I may be doing something wrong. I am trying to visit the list and I do not
see how to access or view the discussions.
I belong to AOTA's list and found your site through their posts. I
appreciate your attempts to have this list as an ongoing thing, however if
it has run it's course and it is rea
I also work in a small acute rehab unit. Does doubling mean overlapping a
session? A patient is set up and working somewhat independently the
therapist turns to begin getting the other patient started on tasks.

I work PRN at an IP Acute Rehab (previously in the school system, SNF,
Mental Health IP and OP) When I am asked to come in to work I feel like I am
more willing to come up with ways to use the "creativity" that Ilene from
New Jersey is speaking about. When the caseload is high and I have worked
I just want to state that I am uncomfortable with the facebook style aota
forum that is now set up. I see that the membership is not responding by
posting questions etc. So now OT list is going to be my best way to be
connected! Often folks misunderstand how to post allowing public access is

I enjoy the potential for creativity that is needed to individualize
treatment. I am frustrated by the time constraints that do not allow me to
design an individual therapeutic program. (but does provide time for pulling
out the pegs and cones) There is a factory worker mentality to timing

I have a bean bag tic tac toe game that I use for a reacher training
activity. The grid for the game is painted on a fabric square that I place
within reach on the floor. Each bean bag has an X or an O painted on it. All
the items fit into a tote bag and I usually hold the bag for the patient t
I understand what you are saying Ron. However, I would much rather play a
game with the reacher to get a pt. to demonstrate they have the skills to
use it. To dump out a container of blocks and have the patient pick them up
and put them back into the same container is a mindless thing. Having
Hi - I hope you are not insulted by my questions. I would like to understand
more fully your treatment concept for a patient that is not independent in
toileting. Is your setting usually in the pts home? Do you ask the pt to
take a dry run into the toilet? Do you ask the pt if they need to actua
My 85 yr old mother post CVA X 2 had oxygen PRN ordered while receiving home
health. She has had a DNR order for 2 years She is in a dementia unit in an
assisted living facility. Home health was checking her and pushing the
oxygen stressing out all the staff causing everyone to overreact to havi
Whatever happened to the oval red white and blue patch that was worn on the
sleeve? It was a "logo" that is gone now - obsolete. Professional staff
don't wear any identifying markers now - I hate scrubs because no one can
tell who is what. The housekeeping staff or the nurse or the therapist all
Last year we made a display board in the hall for rehab. It took a lot of
effort, there was no response from anyone except our own people. we left it
up for a month, then speech therapy put up a board focusing on speech
therapy, the board is still up with speech stuff on it. We don't have time
It is difficult conceptualize what a day in the life of a dementia patient
would be like. She probably will not initiate tasks. She is in need of
someone to work with her on anything she does. Maybe she could help with
clean up rather than cooking. Could she read the recipe to her husband whil
I am in TN and practice as an acute care OT, transitioning from formerly
working as a school based therapist. I also teach the patient and family
that there are many variables to getting the safest and most useful
equipment. I would appreciate suggestions if anyone has any.

I have been a member of AOTA for a many years. I feel they have been
instrumental in helping to keep the demand for OT in the workplace across
all settings. We very possibly could have no setting to complain about if
not for the management of our educational programs, lobbying for the benefit
