Description: This presentation will describe the development and outcomes of the UIC Occupational Therapy Faculty Practice: Children, Youth and Families (CYF). CYF outcomes such as family satisfaction, goal attainment and Short Child Occupational Profile (SCOPE) results will be discussed as examples of outcome measurement in a faculty practice. The presentation will discuss how family engagement is incorporated in CYF areas of excellence and the impact of using telehealth for service delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lessons learned and next steps for action planning will be presented and participants will be encouraged to reflect on how aspects of the CYF Faculty Practice development and implementation could impact their own occupational therapy practice.
