"However, the goal is the occupation, not
the components. FOCUSED component level treatment is the realm of PT.
And if it's not, it should be. Because when the focus of treatment is
on the component(s), it can't be also on the occupation. And, I do not
think a therapist can mentally switch from component level to
occupation level treatment. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it's one or
the other."In reply to your post Ron, I disagree. Some of our clients cannot do
the occupation because of something, whether it is pain, lack of ROM, decreased
strength. I think we are very qualified to address the issues that limit the
person from completing occupation. In fact,I think it is our job to find these
problems and address them. The goal being to be independent or require less
assistance with the occupation being addressed.I guess we'll have to agree to
disagree Ron.Thanks for listening,Audra Ray, OTR/L
