Hello:

Today,  at a medical supply company, I picked up the Spring 2003 edition
of  a  magazine  called "FAAST Access". The magazine has something to do
with assistive technology. On page 19 there's a story line about a young
girl  with  a  spinal  cord injury and how her life was made better by a
piece  of  technology.  Now,  here's  the really unfortunate part of the
story.

I quote:

"As  soon  as  I  was  able,  I  started  physical therapy to improve my
independence with daily activities. The therapists were able to teach me
how  to  dress and perform all of my daily activities, except getting in
and out of my chair from the floor."

So,  not  only  is  the  PT profession saying that they teach self-care,
magazine  articles  are  doing  it  as well. By the way, this is not the
first time I read about PT teaching daily activity.

Ron
