How can clinicians contribute to the future of occupational therapy research?

In this session of the Children and Families Understood webinar series, six occupational therapists from Brazil demonstrate how collaborative clinical research can transform everyday practice into meaningful scientific evidence.

The webinar explores why collaboration is becoming increasingly important for Ayres Sensory Integration® (ASI), introduces an innovative initiative to pool clinical data across multiple practices, and showcases three ongoing research projects that have emerged from this collaborative effort. Through real-world examples, participants will see how clinicians can work together to answer important research questions, strengthen evidence-based practice, and ultimately improve outcomes for children and families.

Whether you are new to research or already engaged in scholarly work, this session offers practical insights into building partnerships that bridge the gap between clinical practice and scientific discovery.
