Hello Eveyone:

Recently   Joan   mentioned   that   we   might   want  to  discuss  the
characteristics  of  patients  who  right  for  OT.  I  think this is an
interesting topic and may be worthy of discussion, so I'll try and start
it off.

>From  my experience and in my opinion, the person most 'right' for OT is
the  person  whose  focus  is  not  on  their  impairment,  but on their
disability  or  handicap. Occasionally, I run across patients like this
and they are a true occupational joy to work with.

But,  these types of patients/referrals are few and far between. I think
that  if there existed in this country a network of healthcare providers
whose  primary  focus  was  improving patients occupation, then OT would
have  a  great  role. But for now, most of us don't work in such a model
but there are exceptions, I'm sure.

Ron
