I found this article on the British Association of Occupational Therapists and College of Occupational Therapists website. The post is to open up a discussion after Karen Middleton, Chief Health Professions Officer, challenged health care professionals and associations to have the Big Conversation on Professionalism. I think this is a nice challenge, and incentive for professional organizations/associations and all medical health care establishments to discuss professionalism and their expectations and standards from employees.

Should Children with ADHD be Routinely Screened for Motor Coordination Problems? The Role of the Pediatric Occupational Therapist British Journal of Occupational Therapy November 2007 vol. 70 no. 11 483-486 Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is commonly comorbid with movement difficulties, including developmental coordination disorder (DCD). With services being provided from many different areas, it may result in children with ADHD not being screened, and assessed if necessary, for DCD and vice versa. In this study, 69 children attending an ADHD clinic were screened for movement problems, using the parent-completed Movement Assessment Battery for Children Checklist (Henderson and Sugden 1992). The results showed that 19% of the children with ADHD were defined as having a 'movement problem', with a further 16% defined as 'at risk'. With 19% of the children having a movement problem and another 16% considered to be at risk it appears that it would be beneficial for children who are diagnosed with ADHD to also be screened for DCD so that they may qualify for services to help in that area.

Adaptive Positioning Interventions for Premature Infants: Issues for Pediatric Occupational Therapy Practice. British Journal of Occupational Therapy March 1989 vol. 52 no. 3 93-96 Adaptive positioning is an important aspect of occupational therapy intervention with premature infants. This article looks at the current literature and describes the benefits of a variety of positioning strategies with these babies. This article also goes into great detail on the variety of different alert states of infants and how this affects the services provided by the occupational therapist. Occupational therapists need to be able to read and understand the different alert states of premature infants as well as be able to educate parents on what they mean. In addition to the alert state education, occupational therapists should express the importance of positioning their infant and educating them as well.
