[OTlist] Qualitative research
Hi Could any body point me in the direction of qualitative primary study regarding (CAN GROUP EXERCISE/ACTIVITY IMPROVE MENTAL HEALTH IN PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS) I am a mere student of mature years and have found it very difficult to find research on this subject especially from OT. I am needing the information For a critical review Essay at university which is of personal interest to myself and has wide relevance across health and social care professionals and education. Any help will me very appreciated.

[OTlist] Shefield Healey Farm
Hi All I am a first year student at Sheffield Hallam University and i deceided to do some volunteering at Sheffield Healy Farm which is a inner city farm. The client group is quite varied (learning difficulties, Downs, Aspergiss, Vision impaired, Deaf and physical problems) As you can see quite a mixed bunch about 12 in all they are there on a LSC course (learning skills council ) a 3 year course wood work and gardening and this is very ripetitive and quite dull. I want to run some fun learning activities that can be graded accordingly. Any ideas about short learning activity plans 30-45 mins long would be greatfull. Also any end of day activities while clients are waiting for thier lifts home would also be appretiated At the moment i have just started a daily diary with a few of them. And a quick game of sherrads at the end of the day.

Re: [OTlist] Robotic arm may help stroke patients
Surely the robotic arm is a compensatory model which should only be used temporally as i thought that as an OT we should be using the reabiltation model if at all possible and to retrain the brain.
