WNE annual Trunk or Treat 2026! 🎃👻💀 by @wne_otd

Our WNE OTD Program Director and students proudly attended Hill Day 2026 in Washington, D.C., to advocate for the occupational therapy profession and raise awareness of the important role OTs play in supporting individuals, families, and communities.

We’re proud to see our students engage in advocacy, connect with fellow occupational therapy professionals, and use their voices to help shape the future of our profession!

Hi everyone! We are Occupational Therapy Doctoral (OTD) students from Western New England University conducting a survey about children,ages 7-14, with cerebral palsy (CP) and their experiences accessing and using adaptive technology and assistive devices, such as, but not limited to, specialized wheelchairs, gait trainers, speech-generating devices, and adapted utensils.

You are eligible for this survey if
• You are the caregiver of a child or children, ages 7-14, with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy.
• You must also be living in New England, in one of these states: Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, or Vermont

The survey takes about 25 minutes. Participation is voluntary, and all information collected will remain confidential. This project has been approved by the Western New England University Institutional Review Board (IRB).

Your experiences can help us better understand the needs and challenges families face when accessing adaptive technology and assistive devices. If you are not eligible but know a family who may be, please consider sharing this post with them. Thank you for your time and support!
