Description

The capstone project, OT Lens: Un Paso A La Vez, was delivered through a culturally- tailored online platform to educate occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) and Latinx caregivers with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) children. The online platform, OT Lens: Un Paso A La Vez, consisted of educational modules on various topics, such as ASD, sensory-based, autoregulation strategies, and interventions on basic activities of daily living. This project aimed to bridge the gap by educating OTPs and Latinx caregivers through an educational approach consisting of resources provided in various digital mediums to expand on accessibility, such as digital handouts, modules, videos, and supplemental materials to convey the materials in English and Spanish while being accessible via an online platform. The effectiveness of an online platform targeted as culturally-tailored and educational was determined by providing participants with pre- and post-surveys. Based on the feedback and participant responses, more research is needed to better understand the impact of digital content, topics, and an online platform that has an effect on the learning of OTPs and Latinx caregivers with ASD children.
