19th Annual Bridging The Gap

Bridging the Gap is an annual event hosted by the Pi Theta Epsilon honor society in Denton. A researcher from a related field is invited to address students, alumni, and guests and then a panel of occupational therapy experts discuss the topic to help ‘bridge the gap’ between research and occupational therapy practice. The event provides continuing education for occupational therapy practitioners.

This year’s topic will explore occupational therapy’s role within the areospace field. We will hear from our speaker August Parker, OTD, OTR. Her passion and area of research is related to optimizing performance and quality of life in civilian and military pilots! She addresses the benefits of therapeutic techniques in improving performance and ergonomics of those in the aerospace field, as well as preventing future risk of impairment. Following the presentation will be a panelist discussion from a variety of experts in related fields.
