Following up on Chris' message, I also have a (+) comment! Through my private practice, I've been seeing a s/p CVA patient. She has already been through home health, which was not very effective. The primary problems are depression, lethargy, and visual orientation/integration.
After over 5 straight days of OT, the patient's granddaughter took the patient to the grocery store to go shopping. This is the 1st time the patient has done ANYTHING like this since her stroke. It is a great breakthrough for the patient and the family was very ecstatic. To take off the old Memorex commercials, "Is it coincidence or is it OT"? I don't know, but I like to think that OT played a large part in enabling occupation. Ron -- Options? www.otnow.com/mailman/options/otlist_otnow.com Archive? www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
