    (2022-04-15) Serino, Anna; Chase, Tony; Department of Occupational Therapy, School of Health and Human Sciences; Stead, Tiffany
    A team with collaborators from a Midwestern university and the local children’s hospital have implemented Skills on Wheels, a wheelchair skills program for the pediatric population. After a successful pilot program, the team identified areas of program improvement for the next session of the program running the following year. The gaps identified were in participant screening, volunteer training, and assessment standardization. This capstone focused on addressing these gaps by providing processes for improving the program. The capstone student worked collaboratively with the Skills on Wheels team to complete a detailed needs assessment and propose solutions for the identified gaps with the goal of program improvement.

    The doctoral capstone experience is a 14-week self-directed learning experience for doctoral occupational therapy students. The purpose of this capstone was to advance career skillsets in a unique manner that align with the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) educational standards (DeIuliis & Bednarski, 2019). The capstone experience is client-centered and needs based project, with a needs assessment and literature review completed. The capstone was completed with the Skills on Wheels (SoW) program and targeted the following ACOTE standards: program development, research skills, administration, and leadership. These standards were achieved through conducting research with another SoW site, initiating and completing program development tasks for the third iteration of the program, and creating a program manual outline for dissemination purposes.
