#37: School-based OT Workload Trends with Jayson Davies

OT Potential Podcast | Occupational Therapy CEUs

The change from “caseload” to “workload” may not seem that dramatic, but make no mistake it is a quiet revolution that is happening in school-based OT.

It fundamentally shifts how we deliver care.

The article we are discussing on the podcast encourages a shifting away from an individualist, medical model “caseload” based approach. And, encourages us to embrace a “workload” approach, which hypothetically yields opportunities to focus more on population health.

This shift has been underway for a while now, and the research we are looking at gives us an update on how this change is playing out on the front lines.

After our article review, I’m so excited to talk about this with Jayson Davies, M.A., OTR/L of the OT School House! Jayson has experienced this shift in his own practice, and has a wealth of experience supporting school-based OTs.
