I believe also that the use of occupational or "functional" (I hate using that term because it is coined well too often by OTs) activities as the primary treatment modality is a hallmark of occupational therapy. It is what the professions history is based upon. Jimmie

I think the big difference between PT and OT is that PT looks at a specific part and determine what the dysfunction is and treat what they find from there. This in turn aids the person to be able to return the patient to a function. Where as with OT the look at the whole individual physically and psychologically and find a way to either adapt or assist the patient in doing the activities that they want to do. CR Developing your own mind and your psyche will keep you in control of your own reality. - Sister Souljah *****************************��********************************** To remove yourself from the OTnow mail list, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message's *body*, put the following text: unsubscribe OTlist - List messages are archived at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] *****************************��*********************************** *****************************��********************************** To remove yourself from the OTnow mail list, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message's *body*, put the following text: unsubscribe OTlist - List messages are archived at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] *****************************��***********************************
