Abstract
  • Child Advocacy Centers (CACs) are a central location for the multidiscipline approach to trauma recovery in children. CACs could provide more effective services with a trauma-informed occupational therapist on their team. To prove the need for occupational therapy, I implemented screens before forensic interviews utilizing the Sensory Profile-2, BOT-2 Brief, and PDMS-2 as appropriate. Through these screens, I found that 67% of children demonstrated sensory, fine motor, or gross motor deficits severe enough to recommend intervention. The Sensory Profile-2 served a dual purpose as a screen and to guide me in my recommendations for appropriate sensory items for the child to use during the forensic interview to reduce stress. 100% of interviews were enhanced when a child chose to use a sensory item. The findings of this study make a compelling case for how an occupational therapist can enhance all components of the CAC model.
