Im excited about our progressive theme this yearScience, Innovation, and Evidenceand the great expectation that we will leave transformed by greater confidence and vision for our practice, research, and education .
It is quite clear from the economic and legislative issues we face today that as individuals and as the body of occupational therapy we must be empowered to increase our competitiveness, advocacy, and equitability in health care . From the start, my focus as your President has been to encourage the transformation of occupational therapy into high definition . Now, we are taking an even greater step forward with an emphasis on discerning and applying the power of scientific evidence in best practice, an evolution to occupational therapy in high definition in three dimension . Find out more about that at my Presidential Address on Friday . Please take the time to read the Conference Program Guide and take advantage of what it offers . From Pre-Conference Institutes to General Sessions such as the Eleanor Clarke Slagle Lecture and the Plenary Session on Army Occupational Therapy, to a scope of practice education and networking, these four days can be a groundbreaking experience for you . Also, you have the opportunity to attend an AOTA Town Hall Meeting this Friday to hear updates about our professions progress and challenges, ask questions, and share perspectives . Once again, welcome! Lets get started right now creating and sharing the power that lies within us, and showing the world that we are a high-definition-in-three-dimension profession .

A 15-minute cab or shuttle ride from the airport brings you to the heart of our beautiful, pedestrian-friendly city . Indianapolis has been heralded as a model city for its spotlight on disability issues and establishment of accessible services, programs, and facilities .

All of the hotels being utilized for the 2012 AOTA Annual Conference & Expo are connected by accessible sky bridges to the Indiana Convention Center and the four-level Circle Centre Mall . Downtown Indianapolis has over a hundred dining options with many more just blocks away in the trendy Fountain Square and Massachusetts Avenue neighborhoods .

Conference Charities

CHAMP Camp (http://www.champcamp.org) is a private, non-profit organization funded by the generosity of individuals and corporations, grants from foundations, and through special events . Campers have the freedom to explore the many facets of the outdoor environment by participating in activities that include fishing, boating, canoeing, creative arts, swimming, horseback riding, and nature study . Each camper sets his own goal and pace . Many of the campers have unique physical challenges so CHAMP Camp is a community where victories, big and small, are celebrated! Campers build faith in themselves and trust in others and its where accomplishments happen because of imagination and motivation . Counselors are healthcare professionals, such as nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, child life specialists, teachers, recreation professionals, and physicians . At camp, they are also friends and mentors . CHAMP Camp is held in mid-June at Bradford Woods in Martinsville, IN . Teachers Treasures (http:// teacherstreasures.org) began in 2000 when a former teacher and a principal had a dream of a free school supply store funded by businesses and citizens in the community . She observed during her years in education how learning was stunted and self-esteem lowered when students did not have adequate resources . Teachers Treasures, a free store for teachers in grades K-12, collects unwanted school supplies and surplus merchandise and distributes them to teachers . For a minimal annual fee, teachers of qualifying schools are able to shop free of charge once per month . No value limits are put on the items they select . On average, 600 teachers shop each month, taking over $350 worth of supplies back to their classroom . In the past 11 years, Teachers Treasures has distributed over $25 million dollars in supplies to teachers in Central Indiana . Teachers utilize these items in their classrooms for projects or to distribute to their students . Items include: office supplies, stationery, books for all ages, writing utensils, etc . Bring your donation items to the Information & Hospitality Booth, in the AOTA Registration Area, at the Indiana Convention Center.

AOTA extends a heartfelt thank you to our hundreds of volunteers, presenters, proposal reviewers, and Conference planning committee members .

Statement of Ethics and Conduct

The American Occupational Therapy Association is a nonprofit professional membership organization . As a professional organization, AOTA has an official document, the Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics and Ethics Standards by which occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, and students are expected to abide . The purpose of the Code and Ethics Standards is to promote and maintain high standards of professional conduct . AOTA expects that each participant follows the Code and Ethics Standards, as well as his or her own personal code of honor for attendance and participation in Conference, educational events and meetings sponsored by AOTA . Sharing of a name badge, attending educational sessions without paying the appropriate registration fee, and/or reproduction and use of handout information without the author/speakers express permission are examples of unethical conduct and may result in disciplinary action by the Association.

