Title: Occupational Therapy in the NICU: Impact on Infant’s Neurodevelopment and Maternal Mental Health
Learning Objectives:
Speaker’s Bio: Rachel Carpenter is a clinical specialist working at Newton Wellesley Hospital in Newton, MA. She has been an occupational therapist for 25 years. She is a certified neonatal therapist with 8 years of experience in a level II NICU. During her post-professional doctorate program, her specific area of study was maternal mental health, specifically of mothers in the NICU. She has three children of her own who are almost all out of the nest. She was most inspired to specialize in this area of practice because of her own experience having a child who required a NICU stay.

Bio: Dr. Amy Coopersmith, OTD, OTR/L; MA Ed, is a self-determination advocate with over 30 years of experience as a pediatric occupational therapist and teacher. As a school-based therapist for 17 years in New York City, she worked as a clinician, evaluator, and supervisor serving over 100 schools.
Amy noticed that the child-led teaching methods she used during her ten years as an educator made a big difference in children’s lives. She implemented those ideas as an occupational therapist and found that children made faster progress and demonstrated greater motivation and engagement using these methods.
Author of the Self-Determination Strategies Toolkit and the Captain Me program for young children, Amy strives to teach practitioners and educators how to implement evidence-informed strategies to promote children’s autonomy and motivation. Amy earned her doctorate from Temple University in 2022, where she conducted a research study on children’s self-determination. She continues to present at national conferences, lead workshops across the globe, mentor practitioners, and develop new materials to translate research into effective practice.
