The 2024 Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT) conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia was an incredible journey for the Therapro team with many highlights to share. Departing from our Framingham, MA warehouse, the Therapro team embarked on a scenic road trip through New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, culminating in a dynamic event filled with innovation and collaboration.​
At the conference, our booth buzzed with activity as we presented the latest in occupational therapy tools and resources. Attendees explored hands-on demonstrations of assistive technology devices and sensory items, experiencing firsthand the benefits these tools offer.​
Standout products included the Functionalhand and Eazyholds, which together facilitate fine motor tasks for individuals with limited grip strength. These tools garnered significant interest for their ability to enhance functional independence
Sensory items also stole the spotlight, with the Wiggle Wobble Chair Feet captivating attendees as they experienced firsthand the benefits of dynamic seating options. Fidgets, weighted items, and resources like the Sensory Connection Program and The Polyvagal Path to Joyful Learning were met with enthusiasm, highlighting the growing importance of sensory interventions in therapy.
For school-based therapists, Therapro offered a wide array of resources to support fine motor development, including various pencil grips, raised line paper, and slant boards. The Fine Motor Olympics, a collection of engaging activities designed to promote fine motor skills, garnered significant interest and excitement among attendees.
Evaluations such as Here’s How I Write and the COMPs provided valuable insights into assessment tools that can inform intervention strategies and promote optimal outcomes for clients.
The CAOT 2024 Conference Highlights reflect a successful event filled with learning, networking, and inspiration. We are grateful for the opportunity to connect with dedicated therapists and remain committed to supporting the occupational therapy community.​
