Cardboard Basics in Adaptive Design (Day 1)
Tuesday 19 August, 9:30 AM 2014 to 3:30 PM 2014
313 West 36th Street, New York, NY, 10018 (View Map)
Day 1 of a 3-day series:
Ideal for Occupational and Physical Therapists, Teachers, and Parents
Earn 0.5 AOTA Continuing Education Units* or 6 NYPTA Contact Hours
Participants conduct a self-guided tour of customized equipment and view a film short outlining 2 case studies. Participants learn basic construction techniques for single-layer cardboard and safe hand tool use. Participants individually make a pen holder; then in small groups, design and build a mock-up seat insert with appropriate features such as laterals and footrests, providing justification for the adaptation.
Course includes a 1 hour lunch break. Bring your own or purchase from a variety of nearby locations.
Following completion of this 1-day course, participants will be able to:
- How the client is functioning without the device
- Why that functional level is problematic--listing 2 or 3 consequences that negatively impact physical, social, academic, emotional or other developmental growth
- Projections of benefits expected to prevent the 2 or 3 negative consequences listed above.
Please call 212/904-1200 for any additional information.
Cardboard Basics in Adaptive Design is Day 1 of a 3-day series, Adaptive Devices Made to Fit, in which participants learn basic construction techniques for single-layer and tri-wall cardboard and safe hand and power tool use to make a basic adaptation and a user-specific adaptation with justification.
After Day 1, in preparation for Day 2, participants select either a monitor stand, footrest, or easel to build for a client on their caseloads; gather user-specific information necessary for building the adaptation; and draft a brief justification.
Day 2, Making Adaptive Equipment Work (Usually given on Wednesdays): Participants present and discuss justifications and adaptation information. Participants learn tri-wall carpentry techniques and safe power tool use. Participants build selected basic adaptation and submit a finalized justification for it.
In preparation for Day 3, participants revise justifications or create new ones if selecting a different adaptation to build on Day 3, along with collecting new information.
Day 3, Adaptive Devices: Made to Fit (Usually given on Thursdays): Participants share the basic user-specific adaptation selected, a brief description of case, and justification for selection. Participants construct the adaptation from start to finish and then present final work to the group.
To register for Day 2 and Day 3, return to the ADA website or go to the Adaptive Design Events page on Eventbrite, after you complete your Day 1 registration.
