Book SynopsisAn At-Home Guide to Children's Sensory and Behavioral Problems gives a new perspective on sensory and behavior problems, one that sees those behaviors as stemming from a child's immature sensory nervous system and regulation difficulties.This book offers an effective at-home intervention, the Qigong Sensory Treatment, that enlists a parent''s attuned touch to address often overlooked sensory issues that underlie problem' behaviors and works to organize those sensory experiences to foster connection and the capacity for self-regulation. It introduces the reader to a new and clinically useful model to understand sensory development, the Early Childhood Self-regulatory Milestones which are critical to the emotional and behavioral health and regulation for all children. With clear step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and links to online instructional videos, it teaches parents how to successfully implement the daily QST hands-on routine. Unique to the treatment moTrade Review"An At-Home Guide to Children’s Sensory and Behavioral Problems is so much more than a wonderful introduction to the Qigong method of soothing children with sensory challenges. Garofallou and Silva have written a remarkable book about the remarkable power of touch for physical, emotional, cognitive, social and prosocial development. All parents – indeed, all of us – will benefit from reading this tour de force."Stuart Shanker, D.Phil, distinguished research professor emeritus of philosophy and psychology, founder of the MEHRIT Centre, Ltd., and Self-Reg Global Inc. "Touch, sensory processing and self-regulation are central to every child’s development. This book is bursting with richly detailed, yet clear and simple explanations of how these three key neurosensory domains work. It shows parents and clinicians how they can use touch to help children whose behavior says they need help to process their sensory experiences and regulate themselves. Parents and clinicians will also find here a similar approach - to give themselves the support they need to support their children’s growth and healing." Joshua Sparrow, MD, Brazelton Touchpoints Center, Boston Children’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School. "An At-Home Guide to Children’s Sensory and Behavioral Problems weds Eastern and Western traditions of soma and psyche into a seamless hands-on book to promote the optimal development of self-regulation in children through sensory co-regulation and emotionally attuned parenting. Illuminating and practical, this conceptually sound and functional book is a must have for parents and professionals alike." Gilbert M. Foley, Ed.D., IMH-E, co-author, Linking Sensory Integration and Mental Health: Nurturing Self-Regulation in Infants and Young Children and Mental Health in Early Intervention. "As a developmental behavioral pediatrician with over 25 years caring for families who have children with autism spectrum disorders, I am very excited to recommend Qigong Sensory Treatment for Parents & Clinicians: An At-Home Guide to Children’s Sensory and Behavioral Problems. This approach to therapeutic touch offers a new (and very ancient!) way to help children regulate not only their sensory systems; QST can have a real impact on the childrens’ emotional, physical, and behavioral self-regulation issues including sleep problems, tantrums, stomach upsets and even aggression. The book is nicely organized with many detailed helpful and practical suggestions for making QST soothing and enjoyable for the children. QST will be a welcome complement to more traditional behavioral and developmental interventions."

Book SynopsisFamily-Centred Assessment and Intervention in Pediatric Rehabilitation analyzes the effectiveness of Family-Centred Services (FCS) for children with disabilities or chronic illnesses. This text provides you with the exact definition of FCS and offers proof that parent involvement in children's treatment greatly enhances therapy. You can use the suggestions and methods to integrate parents into therapy, maximizing the family's intervention experiences and making your work more successful and effective.Many clinicians agree that families play a crucial part in deciding what intervention strategies are best for their children. From this text, you will learn that listening to parents and valuing parental input will give you insight into the goals, needs, and ambitions families have for their children. This enables you to choose, with the parent, the interventions that best suit your patientsâneeds and the needs of their families. In addition to information on how to integrate parents and families into intervention, Family-Centred Assessment and Intervention in Pediatric Rehabilitation offers suggestions that will improve your existing FCS or help you implement a family- centred approach, including: performing therapy in natural settings, such as school or home, to make changes in the children's social and physical environments acknowledging the grieving and adaptation process of families while being compassionate and understanding letting parents describe what they would like their child to be able to do and accomplish in the future putting the parentsâconcerns and requests first, enabling parents to deal with caring for their child supporting parents and reinforcing them when they have innovative and helpful ideas informing parents on the progress of their children and educating parents on methodologies and strategies used in FCSMany of the suggestions derived from the analysis of current data and original research in Family-Centred Assessment and Intervention in Pediatric Rehabilitation have immediate clinical applicability, allowing you to quickly adapt methods into your intervention processes. This text also provides you with information on types of evaluative methods, such as Measure of Processes of Care (MPOC) and Family-Centred Program Rating Scale (Fam PRS), that will help you determine if your FCS program is working efficiently. Emphasizing the goal of parent interaction in FCS services, Family-Centred Assessment and Intervention in Pediatric Rehabilitation offers methods that will improve your work with families and patients, making services more beneficial and relevant to the child and to their families.

