Bag of Tricks - Fall Meeting

Date: October 5, 2026

Time: 6:15 pm - 7:45 pm

Location: Hybrid Meeting
Cranston William Hall Library Conference Rm

Presenter: Lise Faulise MS, OTR/L, BCP

The format of this meeting is to have participants join in, offer points of view and examples, share stories and treatment techniques that worked (or didn’t work) as an open discussion. There will be a facilitator but this is not a lecture style meeting. Other topics can also be introduced and discussed so come with your ideas. Please bring a friend, share with a colleague as this is the kickoff to a busy pediatric special interest section year! We would love to hear your ideas for future meetings and ways to support our pediatric therapist members.

Objectives:

1. Discuss topics of interest for the year 2026-2027

2. Participants will share Tools/Tricks/Strategies that you carry in your OT bag

3. Meet and greet to get to know our pediatric therapist community

If you registered and cannot make the event, please email riota@riota.org to give us 24 hours notice.
