence-based occupational therapy. Dr. Rappolt has also studied the effects of clinical practice guidelines on professional autonomy, the effectiveness of web-based continuing professional development and the relationship between organizational support and research utilization in rehabilitation. Process-oriented clinical practice guidelines that are based on the best available research evidence and relevant expertise can provide assurance to private practice occupational therapists that their clinical decision-making, assessments and interventions are clientcentred, relevant, appropriately sequenced, comprehensive and efficient. Clinical practice guidelines can also inform clients how occupational therapy is practiced and inform funders, such as third-party payors and insurance companies, when to make referrals to occupational therapy. This pre-conference workshop, geared toward the specific needs of private practice occupational therapists, reflects CAOT member feedback from the 2005 Professional Issue Forum on Clinical Practice Guidelines and supports the CAOT educational initiatives from the new CAOT Position Statement: Clinical Practice Guidelines: Implications for Occupational Therapy. Learning objectives Participants will work individually and in groups of therapists with similar interests to: 1. become familiar with various terms (e.g. best practices, clinical practice guidelines, utilization guidelines, etc; including what they are, how they are different, how they are used). 2. define priorities for process-oriented clinical practice guidelines in private practice occupational therapy. 3. learn how clinical practice guidelines are developed. 4. examine local, regional, national and international resources to support occupational therapy 22 MARS 2007 • RCE - PROGRAMME DU CONGRÈS • NUMÉRO 1 • SUPPLÉMENT 1 • VOLUME 74 Leading the way to healthy occupation • July 11 - 14 Pre-Conference Workshops • Ateliers pré-congrès 4 How to facilitate successful return to work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder Wednesday, July 11 08:30 - 16:30 Presenters: Jocelyn Cowls, Edith Galloway This interactive workshop will offer participants the opportunity to learn and practice strategies that help facilitate a successful return to work.

T37 13:00 - 13:25 Paper - Practice - Adult physical health Stroke survivors’ experiences of the hospital to home transition period Gill Chard (University of Alberta, Edmonton), Trish Manns, Laura May, Pat Edney 11:00 - 11:25 [email protected] Paper - Professional issues - Adult general Occupational therapy service delivery: New challenges in complex continuing care Hannah Seo (Toronto Rehabilitation Institute), Debbie Hebert, Laura Khoo, Lindsay Darling, Judy Smith [email protected] Some complex continuing care settings are incorporating slow stream rehabilitation services. Occupational therapists’ roles have evolved in response. Current literature and the problem-solving approach used to develop a new model of service delivery will be discussed. Changes to the practice of occupational therapy are evolving through best practice analysis. Physical function, rather than community integration is often the focus of community stroke services. Individual interviews were conducted with stroke survivors, their families and therapists during the six-week transition period following discharge home. Adjustment, unwanted dependence and new priorities were identified by stroke survivors, differences in expectations existed with others. T38 13:00 - 13:25 Paper - Research - Adult general (Re-)visioning gender in work-related health research Susan Street (Dalhousie University, Halifax) [email protected] Gender has received little attention in workrelated health research. Much of the research has failed to examine the gendered assumptions and risks that exist in women’s and men’s occupational lives. This exploratory study uses a gender-sensitive thematic analysis to examine the treatment of gender in workrelated health research from 1980-2005. 32 MARS 2007 • RCE - PROGRAMME DU CONGRÈS • NUMÉRO 1 • SUPPLÉMENT 1 • VOLUME 74 Leading the way to healthy occupation • July 11 - 14 Thursday, July 12 • Jeudi 12 juillet T39 Session T39 - T46 13:00 - 13:25 T43 13:00 - 13:55 Student poster - Research - Child/adolescent physical health CAOT sponsored session How children with physical disabilities view using on-screen keyboards Alysia Carpe (University of Toronto), Katie Harder, Cynthia Tam, Denise Reid Children with a physical disability often experience significant challenges with written productivity because they are unable to print or use a regular keyboard.

