Upper extremity injuries in pediatric athletes are increasing and the amount of education available for occupational therapists treating these athletes is limited. An evidence-based course is necessary for this growing area of occupational therapy to educate occupational therapists on current literature on the treatment of pediatric athletes with injuries to the hand, wrist, and elbow. The course presented will teach occupational therapists about treating pediatric athletes with upper extremity injuries incorporating occupational therapy principles including occupational therapy frame of reference, model, framework, and vision. The participants of the course will understand how treating pediatric athletes is significant to the profession of occupational therapy.
