Interesting question:
Is the field of OT getting too broad?
Why are OTs doing stress reduction seminars, administering psychosocial
checklists, leading Baby & Me classes, feeding premature ICU neonates, etc? As
with all health professions, there is some overlap. For example, nurses,
physicians, neurologists, and physician assistants can all take a patient's
blood pressure. As OTs with a holistic theory base and clinical background, we
are qualified to administer many health care services. Our focus on function
and independence provides an additional perspective for assessment and
treatment. As OTs, we can also be proud of what I consider two of the
profession's most unique and far-reaching contributions: Sensory Integration
theory, assessment, and treatment, and Claudia Allen's Cognitive Assessment
Levels. from http://welcome.to/occupationaltherapy.com
