I can't believe no one responded to the questions. In my opinion, it is exactly this kind of nonsense, published by AOTA, which thwarts the unity of our profession.
How many different "major focuses" can a profession have? Where is occupation in this statement? For me, this is a really sad "Fact Sheet" published by AOTA. Just one more nail in the coffin. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Carson <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2009 To: OTlist <[email protected]> Subj: [OTlist] Fact Sheet RC> Does anyone have problems with this statement: RC> A major focus of occupational therapy is rehabilitation related to RC> impairments of the upper extremity (i.e., shoulder, elbow, forearm, RC> wrist, hand).
