This capstone aims to advocate for the translation of knowledge regarding oculomotor dysfunction (OD) treatment into the field of occupational therapy. Research shows that occupational therapy can play an important role in the treatment of OD. Most research involving occupational therapists and OD is concerned with traumatic oculomotor dysfunction (TOD) in either adult or pediatric populations. Due to the gap in research involving occupational therapists and non-traumatic oculomotor dysfunction (NTOD), little is known about the involvement of occupational therapists in the treatment of NTOD. The quantitative pilot study embedded within this capstone project explores the current practices of occupational therapists in regard to treating TOD and NTOD in both pediatric and adult populations in order to prompt the translation of knowledge regarding OD treatment into occupational therapy practice and encourage future research. This project will provide relevant background literature on OD, the implications of the project to occupational therapy practice, the project implementation plan, a reflection on the capstone process, and concluding thought on the capstone project.
