Date Presented 04/01/2022 This study examined the efficacy of the same site model (SSM) by comparing Fieldwork Performance Evaluation scores of students who completed the SSM (n = 42) versus the traditional fieldwork model (n = 43). Results showed that students who completed the SSM scored 1 point higher, with no statistical difference (p =.621). The SSM is preferred by most students; therefore, to promote positive mental health and take a trauma-informed pedagogy, the SSM of fieldwork should be a consideration for fieldwork.

Date Presented 04/02/2022 OT practitioners can take a public health approach to early identification of delays by promoting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's free developmental monitoring program called 'Learn the Signs. Act Early' (LTSAE). The aim of this mixed-methods study was to examine the impact of online training for implementation of LTSAE within Head Start (N = 194). Results showed that the online training was effective, and Head Start is an ideal setting to promote LTSAE to improve early identification of delays.
