I suppose they use it in OT for patients with cog decline to evaluate following directions, perceptual skills and problem solving in a non-scientific way but I have seen SLP's give them to patients and walk away letting them do it for themselves and it left me confused as to what they were looking at.

The cognitive disabilities model developed by Claudia K Allen (an OT) is used effectively by a few SLPs but their focus is on the speech , comprehension, communication goals. What kind of activities or occupations are SLPs using in an SNF.

I love working with patients who have cog goals. But all the things I learned in COTA school that I could do with patients were done by SLP's. I am still very confused about the role of SLP in a SNF. I thought their focus was on oral feeding and speech. -----Original Message----- From: otlist-boun...@otnow.com [mailto:otlist-boun...@otnow.com]on Behalf Of Ron Carson Sent: Sunday, August 23, 2009 20:39 To: OTlist@OTnow.com Subject: [OTlist] A New One You know, I like fillin' everyone in when I come across OT definitions/experiences that are off the scale. Well, this Saturday was a new one. I was evaluating a woman whose daughter is a SLP working in school systems. What do you think the SLP told me was her understanding of the role of OT? 1. ADL's 2. Fine Motor 3. Occupation 4. Upper Extremity The answer is #2. In her experience, OT's worked only on fine motor control. PT does gross/large muscle and SLP does cognition. The SLP was actually surprised that I gave her mom a cognitive screen. It just seems that OT is so pigeon-holed into either FMC or UE. Will we ever break these shackles?