Based upon this feedback, AOTA has made the following changes for 2012: n New advanced-level educational sessions will focus on best practices for the arthritic hand and adult cognition . n Sessions with handouts have been made easier to identify . In addition, a more concerted effort has been made to ask the speakers to provide some type of handout . n The onsite Conference Program Guide continues to be streamlined and has new features that will make it easier to use . n The Web-based Conference program is more robust, intuitive, and user friendly . It makes it easier for attendees to plan their program prior to attending Conference .

Welcome Ceremony and Keynote Address Envisioning the Next Generation of OT Professionals for a New Generation of Older Americans
Joseph F . Coughlin, PhD Director, Massachusetts Institute of Technology AgeLab While perpetually youthful, the baby boomers are no longer young . Born between 1946 and 1964 one baby boomer is now turning 66 years old nearly every seven seconds . This new older generation expects to live longer and better . Older boomers expect to continue working, contributing, be mobile and engaged for a lifetime . But, the realities of an explosive rate of chronic conditions and natural aging may temper those great expectations . Occupational therapy practitioners are set to be a critical part of the new future of old age . Next generation occupational therapy practitioners will be partners with employers, insurers, and wellness providers to keep older Americans active Americansthey will also become sources of trusted information on how to manage physical longevity as well as what technologies and services may be available to live their lives to the fullest longer . How will the occupational therapy profession achieve thiswho will be new partners, what will be the new revenue streams, how will future professional education respond, and how might the disruptive demographics of aging transform the profession? Dr . Joseph F . Coughlin is a world-renowned researcher, teacher, and author . In his inspiring keynote address, attendees will hear about the remarkable research done by MIT AgeLab and the translation of research into practical application for occupational therapy and our aging clients .

Presidential Address Ce Beyond High Definition: Attitude and Evidence Bringing OT in HD-3D
Florence Clark, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA Florence Clarks term as AOTA President has thus far focused on the paths to building confidence, power, and competitive excellence, all of which describe the attitude that will be necessary for transforming occupational therapy in the 21st century . Like any good transformation allegory, however, fully realizing the AOTA Centennial Vision will require more than just an internal attitude adjustment . Now more than ever, a solid grounding in the external evidence base is an absolute must . Just as highdefinition three dimension (HD-3D) picture technology harnesses the human brains ability to perceive depth by merging two similar images into a unified whole, OT in HD-3D describes the way in which todays occupational therapy practitioners are challenged to simultaneously see the convergence of an empowered attitude and scientific evidence base within their everyday practices .

Koger, MS, OTR; Melissa Stevens, OTR, CHT; Cecily C. Brasseur, all of Indiana Hand To Shoulder Therapy Center, Indianapolis, IN Level: Introductory This session is intended for the therapist who has limited opportunity to fabricate and fit orthoses to clients. Therapists will be provided with an overview of the indications for common upper extremity orthoses, the key steps to fabricating the orthoses, and a lab session to fabricate specific orthoses. Participants will have an opportunity to fabricate a wrist immobilization orthosis, forearm based wrist, hand and finger orthosis (e.g., resting pan), and an elbow orthosis. This will be a particularly great opportunity for the therapist who has limited or no opportunity to develop or maintain splinting skills. Meuser, PhD, University of Missouri, St. Louis, MO Level: Introductory If occupational therapists consider our profession client-centered, all practitioners must consider addressing the critical IADL of driving and community mobility for individuals of all ages. This would include individuals who have never driven, such as teenagers with ADHD or ASD, to individuals who want to keep driving despite functional declines. This Institute will bring together experts who address driving across the life span to describe clinical models of program development, demonstrate evidence-based tools for screening/assessment, discuss latest developments in interventions for the medically-at-risk drivers across the lifespan, and offer resources to improve general practice occupational therapist and driver rehabilitation specialists skill sets. Upon completion of this seminar, the participants in this Institute will be able to identify program pathways and resources to address driving and community mobility in their practice. seating/positioning problems, and evidence to support the decisions made in regards to advanced seating/ positioning interventions. pedagogical intent.