Book SynopsisThis practical text supports occupational therapy students and educators as they navigate the opportunities and challenges of practice learning. Reflecting contemporary and innovative occupation-centred practice, it sets out a step-by-step guide to using this knowledge across a range of settings. The clear structure, templates, examples and strategies it presents demonstrate how contemporary theory can be used to inform and guide practice.Implementing Occupation-centred Practice is an essential resource for occupational therapy students during their placement preparation and throughout their placement. It also serves as a tool for practice educators who are looking for assistance in structuring learning for their students.Trade Review"Health care is finally focusing on health which creates a major opportunity for occupational therapists who focus on occupational performance or (doing), which we know enables participation (engagement), and we know participation contributes to well-being (health and quality of life). Occupational therapists do these things because of their special skill set and occupational lens. This book will support educators and challenge students to understand their unique and powerful role in enabling occupational performance." Carolyn Baum, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, USA"For students, this book is a self-guided resource that helps them transfer their knowledge to various practice settings. The guide reminds students that regardless of where they practice, two things constantly influence their interactions with clients: occupation-centered theories and the occupational therapy process. Therefore, the book provides a review of theories centered on occupation and a trove of guided activities for each step of the Occupational Therapy Intervention Process Model (OTIPM). While some students and practice educators may be unfamiliar with the OTIPM specifically, they will be familiar with the process it follows through the stages of occupational therapy assessment, goal setting, intervention and reassessment. The OTIPM lays out the steps of the reasoning and practice process shared by occupational therapists across settings. Therefore, students and educators who may not use the OTIPM per se will still benefit from the book’s structure and the self-guided activities that Dr. Dancza has created for each stage of the occupational therapy process." Barbara Hooper, Colorado State University, USA"Throughout the book, well-researched advice is given to students and educators on how best to proceed during placement, and the authors maintain an emphasis on staying occupation-focused during assessment, treatment, and re-evaluation. This is a practical resource that may become required reading for some placement programs."- Satya Olivier, OTA & PTATable of ContentsPART I: Foundations of occupation-centred practice 1 GUIDE TO THE BOOK 2 OCCUPATION-CENTRED PRACTICE AND REASONING 3 OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY THEORIES AND THE OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY PROCESS 4 KEY TOOLS OF THE OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST: OCCUPATIONAL PROFILING, ACTIVITY ANALYSIS AND OCCUPATIONAL PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS PART II : Step-by-step guide to the occupational therapy process 5 PREPARING FOR PLACEMENT 6 ESTABLISHING THE CLIENT-CENTRED PERFORMANCE CONTEXT 7 IDENTIFYING CLIENT’S REPORTED AND PRIORITIZED STRENGTHS AND PROBLEMS OF OCCUPATIONAL PERFORMANCE 8 OBSERVING CLIENT’S PERFORMANCE OF PRIORITISED TASKS AND IMPLEMENTING PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS 9 DEFINING AND DESCRIBING TASK ACTIONS THE CLIENT DOES AND DOES NOT PERFORM EFFECTIVELY (DOCUMENTATION) 10 ESTABLISHING, FINALISING OR REDEFINING CLIENT-CENTRED AND OCCUPATION-FOCUSED GOALS 11 CLARIFYING OR INTERPRETING THE REASON(S) FOR CLIENT’S PROBLEMS OF OCCUPATIONAL PERFORMANCE 12 INTERVENTION PHASE 13 RE-EVALUATION FOR ENHANCED AND SATISFYING OCCUPATIONAL PERFORMANCE PART III: Advice for educators and case studies 14 EDUCATION PRINCIPLES FOR LEARNING 15 CASE STUDIES IN PLACEMENT SETTINGS WITHOUT AN ESTABLISHED OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY ROLE (ROLE-EMERGING) 16 CASE STUDIES IN ROLE-ESTABLISHED PLACEMENT SETTINGS

Book SynopsisBrain Injury not only affects its victim, but those around them. In many cases, relatives are often overlooked despite facing many obstacles accepting and adjusting to a new way of life. Family Experience of Brain Injury showcases a unique collaboration between relatives of brain injured individuals and professionals from the field of neurorehabilitation. Family members from all different viewpoints tell their story and how the brain injury of a loved one has affected them.This book provides a space for those hidden and marginalised voices, the people who are in for the long haul, often dismissed by services and left to cope in isolation. By combining expert commentary with real life experiences, this book points towards sources of support, normalises the experience and provides a context for understanding the grief and losses of family members. Not only will the hard-earnt knowledge and wisdom evident in this book help educate health and social care staff, it hTrade Review"Stop for a moment and think about the person you love most. It may be a child, perhaps a wife, partner or husband, maybe your sister or brother.