S9 13:00 - 13:25 Paper - Research - Non specific to client group Are effective interprofessional preceptorships possible in healthcare environments? Elizabeth Taylor (University of Alberta, Edmonton), Sharla King, Esther Suter, Nancy Arthur [email protected] Traditional preceptorships assist students to make the transition between theoretical learning and on-site practice. However, with health care environments moving toward collaborative team approaches, it is important to develop new models of preceptorship. This study will report on suggested environmental changes that need to occur to create effective interprofessional preceptorship. [email protected] This two-year study examined what influences the quality of mother-infant interaction. Thirteen motherinfant dyads were videotaped twice over six months when they performed feeding, playing and engaging in motor movements. The conceptualization contributes to the knowledge of the occupation of mothering, infant occupation and environmental contexts of home-based occupational therapy practice. 13:30 S11 13:30 - 13:55 Student paper - Practice - Adult psychosocial health The lived experience: Mental health consumers of vocational rehabilitation Sarah Browne (University of British Columbia, Vancouver), Jessie Farran [email protected] This study presents the experiences and satisfaction level of mental health consumers participating in a vocational rehabilitation program involving occupational therapists.

Strategies that assist therapists during their assessment of shared cognitive activities, such as driving, will be outlined. Funded by CIRPD/CIHR and AUTO21. This presentation describes the ability of the Functional Neglect Scale (a measure designed to identify neglect while administering the Functional Independence Measure) to identify acute neglect and predict one-year post-stroke outcomes compared to a bedside battery of pencil and paper tests. Results suggest that this assessment has clinical utility. S25 14:00 - 14:25 Student poster - Professional issues - Non specific to client group Solutions: Overcoming problems one sheet at a time David Robens (University of British Columbia, Vancouver), Michael Ivany, Donna Drynan [email protected] Part of the occupational therapy profession is identifying challenges to functional activity and helping clients overcome those barriers. As part of our curriculum, we designed a hands-free automated toilet paper dispenser to allow for greater functional independence for clients with difficulty tearing toilet paper independently.

The thematic analysis of songs written by participants will promote enhanced clinical practice through an understanding of the needs of people living with serious mental illness. 14:00 - 14:25 Student poster - Research - Child/adolescent general S31 Children’s occupational engagement: What are parenting magazines telling our clients? Heather Moyse (University of Toronto), Jane Davis, Helene Polatajko Parenting magazines resonate with many parents and reflect and potentially shape norms, values and ideals pertaining to the occupational lives of children. This paper will present the findings of a thematic analysis of articles which was performed to uncover the emergent themes and patterns pertaining to children’s ideal occupational engagement. Student paper - Research - Older adult physical health S28 14:00 - 14:25 14:30 - 14:55 Reliability of a power mobility assessment and safety practice guideline Elizabeth Hansen (University of British Columbia, Vancouver), Wendy Brelsford, W.B. Mortenson [email protected] This paper presents the findings of the third phase of a research project to develop and test a residential care power mobility safety and assessment guideline. The guideline demonstrates adequate reliability and its use will help therapists deal with power mobility safety issues in a consistent and equitable manner. S32 14:30 - 14:55 Paper - Research - Adult general Paper - Practice - Adult general Characteristics of worker participation in the workplace and in return-to-work Margaret Friesen (University of Manitoba, Winnipeg), Mary Anseeuw, Jean Lee, Christina Nichol, Steve Yuska Meeting the challenges of multiple sclerosis: A program for caregivers Marcia Finlayson (University of Illinois at Chicago), Katharine Preissner, Jennifer Garcia [email protected] This paper describes the challenges and needs of caregivers of older adults with multiple sclerosis identified through 302 interviews and an occupational therapy program designed to address these issues. This work is supported by the Midwest