Hello: Today, at a medical supply company, I picked up the Spring 2003 edition of a magazine called "FAAST Access". The magazine has something to do with assistive technology. On page 19 there's a story line about a young girl with a spinal cord injury and how her life was made better by a piece of technology. Now, here's the really unfortunate part of the story.
I quote: "As soon as I was able, I started physical therapy to improve my independence with daily activities. The therapists were able to teach me how to dress and perform all of my daily activities, except getting in and out of my chair from the floor." So, not only is the PT profession saying that they teach self-care, magazine articles are doing it as well. By the way, this is not the first time I read about PT teaching daily activity.
