Sorry about the way the post looks. For some reason it wouldn't wrap right.

"However, the goal is the occupation, not
the components. 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
