CEU Course Description 

The occupational therapy profession is grounded in equitable, inclusive, and patient-centered care. This extends to individuals who are gender nonconforming or genderqueer. As a result, all of occupational therapy practice should be accommodating of gender-specific needs. Gender-affirming care is also within an OT’s scope of practice, as gender identity is considered a client factor that can impact meaningful occupational engagement. OTs can provide gender-affirming care by addressing the social transitions of coming out, exploring how to express gender identity, and offering mental health interventions to assist with emotional wellness. There are also a range of other considerations occupational therapists should be aware of when providing gender-affirming care, which must all be addressed as part of occupational therapy service delivery.

CEU Course Objectives

1. Identify occupational therapy principles for gender-affirming care.
2. List the aspects of universal precautions that are part of trauma-informed care.
3. Recall the way gender-affirming surgery may impact someone’s occupational participation.
