This project is the creation and implementation of a continuing education course delivered in a four-hour period to pediatric occupational therapists on evidence-based information regarding the management of common congenital hand conditions seen in school-aged children. This course will cover anatomy, conservative and surgical approaches, and common orthotics for the various conditions. In addition, the course will capture and defend the need for occupation-based, client-centered interventions to increase the school-age child’s participation in daily occupations from a physical, emotional, and functional standpoint.
