I sent the request for defining pathfinding and this is what I got. I think just this deserves an answer as far as which profession(s) deal with this.
I will re-ask what the definition is. -----Original Message----- From: Josh Golden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 3/4/2005 12:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: FW: [OTlist] FW: [NeuroPT ] Pathfinding/Wayfinding We are looking at "pathfinding and wayfinding" as essentially the same thing, it appears both ways in some of the literature but I'm not sure if there is a specific difference. We are hoping to get a better idea of how to assess how functional our acute rehab patients will be in both familiar and new environments. Certainly there is both a cognitive and functional component to an impairment in these areas. Ultimately, we are trying to: 1. define the roles of OT, PT, Speech and Language Pathologists and recreation therapists in the assessment and treatment of folks who have these impairments. 2. find and good standard tests and treatments That is somewhat broad, but I hope it helps.
