Limited activity opportunities and social isolation are threats to occupational engagement and wellness, particularly when paired together. Last week, I had the chance to speak with the AOTA Tech Coordinators on “Using Virtual Interventions to Combat Social Isolation and Occupational Deprivation in Older Adults During the COVID-19 Crisis” and highlight some of the resources available to prevent this, including services by Papa, Totemic, and GrandPad. The webinar is now available through AOTA in their online CE Series on COVID-19 & OT, along with some excellent resources on Telehealth and accessing OT services during the pandemic.