Book SynopsisProsthetics and Patient Management: A Comprehensive Clinical Approach is an innovative text covering both upper and lower extremity prosthetics. All the information clinicians need to manage a range of patients with amputations and their disorders is available in this practical and all-inclusive text. Kevin Carroll and Joan E. Edelstein, together with internationally recognized leaders, present a multidisciplinary team approach to the care of a patient with an amputation. Prosthetics and Patient Management covers practical solutions to everyday problems that clinicians encounter, from early prosthetic management to issues facing the more advanced user. The text is divided into four sections encompassing the range of subjects that confront practitioners including Early Management; Rehabilitation of Patients with Lower Limb Amputation; Rehabilitation of Patients with Upper Limb Amputations; and Beyond the Basics, which includes special considerations for children and futuristic concepts. Prosthetics and Patient Management will provide expert guidance for dealing with a wide array of patients and is a must-have for clinicians and students in physical therapy, certified prosthetists, and orthopedists interested in the wide-ranging field of prosthetics and amputations. Trade Review"This book fulfils its aim of providing a comprehensive approach to prosthetics and patient management…..It is well laid out and progresses logically….. This would be useful in a physiotherapy department where patients are treated following amputation." — Penny Broomhead, Physiotherapy “I feel one of the most helpful aspects of this book was the Appendix. In this section, the authors included a physical therapy intake form, pain questionnaire and physical therapy evaluation form. I found these to be a good starting point for any therapist with little experience evaluating and treating this patient population.” — Kristen Kwiatkowski-Digwood, ADVANCE for Physical Therapists & PT Assistants “If there is a display of publications related to rehabilitation, you will be drawn by the montage cover to the new Carroll/Edelstein book. With photographs of five patients (three of them children) you probably will order it on the spot. . . Excellent photographs as well as references." — Jay Schleichkorn, PhD, PT, Dr. Jay’s E-Book Reports "The illustrations help to clarify descriptions of devices in the book….This is a good addition to a collection for those interested in amputee management and care. It is easy to read and easy to understand – well written overall." — Rachna H.

Occupational Science for Occupational Therapy articulates how occupational science research produces unique insights into occupation and increases the effectiveness of occupational therapy interventions. This text illustrates the four key types of knowledge now being researched in occupational science: descriptive, relational, predictive, and prescriptive. This text also offers a comprehensive review of occupational science’s history of emergence from the needs and interests of occupational therapy, conflicting origins and intents, and ongoing development as a discipline within academia. In Occupational Science for Occupational Therapy, Dr. Doris Pierce and an outstanding group of occupational scientists explain how their discoveries build the science and support practice. A rich variety of methods and perspectives mark the work of these career scientists as they respond to the knowledge base needs of occupational therapy. This fully evidence-based text also brings the research experience alive for occupational therapy students, describing the passions, challenges, and choices that are the reality of research as an occupation. All research chapters discuss how findings build both science and practice, including learning supports in which students can try out research activities, explore assessment, or develop interventions. Most importantly, Occupational Science for Occupational Therapy provides new and experienced practitioners a thorough exploration of the latest research in occupation-based practice. Occupational Science for Occupational Therapy synthesizes key works by occupational scientists, including a foreword by Dr. Elizabeth Yerxa, founder of the science. Occupational therapy and occupational science students, practitioners, and faculty will especially appreciate this book’s comprehensive coverage of work by current leaders of research on occupation-based practice.

