Unfortunatly I probably would not have been inpressed. I say that because we had OT's in the hospital and in rehab, they did just what you explained....focused on the upper extremities and it did not help my daughter very much. By that I mean it did not help her to get back to the normal way of doing things, it did not put her whole body together. I know that sounds a little unprofessional, but that's the way I see it. Seems when a patient, especially like my daughter, has been in bed for so long, they have forgotten how everything works together. Shirley

If I focused treatment on the upper extremity would you still say "we are beginning to see how well OT works for our loved ones"? Just to remind everyone, Shirley is the mother of a patient that I'm seeing. She has been exposed to a LOT a therapy. ----- Original Message ----- From: shirley roberson <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subj: [OTlist] Vision ~vs~ Reality sr> Ron, sr> sr> Maybe somehow you could inform the public..?
