In-home rehab? What about the occupation of "independent living". I'd try not to limit diagnoses, but you could give them several examples. can their patients manage their personal care, household chores, bill paying, cooking? I'd give them a written checklist for reference, with room for their signature so it could also act as a script for treatment. A checklist reference is a handy tool and if they are not totally familiar with OT, they could look at it at any time. have a few giveaways with your company name. A $50 expenditure could go a long way. Good Luck. Linda
