Hi Ron, this approach has been tried (and failed) in the past. Mum is a rather
interesting character who is trying to make her daughter more 'disabled' than
she is. This child has a very mild spastic CP and is in fact ambulatory.
There is no functional reason why she should not be mobilising
d of the equipment. This will then allow her to make an
informed decision. To me, THIS is best practice and also empowers and
educates the mom.

Chris, unfortunately I don't have time to respond in length but let me
quickly say this. If we extrapolating out the contention that FOCUSED
work at the component level to facilitate function is considered OT,
then many different professions are doing O
focus treatment at the component level
with the belief that increased component-level function will increase
overall function.

"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
