With the intention of synthesizing research on OT interventions used to promote social-emotional development in young children with or at risk for disabilities, Jane Case-Smith reviewed and organized 23 studies into 5 themes. These 5 themes include: 1) touch-based interventions to enhance calming and parent-infant bonding, 2) relationship-based interventions to promote positive caregiver-child interactions, 3) joint attention interventions, 4) naturalistic preschool interventions to promote peer-to-peer engagement, and 5) instruction-based interventions to teach children appropriate social behaviors. Touch-based interventions were supported through research with infants in the NICU and showed higher cognition at 12 months than the control group. Relationship-based interventions were supported through research with children with ASD, institutionalized children, and children who spent time in the NICU. Joint attention interventions were supported for use with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Peer-to-peer engagement interventions were supported with the use of computer activities, toys, etc. Instruction-based interventions demonstrated that specific instruction in socially appropriate behavior appears to have moderately positive effects on improving children's social competence.

This is a systematic review of the effectiveness of interventions to prevent falls in people with the psychosocial disorders of Alzheimer's and dementia. I picked this article because my fieldwork is currently in a skilled nursing facility and I read about the many falls that happen that lead to the patients coming to the facility. The article focuses on three types of interventions including exercise, nursing staff interventions, and multidisciplinary interventions. the article mentioned that although all three intervention showed some data of effectiveness the studies used had many limitations. In addition, occupational therapy was seldom mentioned in the studies, the article mentions the big opportunity there is for occupational therapist to address this issue.

The Role of Occupational Therapy in Psychosocial Interventions - 3 views

Alberta College of Occupational Therapists. (2009). The role of occupational therapy in psychosocial interventions.1-6 This is a helpful resource created by the Alberta College of Occupational Therapists to help explain the role of occupational therapy in psychosocial interventions. The resource states that psychosocial interventions are within the scope of practice for occupational therapists and it essentially lays out an in-depth explanation of psychosocial needs, interventions and how they are applied within occupational therapy. The resource defines psychosocial and makes recommendations for occupational therapists in their application of these types of interventions. There is a background provided as well as different assessment and intervention approaches that can be used in regard to psychosocial intervention. This area really focuses on the psychosocial needs of clients and how therapists can assist individuals to develop and maintain function where they need to. Intervention plans consider the demands of activities (cognitive, physical, functional or relational) and individuals' physical and emotional abilities to participate. The plans also reflect the individuals' personal needs and preferences, spirituality, cultural context, signs and symptoms, risk factors, and capabilities (emotional, affective, cognitive and physical).

Evidence for the Effectiveness of Different Service Delivery Models in Early Interventi... - 0 views

The authors of this systematic review sought to gather the available evidence base in order to determine best practice in terms of service delivery models and methods used in early intervention. The results of the initial search were categorized into one of 3 categories of service delivery: family centeredness, service setting, and type of parent participation. Through analysis of 18 articles, the authors determined that: parents' perceptions of efficacy and satisfaction increased when interventions were embedded in family routines and settings; these studies support the use of combined approaches across environments, though they did not specifically compare differences in outcomes in varying environments; and parenting classes were found to decrease stress, improve parents' relationships, as well as lead to improved cognitive scores in children when added to early intervention services. The implications of this review on OT practice support the continued use of family-centered approaches, individually tailored interventions, post-intervention assessments to determine effectiveness of interventions, and therapist feedback to increase outcomes.

This article discussed how professional judgement, ethics, EBP, and economic constraints are interrelated in OT practice. Each need to be considered during intervention planning, however, some therapists may find this difficulty. A literature review found that overall there is a lack of evidence supporting OT practice and that it can be difficult to integrate research findings into treatment. One question mentioned was should clients be quantified and reduced to variables as each person is unique?. Practitioners need to remember that research provides guidance for interventions, rather than step by step how-tos. It is up to the OT to use their judgment and experience to incorporate it.

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.

This study aims to discover the impacts of an occupational therapy driving intervention with returning combat veterans. A single-subject design with three phases was used and conducted by a certified driving rehabilitation specialist. The three phases included a baseline pre-test, intervention with three 1-hr training sessions, and a post-test. Participants were recruited from several VA clinical in northern Florida. Inclusion criteria for participants included service in OEF or OIF, presence of a mTBI or orthopedic injury with PTSD, participation in driving prior to medical condition, valid driver's license residence in community, score of a least 24/30 on Mini-Mental State Examination. Outcome measures included the OT-CDRS and Optec 2500 for visual abilities, Useful Field of View for visual attention and processing speed, MMSE for general cognitive abilities, Trail-Making Test Part B for shifting, foot tap test for peddle control in car and right lower extremity ROM. One subject was selected and showed improvements in outcome measures. The subject showed improvements in visual search skills post-intervention. Patient also showed improvements in his appropriateness of searching skills post-intervention. Patient was also shown to improve on his on-road communication skills and recognition of need to inform other road users of intended actions. Although there were improvements in the veterans driving abilities, the threats to internal validity pose limitations to the study. The investigators intend to use data and address limitations in the hopes of conducting a random-controlled trial with more participants.

Effectiveness of Interventions to Improve Social Participation, Play, Leisure, and Restricted and Repetitive Behaviors in People With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review This systematic review discusses a variety of interventions to improve social participation, play, leisure, and repetitive behavior for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This review found that social skills groups, the Picture exchange Communication System, joint attention interventions, and parent-mediated strategies can improve social participation. The interventions for the areas of play, leisure and repetitive behaviors weren't found to have quite at significant results.
