Occupational Therapy Intervention for Clients With Multiple Sclerosis: Evidence-Based Practice

Course overview

This intermediate course provides rehabilitative personnel with the background and evidence to increase effective management of symptoms in people with MS. This up-to-date review will enable occupational therapists to better target the specific needs of their clients. While some standardization in assessments may be useful, individualization of assessment and treatment planning is needed. The evidence supporting assessment and intervention tools can help the therapist select assessments and interventions most likely to contribute to successful outcomes given a particular client’s characteristics. The evidence also provides an indication of the likely benefit of a particular intervention when it is used with the intensity, frequency and timing reported in the literature.