Roybal Center and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. [email protected] Characteristics of worker participation in the workplace and in return-to-work are depicted in a model of worker participation. The model is being used as a framework for development of a worker participation questionnaire. Occupational therapists will benefit from understanding how characteristics of worker participation compare to client-centred occupational therapy practice. S33 14:30 - 14:55 Poster - Research - Child/adolescent general S29 14:00 - 14:25 Paper - Practice - Older adult general Tools to influence policy: Exchanging experiences Lisa Paton (Private Practice, St. John's), Rosemary Lester Do weighted vests affect early communication in toddlers with autism? Nicole Stein (Alberta Children's Hospital, Calgary), Shirley Leew, Ben Gibbard, Margaret Clark [email protected] [email protected] Occupational therapists require tools to use in emerging roles such as policy development. The presentation will discuss an application and tools to enable stakeholders to influence policy while participants consider the opportunities to enhance policy development in their own practice. Weighted vests, a strategy used by occupational therapists to help regulate a child's nervous system for functional skill development, may be used to enhance early social communication behaviour for language acquisition in children with autism spectrum disorders. This multiple baseline study provides evidence for treatment techniques assumed from clinical practice. 54 MARS 2007 • RCE - PROGRAMME DU CONGRÈS • NUMÉRO 1 • SUPPLÉMENT 1 • VOLUME 74 Leading the way to healthy occupation • July 11 - 14 Saturday, July 14 • Samedi 14 Juillet S34 Session S34 - S40 14:30 - 14:55 S37 14:30 - 15:25 Affiche - Recherche - Personnes âgées générale Extended discussion - Research - Non specific to client group Participation sociale après un accident vasculaire cérébral : comparaison des perceptions patientsaidants Valérie Poulin (Université de Sherbrooke), Johanne Desrosiers [email protected] L’étude vérifie la validité des réponses d’un procheaidant pour documenter la participation après l'accident vasculaire cérébral (AVC). La concordance entre les répondants (40 patients avec AVC, 40 proches-aidants) au questionnaire Mesure des habitudes de vie est satisfaisante, appuyant l'utilisation des réponses des proches-aidants lorsque les patients ne peuvent répondre eux-mêmes. Collaborative research: A strategy to bridge the research-practice gap Brigitte Vachon (Université de Sherbrooke, Longueuil), Marie-José Durand, Jeannette LeBlanc [email protected] Collaborative research can be used as a new strategy to facilitate knowledge translation. This presentation will allow participants to identify how to facilitate collaboration between clinicians and researchers and how to plan and conduct a collaborative research project to increase knowledge translation. S38 14:30 - 15:25 Extended discussion - Practice - Non specific to client group S35 14:30 - 14:55 Affiche - Rechereche - Personnes âgées santé physique Télésanté, télémédecine ou téléréadaptation, comment s’y retrouver? Mireille Jobidon (Institut universitaire de Gériatrie de Montréal), Jacqueline Rousseau, Francine Ducharme, Jean Meunier, Jocelyne St-Arnaud, Alain St-Arnaud [email protected] Avec l’utilisation des technologies de communication à des fins thérapeutiques, on assiste à l’émergence de la télémédecine, télésanté et téléréadaptation. Il s’avère essentiel aux ergothérapeutes de connaître ces différentes technologies qui ouvrent de nouvelles avenues à la pratique. Une recension des écrits a permis de clarifier cette terminologie. S36 14:30 - 14:55 Work-life balance: Practical tools for daily use Hilary Drummond (LEAP Coaching, Oliver) [email protected] This session will discuss the concepts involved in work-life balance and then will take a coaching approach to facilitate discussion amongst participants. Practical tools will be provided that therapists can use in their own lives and with their clients. 