OTD Capstone Projects

Abstract

This doctoral capstone project was conducted in collaboration with Alverson Pediatric Therapy, a private concierge pediatric practice dedicated to empowering parents with the tools and skills necessary to support their children's developmental milestones. The primary objective of this project was to create a series of educational resources focused on a range of pediatric topics, aimed at equipping parents, healthcare providers, and educators with the knowledge to help children thrive. Topics covered included Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Sensory Modulation Disorder, Sensory Discrimination, Sensory-Motor-Based Disorders, and more. The final outcomes of the project consisted of twelve comprehensive educational handouts, along with presentations on ADHD and Sensory Processing, designed to offer practical insights and strategies for managing these conditions.
