    In working in a school system with many COTA's, I am learning the responsibilities OT's have in supervising COTA's. I found these frequently asked questions about the responsibilities of OT's and COTA's in a school system and I think its something worth looking at if working in a school system. Unfortunately, these are through the state of Nevada board of OT. I tried looking up information on Ohio's responsibilities but could only find a PowerPoint, which I could not bookmark for Diigo. If interested further in OT and COTA's responsibilities, look into comparing the state of Nevada and Ohio's regulations.

    This article discusses the paradigm shift in health care towards evidence based and client centered practice to increase patient outcomes by linking payment to performance. In this type of system it is important to define OTs distinct value so that it does not get pushed out. There needs to be an increase in evidence that shows the efficacy of OT interventions. Overall, there needs to be the development of quality measures so that OTs can evaluate and document their contributions to patient outcomes.

    This article talks about many ways we can promote OT and it's value including research and promoting independence with our patients. It suggests that with the change in the legal system, it's important that we pave the way for new areas of practice. It also provides resources for therapists to use to promote the value of OT in a variety of settings.

SUPERVISION OF ASSOCIATED HEALTH TRAINEES- VA Handbook - 0 views

    This exert is specifically from the VA handbook in regards to supervision specifically for health professionals and trainees. This resource provides a strict breakdown of the supervision requirements for supervisors and trainees. It is clear through this policy that strict guidelines are to be followed within this system and this is what I have experienced in my time there. I was intrigued however, that supervisory roles are seen as an educational experience. The following tenet was the first under supervisor regulation--" Supervision is an educational experience provided by a qualified supervising practitioner with a trainee. This relationship is evaluative, extends over time, and has the simultaneous purposes of enhancing the professional functioning of the trainee while monitoring the quality of services delivered. Supervision is provided through observation, consultation, directing the learning and activities of the trainee, and role modeling". I feel that this really stressing the educational importance of being a supervisor.

    This article talks about the positive effect lavender essential oils can have on the nervous system. While at my site I got to use essential oils quite often with my peds patients as another for of sensory stimulation. The most interesting way I got to use it was providing my extreme sensory-seeking ped with an essential oil charm, which we use peppermint oil in, for when she returns to school so that she is better able to attend to her classroom work. It was incredible to see the positive effect it has on her, and how excited she was to use it. Kristy, my FE, also used essential oils in a "smelling game" for peds, in which she would put a few drops of an essential oil on a tissue in a cup, do this with a few different oils, peds patients were then placed prone in the net swing and asked to spin around and either find their favorite scent, or to smell each cup and identify the scent. This works both for sensory seekers & sensory avoiders.

    This article focuses on the occupational therapists role in a school setting. OT's help students to adapt to routines, and perform competently in academic tasks. It also discusses the role that OT's play in treating children with autism in the school system.

    This link can provide a lot of relevant information on Allen's Cognitive levels. I went to it a lot when putting together my presentation for my second rotation. Being out in the field it is nice to use an assessment that comes with an entire system basically. ACL are backed up by years of research and is something we should keep in mind. I think one of my weak points is challenging cognitive patients with appropriate activities. ACL can really help close the gap to get good fit activities for your cognitively impaired patients.

Factors affecting ethical behavior in pediatric occupational therapy: A qualitative study - 0 views

    This study aimed to identify the factors influencing ethical behavior of pediatric occupational therapists at work. The researchers conducted a study of 12 currently practicing pediatric occupational therapists. Researchers interviewed these therapists with questions regarding factors affecting ethical beliefs and ethical behaviors. From the interviews, 4 main themes were revealed: 1. organizational factors (some participants believed lack of human resources or therapy space impacted ethical behaviors), 2. therapist related factors (some therapists believed that things such as self esteem, competence, family/home life all impacted ethical behaviors), 3. client family issues (some therapists thought that a child's family/parents could impact a therapists ethical behaviors. For example, a parent may instruct a therapist NOT to stop a child for crying, versus other parents instructing the therapist to punish the child for crying), and 4. Social factors (some participants believed that social factors, such as an overall societal decline in ethical behaviors, such as not having financial support systems or insurances not covering occupational therapy and thus causing for mistakes. In another perspective, participants pointed out that in the past if a patient could not pay for services the therapist would still help them, but now therapy can only be provided if they can pay for it or have enough insurance.

Treatment of reflex sympathetic dystrophy using the stress-loading program - 0 views

    This article talks about a stress-loading, also known as the "Scrub & Carry Program," beneficial for patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome/Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. This program entails stressing the body part, typically a hand in hopes of the nervous system regulating the pain signals it is sending to the brain. Patients using this program will "scrub" using a brush or the Dystrophile and scrubbing foreward/backward & side-to-side, initially starting for 3 minutes at a time and gradually increasing. Then patients are to carry a weighted object, to their tolerance, in the affected hand for as much of the day as possible. We used this with a patient who had a traumatic work place amputation to his ring finger, and deep laceration (down to the bone) to his middle finger and was starting to show signs of RSD. Though he has poor compliance with this program at home, we did see some benefit from it in the clinic.