Book SynopsisGlobal Perspectives in Professional Reasoning is the first text of its kind to address the broader scope of occupational therapy practice and the different types of professional reasoning that can be employed, including strategic, political, nonlinear, creative, and social reasoning. This text encompasses a wide range of thinking skills and cognitive processes used by occupational therapists, from reflecting on practice to solving problems, and from reasoning in the clinic to reasoning in the wider political, social, and cultural worlds.Marilyn B. Cole and Jennifer Creek and their contributors are therapists, educators, and scholars who have explored new areas of professional practice and written about the thought processes that reinforced their actions. The authors come from around the world, providing a global perspective while also demonstrating that occupational therapists within different cultures serve remarkably similar human needs: to be included in their communities, to have occupational choices, and to determine their own life course.Many of the contributors in Global Perspectives in Professional Reasoning have identified and analyzed their own thought processes as they tackled complex and challenging tasks, often in unfamiliar contexts. These challenging tasks have produced several entirely original conceptualizations of professional reasoning, such as development and spiritual reasoning. The contributors start by observing what is going on, try to make sense of the situation, and then work out what to do. Other contributors are fascinated by a theory, a policy, or an approach; study it; and then look for ways to utilize it in practice. Most of the time, contributors focus their attention on the process of reasoning rather than on the specific types of reasoning they are employing or on desired outcomes.Inside Global Perspectives in Professional Reasoning, each chapter charts the learning process that contributors went through as they extended their thinking skills and processes to meet the challenges they encountered. All the chapters describe reasoning in practice and all of them utilize theory.A broad and fresh take on professional reasoning in occupational therapy practice, Global Perspectives in Professional Reasoning is the perfect resource for occupational therapy students and clinicians who want to utilize reasoning to tackle the most complex and challenging of tasks.Table of ContentsAbout the Editors Contributing Authors Preface Foreword by Kit Sinclair, PhD Chapter 1 Introduction to the BookJennifer Creek, PhD and Marilyn B.

Book SynopsisAs the profession of occupational therapy continues to mature and expand its practice, the measurement of occupational performance is one of the key avenues that all practicing clinicians will need to explore and master. Measuring Occupational Performance: Supporting Best Practice in Occupational Therapy, Third Edition summarizes the measurement tools needed to assess client occupational performance, to provide the best intervention, and to document the effectiveness of that intervention. These measurement tools are not just a compilation of all that are available for measurement relevant to occupational therapy; they are an elite group of tools carefully selected by the editors through a process of rigorous theoretical, clinical, and scientific reasoning.In this Third Edition, Drs. Mary Law, Carolyn Baum, and Winnie Dunn have updated current chapters and added new topics that have not been covered in past editions, such as a chapter on measuring school performance, a key area of practice. Also included is a chapter on measurement principles and development to highlight the concepts common to all the measures included in the text. The Third Edition also has a focus on the best measures and measures that are used most frequently.Features of the Third Edition:•Offers insight into the importance of measuring functional performance, methodologies, measurement issues, and best approach for outcome measurement•Conveys a broad focus on occupational performance and offers examples from a wide range of practice settings and from multiple spots throughout the lifespan•Explains the technical aspects of measurement development and methodologies and which components of functioning are to be measured and how•Develops an understanding of the theoretical aspects and evidence for both standardized tests and non-standardized testsInstructors in educational settings can visit www.efacultylounge.com for additional material to be used for teaching in the classroom. New in the Third Edition: •Focus on strengths-based approaches•Measures health and disability at both individual and population levels using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)•An emphasis on evidence-based practice and using evidence from other disciplines, not just from occupational therapy•New chapter focused on school-based practice•New content on reliability, validity, and responsiveness•New content on goal attainment•Additional material on decision making in practiceIn this changing health care environment, Measuring Occupational Performance: Supporting Best Practice in Occupational Therapy, Third