Hi Judy! There was a show on Discovery Health channel in the past week or two about a bariatric LTC residence that helps people rehab and return to the community. They have a full therapy setup just for the bariatric population. It was really interesting.

Please contact me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or at (770) 356-9344. I am working on a project for my masters in conjunction with the hospital where I work. We are investigating how to integrate OT into an already existing program. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Some questions I have are: 1. What is the scope of practice with this population? 2. What are the ADL needs that you most frequently encounter and how do you intervene? 3. Are you part of the regular interdisciplinary team or a consultant only if ADL issues are identified? Thank you, Judy Hamby, OTR/L, BCN -- Unsubscribe?
