REGISTRATION IN BIO:

✨Diverse-OT National is excited to announce our first donation-based CE course, “Unlesrning Ableism, Relearning Access” taught by Rise O. (@riotous_roots)✨
.
.

✨About the Course✨

In this 2-hr VIRTUAL workshop participants will ground themselves collectively in the definition and meanings, and impacts of access, disability, and ableism. As well as how they are impacted as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) and influence on client outcomes and interactions.

Participants will be led through a discussion on intersections of access, disability, ableism with the healthcare system, examining the ways we contribute to ableism as practitioners and how we can disrupt ableism both internally and amongst each other. Lastly, participants will talk about the ways that power dynamics, and unacknowledged “savior complex” can contribute negatively to a client’s wellbeing.

Participants will leave with tools to begin both unlearning and learning ways for us to be grounded in access, as well as tangible moves to compassionately investigate their own OT practices.

✨About the Speaker✨

This class will be taught by Rise (they/he), who is a queer Black disabled femme who lives on Potawatomi, Ojibwa, and Odawa Territory (Chicago). Rise is a visual artist, poet, full spectrum (birth/postpartum/grief & loss/abortion) birthworker, yoga teacher, meditation facilitator, gender affirming and trauma informed care and disability justice educator, access consultant and community care worker.

Rise is deeply invested in disability justice, access, centering wellness for Black queer folk, trauma education, and rest. When not doing the most, they enjoy daydreaming, dancing, and hanging with their support pup, Jelly Ferocious.

Rise started their business Riotous Roots, as a means to house their talents, passions and dreams for their communities in one place. You can learn more about them at www.riotousroots.com or @riotous_roots on or @covidcautious_careworkers on Instagram

T is for trauma and in case you were wondering… yes, all of those patients were my patients at one time. I’ve seen a lot of traumas in acute care, and at first it really freaked me out. I used to say that my kid will NEVER get to do anything! Now I have it narrowed down to trampolines without tight nets and four wheelers. Helmets are critical. We go places in pairs; no one gets left behind. No impaired driving 🚗
Sometimes you see things in charts and you just don’t understand and you ask the patient… and they can’t even explain it to you 🤷🏼‍♀️ Human behavior is tricky, and one small mistake can cost you your life. When you think about it, a stay in the hospital is LUCKY. An ex fix is a small price to pay in the long haul.

$O is for orthopedics 🦴 If you’re in acute care, odds are you’ll be assigned to the Ortho floor at some point🏥 There, you may see diagnoses such as 🦴hip and knee replacements 🦴rotator cuff injuries and shoulder replacements 🦴pelvic and sacral fractures 🦴and more falls than you probably thought possible There’s a lot of education involved in Ortho, since many times the initial evaluation is the only time you get to see that patient! So buckle up, buttercup— and make sure you’ve got all your learning objectives down pat! This is where that Phys Rehab education REALLY comes in handy! 😉$
