    This study is of particular interest to me after completing my fieldwork in a school system. I had the chance to work with many students who presented with emotional disturbances. I never worked with students based solely on goals associated with these emotional disturbances, but observed and attempted to proved treatment for their emotional disturbances after first working toward their school based goals. Typically these disturbances presented themselves as depression, aggression, and irritability. It was heartbreaking to look around the school and see how many students were affected by some form of emotional disturbances. Unfortunately as a school OT I was only to focus on goals that would make the student more functional in school (such as handwriting) and never had the ability to write goals base on a student's emotions. I believe that there is a great need for occupational therapists to focus on writing goals to provide interventions to students with emotional disturbances. In my setting there were not enough OT's/COTA's to work with all of the students who had emotional disturbances because there were so many students who first required school based interventions. This study suggests that more evidence-based research is needed to help school therapists work with children with emotional disturbances. I hope that eventually there will be a place for OT's in this area.

    This looks at how a student's social and emotional development may affect their academic development. My school currently has some kids on the caseload for social and emotional development reasons only. Is this an area school-based OTs should focus on?

    This article provides a summary by AOTA's Evidence-Based Practice Project of current evidence available in multiple areas which OT is involved with adults with TBI. By providing a summary of the current evidence available, OTs looking to be involved in research can use this information to create new research questions and see in which areas more evidence is needed to support OT. The areas summarized include arousal and alertness of people in a coma, motor function, cognitive impairment, visual-perceptual impairment, psychosocial/behavioral/emotional impairments, areas of occupation, and social participation.

    Individuals experiencing mental health disorders are susceptible to impairments in occupational functioning due to decreased concentration, memory, thought processes, insight, judgement, decision-making, reality orientation, regulating emotions, understanding perception, motivation, and psycho-motor activity. This is a quantitative study out of the South American Journal of Occupation Therapy that studied the effects of slow vs. fast tempo of music on symptoms of psychosis during occupation. There were 160 individuals with diagnosed psychological disorders in a psych hospital in South Africa. The subjects participated in a leatherwork activity while listening to either fast paced/upbeat music or low tempo/slow music. Attention/focus, ability to follow instructions, directedness towards the activity, and motivation were measured in groups of individuals who had psycho-motor agitation or psycho-motor inhibition psychosis. The study found that listening to music during an activity has the ability to improve all three variables in both agitation and inhibited-motor psychosis. Fast-paced tempo significantly improves attention in individuals with inhibited motor-psychosis. The ability to follow instructions improved in both fast and slow tempo music for both agitated and inhibited individuals. Directedness and motivation did not significantly improve in any of the groups. This study indicates that music can improve the ability to perform occupations and activities in individuals with mental health disorders. Music is very individualized and it may be difficult for OT practitioners to work with groups of individuals when introducing music. IT is important for an OT to gather a good understanding of a patient's preferences and determine if they would be a good candidate for the use of music during therapy. More research is recommended in this area to further determine the effects of music on occupation in this population.

    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.

    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).

    This article delves into how OT's receive a strong educational component in psychosocial development and pathology. The article explains how this understanding provides the basis for understanding the impact of upper extremity dysfunction on key daily activities and roles. It elaborates on how course work in mental health gives OT's the skills to evaluate clients' psychosocial and emotional needs, modify the treatment approach to facilitate compliance with the rehabilitation program, and promote the best outcome possible.

5 Signs of Elder Abuse | Watch for Neglect, Mistreatment, or Abuse - 0 views

    I am posting this article on the signs of elder abuse as it will be our ethical responsibility to report abuse if we see these signs in the workplace. The article is easy to read and quick to point out 5 types of abuse and what to look for in each type. The fist is physical abuse and the signs for these are bruises, broken bones, burns, abrasions, pressure marks, and odd explanations of injuries from staff or caregivers. The next type of abuse is neglect and the signs for this are dirty cloths, soiled diapers, bedsores, unusual weight loss, unusually messy home that wasn't before, and lack of DME. The next type of abuse is verbal or emotional abuse and the warning signs associated include, withdrawal, unusual behavior, nervous behavior around caregiver, strained or tense relationship with caregiver or staff, forced isolation from family or caregiver, and caregivers or staff that snap or yell. The article also describes signs of sexual abuse and signs of financial exploitation. As OTs it will be our duty and ethical responsibility to report elder abuse. Home health and SNF are probably the two most prominent areas of practice that might see this problem.

    This article discusses the benefits of play for children. Play helps children grow and enables them to gain skills like physical coordination, emotional maturity, social skills. As a child, play is a major occupation and this article sheds some light on those benefits.
