EBPOT Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Welcome to the EBPOT (Evidence-Based Paediatric Occupational Therapy) podcast. I'm Kim Griffin, a paediatric occupational therapist and your host. My goal with this podcast and newsletter is to make recently published evidence in the occupational therapy literature easily accessible to paediatric occupational therapists, particularly those working in schools.

The podcast focuses on recently published research evidence relevant to school-based paediatric occupational therapists. I'll prioritise topics most applicable to mainstream school settings:

• Self-regulation and sensory needs
• Autism and dyspraxia/DCD
• Fine motor skills and handwriting
• Daily living skills and other functional skills
• General practice trends from adult literature with paediatric relevance

This episode gives you a little bit of background to Kim and also discusses how Kim chooses the articles and curates the EPBOT podcast.

Welcome to the EBPOT podcast (https://ebpot.com/) where I help you to stay up to date with current research in paediatric OT. This week we are looking at two systematic reviews, one which includes a meta-analysis.  The first article explores the effect of motor interventions on cognition, communication, and social interactions of autistic children The second explores the use of Ayres Sensory Integration direct intervention, this study also has a strong focus on autism as majority of the studies located were studying autistic populations.