15:00 S39 15:00 - 15:25 Paper - Research - Adult general Experiences of persons with disabilities in the workplace: A meta-synthesis Rebecca Gewurtz (University of Toronto), Bonnie Kirsh Poster - Practice - Older adult general [email protected] Measurement properties of the Occupational Therapy Discharge Needs Assessment Cara Shorter (Lions Gate Hospital, North Vancouver), Linda Boronowski, Laura Fawcett, William C. Miller [email protected] The Occupational Therapy Discharge Needs Assessment was designed to assess whether pre-discharge home occupational therapy assessments should be completed by hospital or community therapists. This research project studied the psychometric properties of the tool and discusses future implications for practice. This project was funded by the Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute. This paper explores how organizational culture influences the experiences of persons with disabilities in the workplace. Using an interpretive and inductive approach to analysis, the authors synthesized the findings from published qualitative investigations. The findings highlight how occupational therapists can focus their interventions towards systemic change. S40 15:00 - 15:25 Conférence (étudiante) - Pratique - Personnes âgées générale Évaluation de la sécurité des personnes âgées francophone à domicile Anne Brasset-Latulippe (Université d'Ottawa), Sylviane Bourgault-Côté, Valérie Meilleur, Michèle Hébert [email protected] La traduction du SAFER-HOME en français sera présentée ainsi que ses qualités psychométriques : la validité de contenu, validité transculturelle et fidélité des résultats. Cet outil est particulièrement intéressant puisque qu’il pourra offrir aux ergothérapeutes et aux aînés francophones un mode éprouvé d’évaluation de la sécurité à domicile.

Mary Clarke (University of Toronto), Sandeep Marwaha, Lynn Cockburn, Mandy Lowe An occupational therapy scope of practice review for staffing allocation Jill Cruikshank (Homewood Health Centre, Guelph) [email protected] [email protected] Occupational justice theory challenges people to address injustices of participation but there is little guidance for therapists regarding the application of this theory to practice. This study examined clinicians' views regarding the application to practice. Participants responded with feelings of hope about the potential of the profession to make social change. Judicious allocation of occupational therapy resources is a challenge with the competing needs of program-managed services. A data collection process to determine the value and perceived need for occupational therapy services will be outlined. The demonstrated use of continuous quality processes and tools for resource decisions will be beneficial to managers. S42 15:30 - 16:30 President's Address and Closing Ceremony • Discours de la présidente de l’ACE et cérémonie de fermeture 15:00 - 15:25 Poster - Research - Adult physical health International experts judge content validity of the ADL Profile-Revised Carolina Bottari (Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation, Montreal), Elisabeth Dutil, Clement Dassa, Constant Rainville An international multidisciplinary group of experts (n= 8) positively judged the pertinence and clarity of a new assessment tool, the ADL Profile-Revised, developed to estimate independence in activities of daily living in traumatic brain injury. This enhances its psychometric quality and adds credibility to its use. S43 15:00 - 15:25 Poster - Research - Child/adolescent psychosocial health Questionnaire development: Occupational therapy for early communication in autism Michèle L.J. Hébert (McGill University, Montreal) [email protected] To address the lack of information regarding current occupational therapy practice for early communication in toddlers with autism, a self-administered French-English questionnaire was developed. Having ensured content and face validity of the questionnaire and having achieved a high test-retest reliability, the final version of the questionnaire and preliminary results are presented. S44 15:00 - 15:25 Poster - Research - Adult psychosocial health And then I lost that life: Occupational reconstruction in schizophrenia Karen Rebeiro Gruhl (Northeast Mental Health Centre, Sudbury), Alicia Gould, Sharon DeSouza [email protected] A qualitative study was conducted to explore the experience of engaging in occupation for young men with schizophrenia. Four men participated in two focus groups and spoke of the profound occupational disruption that occurs as a result of schizophrenia. The study highlights the challenges of reconstructing occupational lives post diagnosis. 56 MARS 2007 • RCE - PROGRAMME DU CONGRÈS • NUMÉRO 1 • SUPPLÉMENT 1 • VOLUME 74 Leading the way to healthy occupation • July 11 - 14 Registration information Renseignements concernant l’inscription Please read the following information carefully Veuillez lire attentivement l’information suivante avant before completing the conference registration form. de remplir le formulaire d’inscription au congrès.
