Abstract
Occupational Therapy (OT) is ranked number three in top interventions and therapies for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as outlined by the Interactive Autism Network (2018), a web project of the Kennedy Krieger Institute which started in 2006. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a specific condition that is often addressed by occupational therapists in pediatrics using the educational and medical models as service delivery. Approximately 37% of new OT practitioners entered their first practice in pediatrics (ACOTE; Academic Council of Occupational Therapy Education, 2018). Education on these two service delivery models is imperative, in order for practitioners to provide accurate treatment plans which can be reimbursed by the payor, insurance, or school districts. A survey of occupational therapists and occupational therapist assistants was conducted to support the need to develop an online resource tool on these two service delivery models. A visual learning tool was the top choice of 48 respondents who completed the online survey. This in turn justified the need to have an online educational, informative tool that OT practitioners may refer to when in these practice settings, target population, and identifying each service delivery models. Thus, the creation of the website, Transition2Peds, an online educational tool may support OT practitioners, new or transitioning to pediatric autism population settings, to better understand these service delivery models.
