As holistic healthcare providers, it is critical that we can assess and identify delays in young children’s ADL milestones while accounting for cultural factors that might deviate from what our references define as normal limits. This course provides updates on current ADL milestones for typical development, with considerations for cultural factors concerning feeding, toileting, dressing, and sleep.

Presented By
Erica Jacoby
MS, OTR/L
Erica began checking out books on disabilities and autism from the library when she was just 15 years old and began her first volunteer position working with children with autism at 16. She was inspired by the occupational therapists she heard about and met during this time and pursued the same path, first with a Bachelor of Science in Social Work with Honors in Research Distinction and then receiving her Master of Science in Occupational Therapy. She worked on multiple research projects during her studies and published two papers on sensory processing and community inclusion for adults with autism. She then completed a LEND Fellowship at the Children’s Hospital in Denver, which focused on diagnosing and intervening with children with neurodevelopmental disorders. She has since been a guest author on the upcoming 3rd Edition of the Transdisciplinary Play-Based Assessment, in which she wrote the educational text, assessment guidelines, and updated milestone chart for the section on ADLs, which inspired today’s presentation. Erica currently works overseas, providing early intervention and school-based services at a US military base in Germany. Her primary occupations outside of work are rock climbing, traveling, reading, and cooking.
