Current evidence supports the use of technology in the clinical education of older adults, and the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education standards for entry-level occupational therapy programs mandate instruction on the use of technology to support occupational performance. The literature does not clearly define specific strategies to teach entry-level occupational therapy students how to implement technology with older adults. This project will result in a manuscript submitted to a peer-reviewed occupational therapy journal, which will include a literature review of the educational interventions that are most efficacious for the clinical education of older adults using technology. The recent evidence will help the author define specific recommendations for teaching entry-level occupational therapy practitioners to integrate technology into older adults’ education programs. With technology continually changing, occupational therapy instructors must increase their awareness of new applications and computer programs that occupational therapists can use in client education to maximize knowledge translation to their students.
