#23: The Research Behind the CO-OP Approach™ with Tee Stock (CE Course)

OT Potential Podcast | Occupational Therapy CEUs

If you haven’t been following the exciting research behind the CO-OP Approach™, this episode is for you.

CO-OP stands for Cognitive Orientation to (Daily) Occupational Performance. This is a trademarked approach with a formal certification program, so we won’t be teaching the actual method. However, we’ll be discussing the research behind the CO-OP Approach™, as well as some ways it can impact your practice.

We’ll explore the primary research article, where the CO-OP Approach™ is performed by OTs in a group setting. You’ll see its impact on “body function, activity, AND participation,” and you’ll be pleased to learn that the researchers determined the approach works 🙂

After spending time in the article, we will be joined by Tee Stock, OTR/L, OTD, MS, MBA. Tee owns her own practice providing pediatric therapy in the home, and she is also certified in the CO-OP Approach™. She and I will discuss the research and practical implications for OTs, so you can gain useful takeaways for your own practice.
