I would like the MD to have stated something like what YOU said. In other words, that OT was using basketball to improve the patient's ability to take care of themselves. Instead, the MD said:
"The OT used this task for counting, visual perceptual training and attention." Personally, I don't see counting, visual perception or attention to be very specific to OT. And that's my concern. I so wish, OT would be known as the profession that teaches people to take care of themselves, be productive and have fun. Unfortunately, it seems just about impossible for this to happen. ----- Original Message ----- From: cmnahrw...@aol.com <cmnahrw...@aol.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 To: OTlist@OTnow.com <OTlist@OTnow.com> Subj: [OTlist] Difference? cac> PT's walking and stair climbing goals.
