Summary/Abstract: Occupational therapists are required to obtain CE units to ensure professional competency. This study examined occupational therapy practitioners to understand: What are OTPs’ perceived challenges and CE needs when working with populations with neurological impairments? And how can CE courses be tailored towards addressing these challenges and gaps in knowledge effectively? There were 14 responses and 6 themes identified. Participants indicated if they had access to supportive resources as well as their preferred mode of delivery for CE. The findings of this study can be used to identify the preferences, specific clinical skillsets currently used, and gaps in supportive resources.
