After spending this rotation in the preschool setting, this article really resonated with me. I haven't been able to spend an entire school year with the children to witness the full extent of their progress but I have seen through videos and personal accounts just how far many of our students have come over the years at our preschool and early intervention program. Research is included in this article that indicates that children who attend a full day preschool program have increased readiness for kindergarten. This is compared to children who don't attend preschool or only attend half day programs. The article also talks about many of the benefits for children and families while having the children attend preschool programs.

These researchers utilized surfing for those with PTSD to assist when transitioning back into civilian life. They chose this sport to ensure attendance and retention in their program. The results showed that sport-oriented therapy can be used/beneficial when re-integrating veteran's into a civilian lifestyle.

This study consisted of 65 older adults who participated in a wellness program held at senior living apartments. This program aimed to teach older adults the importance of active engagement in meaningful occupation and social participation. They found that the individuals who benefited the most from this program attended more classes, were older, and did not drive.

This article focused on determining the trend of practicing Occupational therapists that utilize research to form their evidence-based practice. The article mentions how this is a vital component to a medically-based profession. To examine this question a two page survey was sent out across the country to occupational therapists across various clinical settings. The results demonstrated that the majority of practitioners have access to the relevant information required for evidenced-based practice, whether through online journals or seminars. Also, the data illustrated the higher rates of accessing information correlated positively with higher academic degrees attained. Barriers found to the implementation of such practice included cost of attending such courses as well as lack of convenience accessing online databases. Ultimately, it seems that lack of time appeared to be the greatest barrier to pursuing and attaining such information. Overall, I feel the results demonstrate the change in culture that is occurring within the profession. However, if this change is to become permanent we as the future of the profession must continue to push this ideal forward and assist the profession into the coming years.

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.
