    Now that we have had a chance to experience clinical reasoning and understand how important it is. I found this little PDF file that explains how each type of clinical reasoning goes into the OT process. For example, how procedural reasoning guides treatment however, interactive reasoning guides therapy. Its a really neat clean cut explanation of why it is important to touch on each type of reasoning during the OT process with each client.

    This article is by the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapy and it is a good refresher over clinical reasoning (especially the different types of clinical reasoning) and why it is so important to develop this skill and apply it in practice. Additionally, it provide some tips for students and for fieldwork educators in this area.

    This study investigated the validated a clinical reasoning tool to describe OT perspectives in the home modification process. This included the development of a personal factors guideline to aid OT practitioners' clinical reasoning in home modification interventions. Factors to consider range from course of diagnosis and patient's preference to compliance and resources. This article showed how holistic OT is because it looked at home modification based on all client factors/environment to guide clinical reasoning for interventions.

    I found this ten-step process for resolving ethical issues in the school from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. I thought this was a really nice guide and one that can be used by OT's as we look to our Code of Ethics.

    Here is a really great resource and quick reference guide for developmental milestones. If you are working in pediatrics many of them will be common knowledge that you will hold in the back of you head for when you need it. For those of us who may not work in the pediatric population it could be a great quick reference guide when you find yourself in need of these developmental milestones.

    This article focusing on techniques that can be used to develop clinical reasoning for Occupational Therapy students and new practitioners, in which it argues is the basis of all occupational therapy treatment. The article presents that using case studies within the classroom setting provides the ability for students to clinically reason, problem solve and develop treatment skills in a controlled way. It suggests using guiding questions based on student weakness that will promote growth and creativity in developing clinical reasoning skills. This article must have some merit because case studies have been used and continue to be used in a variety of classroom settings to this day including our own.

    The scope of this handout created by North Carolina Department of Public Instruction is a guide for school based therapist when determining if a child is in need of services in the school. This document states that if the child cannot have access to their education or will not experience educational benefit then occupational therapy services are relevant and could be necessary in order to enhance the child's educational success. Alternatively, this handout also addresses when occupational therapy services are not warranted. Some indicators to know when services are not needed include 1) the needs can be addressed by a special educator or school faculty 2) can needs be addressed during non school hours and/or 3) will providing services lead to an unnecessary gaps or contraindications with other necessary services. These simple guidelines can help the therapist to clinically reason if the student requires services and why or why not. Another great piece of this handout is discussing when occupational therapy services can be discontinued. This section helps the therapist walk through the necessary step in order to accurately determine if services are still needed.

    This webpage gives its reader a quick guide for professionalism in the healthcare field. The page states to be a team player, which means working with COTA, PTs, PTAs, SLP, Nurses, STNAs, Physicians, and all hospital staff to ensure the best care given to the patient. The page then mentions dressing professionally and being on time. These are staples of professionalism for any career however being on time could also mean good time management to ensure that you see your patients on schedule. I know time management is a big aspect of the job at my current clinical setting. The article mentions being honest which is extremely important in the healthcare field as dishonesty can lead to fraud, abuse, and malpractice. The article then goes on to talk about focusing on work at work and respecting others, both of which are excellent staples of professionalism in any field.

    This article explores the components of practice that make occupational therapy practitioners feel prepared to integrate research into their practice. According to this article, many practitioners in the field feel that they lack the necessary skills required to incorporate innovative research into their practice of occupational therapy. The authors of this article conducted a study to determine what characteristics and behaviors would foster the utilization of research. Eleven occupational therapy practitioners working in stroke rehabilitation participated in the study. The therapists completed a self-report and were interviewed by the authors. The researchers discovered that participants' clinical experience, engagement in continuing education, involvement in research activities and mentoring students all contributed to utilization of research into occupational therapy practice. The authors concluded that research utilization should be enhanced through means of professional development, which will guide practitioners in learning activities, provide opportunities to foster the behaviors discovered in the research study and enhance occupational therapists' capacity to incorporate research into their practice.
