Build your expertise in pediatric trauma and attachment

Child abuse and trauma in the U.S. and globally is on the rise, and so is the need for highly skilled Occupational Therapists (OTs) who are trained to effectively treat a child living with the after-effects of trauma, violence, or neglect. The Intermediate OT Attachment and Trauma-Focused Training is a peer-developed, expert-led Professional Certification Program offered by the Association for Training on Trauma and Attachment in Children (ATTACh).

This intermediate-level online training equips OTs with the education, training, research, and resources needed to offer pediatric occupational therapy. This workshop would be the first tier of coursework to be completed for trauma and attachment in OT. As such it would be the requirement to enter the second tier discussing assessment more in-depth, as the third tier will focus on intervention. In this workshop, participants learn about a therapist’s role in attachment and trauma-informed care, recent research, diverse approaches of theorists, and the occupational function needed to help a developing child grow into the different roles across multiple settings. Instructors orient participants to different evidence-based techniques to care for the pediatric client, including sensory integration practice and developmental theory, and care team collaboration strategies. Participants should have general knowledge and understanding of typical development, including sensory integration practice.

This training is an online virtual event.
