Re: [OTlist] OT's Role in ADL's

to hold those staff that just don't want to do it, because they just don't want to do it, accountable. I hate that I am having to take this step and maybe can get away from it when it becomes more common practice again. Thanks again for your input/thoughts.. Linda Linda Stovall

Re: [OTlist] OT role in ADL

every day that it is gradually becoming less of an issuebut I agree with working with other staff or an assistant if it is...just like I would tell a female staff member to do with a male if that was uncomfortable for the patient... Thanks again... Linda Linda Stovall, OTR/L [EMAIL PROTECTED

sitting will help with balance and increase awareness...basic NDT techniques are a lot of what I would be doing...especially to facilitate the trunk control, weight shift, balance, etc that will allow for better function... Hope that helps.. Linda Linda Stovall, OTR/L lstov...@mhg.com Program Manager
