Conferences are good for the OT soul. 💙
This past weekend, our OT team had the opportunity to present at the 2026 MOTA/NOTA/IOTA Joint Conference at MCC Penn Valley in Kansas City and connect with other occupational therapy professionals from across the region.
Conferences create a space for learning, sharing, and growing—sharing the work we are doing, learning from others, and bringing new ideas back into our practice. They give us a chance to step outside of our day-to-day routines, reconnect with the why behind what we do, and feel re-energized about our profession.
We are proud of our OTs who shared their knowledge and experience and represented our team so well. Their willingness to teach, learn, and contribute helps strengthen OT today while building a stronger future for our profession.
And if you see one of your favorite OTs in these photos, give them a like or leave a comment to show them some love! 💙👏

We’re proud to celebrate Michelle Furman, OTD, OTR/L, for being invited to speak to the Siteman Survivorship Program at BJC Move on Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment and Occupational Therapy.

A special thank you to Program PT, Tricia Creel, PT, DPT, for the invitation and for helping bring OT expertise into this important conversation about cancer survivorship. 💙

Cancer treatment can impact attention, memory, organization, fatigue, and daily activities. Occupational therapy can help cancer survivors develop practical strategies to navigate these changes and return to the activities that matter most.

We’re honored to see OT represented in this important work!

🎒 Don’t let therapy fall through the cracks during back-to-school!

The transition back to school can be a big adjustment for kids and families. Occupational therapists can play a critical role in helping your kiddo feel confident, supported, and ready for the school year.

OTs can help with:
📚 Learning strategies and classroom participation
🧠 Focus, attention, and organization
💛 Emotional regulation and coping strategies
⏰ Routines, transitions, and independence
✏️ Fine motor and other skills needed for school success

Whether your child needs support getting back into a routine or strategies to help them thrive in the classroom, OT can be an important part of the back-to-school team!

Occupational therapy focuses on building skills that can be used in someone’s natural environment, including home, school, and the community, specifically places like the Saint Louis Zoo. WashU Medicine Occupational Therapists Jane Lavelle, MOT, OTR/L and Margaret Bassi, OTD, OTR/L, BCP applied this by hosting occupational therapy sessions at the Zoo.

By completing therapy in the community, patients had the opportunity to generalize skills for self-regulation, executive functioning, and fine motor control from the clinic into the places that matter most. Kudos Jane and Margaret for creating this opportunity for your patients. If you or someone you know could benefit from OT services, learn more at https://otservices.wustl.edu/

👀 Don't let low vision keep you from doing the things you love.

If reading, cooking, managing medications, enjoying hobbies, or getting around safely has become more challenging, you're not alone—and help is available.

While low vision may not be fully corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery, occupational therapy can help you maximize your remaining vision through personalized strategies, adaptive tools, and techniques that support greater independence and confidence.

✨ Take the first step toward living more independently. Talk with your eye care provider or healthcare provider about a referral to occupational therapy for low vision rehabilitation, or contact our team to learn how we can help.

Your vision matters. Your independence matters. Let us help you make the most of both.
