FOCUSED component level treatment is the realm of PT. And if it's not, it should be. Because when the focus of treatment is on the component(s), it can't be also on the occupation. And, I do not think a therapist can mentally switch from component level to occupation level treatment. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it's one or the other."In reply to your post Ron, I disagree. Some of our clients cannot do the occupation because of something, whether it is pain, lack of ROM, decreased strength. I think we are very qualified to address the issues that limit the person from completing occupation. In fact,I think it is our job to find these problems and address them. The goal being to be independent or require less assistance with the occupation being addressed.I guess we'll have to agree to disagree Ron.Thanks for listening,Audra Ray, OTR/L -- Options? www.otnow.com/mailman/options/otlist_otnow.com Archive? www.mail-archive.com/otlist@otnow.com -- Options? www.otnow.com/mailman/options/otlist_otnow.com Archive? www.mail-archive.com/otlist@otnow.com