Edition explains how core values and beliefs can be put into everyday practice and is the essential reference manual for the evidence-based occupational therapy and occupational therapy assistant student and practitioner.Trade ReviewReviews from previous edition:""Its greatest strength is that the authors have successfully explained complex, material and the theoretical process involved in the easily understood manner. I highly recommend this book not only to occupational therapy students, occupational therapy practitioners, and occupational therapy educators but also to evidence-based practitioners, occupational performance researchers, and health care policy consultants."" - Rekha Chhatre, Revue Canadienne D’Ergotherapie""This is an excellent reference book for clinicians, academics, and students."" - Janet Fricke, Australian Occupational Therapy Journal""This book should be a welcome resource to practitioners because it so well integrates occupational performance measurement and best practice in occupational therapy."" - Jeffrey L. Crabtree, MS, OTD, OTR, FAOTA, Occupational Therapy in Health Care""This timely book fills a critical need in occupational therapy education and practice. The authors succeed in making the complex subject of measurement of occupational performance practical and digestible to all. It will be a valuable addition to the library of any student, educator, or practitioner."" - Meryl M. Picard, MSW, OTR, Doody Publishing"The authors intended this second edition book "to be a tool for the student occupational therapist and the practicing therapist as they strive to organize and classify their occupational therapy experiences to best serve their clients". An excellent job has been done of meeting that goal... The book is well written, well organized and easy to read. I recommend it as an excellent resource for new and experienced occupational therapists as well as for educators, health care administrators and policy writers." - Phyllis Straathof, Canadian Journal of Occupational TherapyTable of ContentsDedicationAcknowledgmentsAbout the EditorsContributing AuthorsPrefaceForeword by Linda Tickle-Degnen, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTAIntroduction: Foundations of Occupational Therapy Measurement PracticeChapter 1 Measurement in Occupational TherapyMary Law, PhD, FCAOT and Carolyn Baum, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTAChapter 2 Measurement Concepts and PracticesWinnie Dunn, PhD, OTR, FAOTAChapter 3 Understanding Measurement PropertiesSusan Magasi, PhD; Apeksha Gohil, BOT; Mark Burghart, MOT; and Anna Wallisch, MOTChapter 4 Guiding Therapist Decisions for Measuring Outcomes in Occupational TherapyMary Law, PhD, FCAOT and Joy MacDermid, BScPT, PhDChapter 5 Identifying Person Factors That Impact Occupational Performance AssessmentMonica S.

Book SynopsisInterprofessional Evidence-Based Practice: A Workbook for Health Professionals promotes active, team learning of interprofessional evidence-based practice (EBP). This book is distinctive in that it departs from the tradition of evidence-based practice occurring from a single disciplinary perspective. Interprofessional evidence-based practice is described in terms of a dynamic team process that blends the patient’s preferences and values, the expertise of practitioners from multiple disciplines, and incorporates multidisciplinary evidence. Teams learn to use the nine phases in the interprofessional process to challenge current disciplinary paradigms and biases to create an integrated approach to patient care, healthcare delivery, or population health.Drs. Penelope Moyers and Patricia Finch Guthrie focus on developing and fostering collaboration between academic institutions and healthcare organizations so that students and faculty participate on interprofessional teams with mentors and staff from a healthcare organization. Interprofessional Evidence-Based Practice: A Workbook for Health Professionals also addresses the communication and cross-organizational factors important for supporting the work of the team. Common team and mentoring issues encountered in EBP are clearly articulated, along with the iterative problem-solving approaches necessary to mitigate temporary “stumbling blocks.”The book provides detail for developing and launching an Interprofessional Evidence-Based Practice program that goes beyond the evidence process to include implementation science to support practice change. Approaches for developing partnerships for supporting this type of program between universities and health care institutions are contained within, including sample partnership agreements and resource-sharing strategies.Inside Interprofessional Evidence-Based Practice: A Workbook for Health Professionals, each chapter includes performance objectives, key words, checklists, and materials and resources that an interprofessional team can use. PowerPoint lectures, mentor newsletters, forms, tools, and other resources are included on a companion website to guide team learning about key EBP topics, as well as to support the program coordinators and team mentors in their work with the interprofessional teams.Interprofessional Evidence-Based Practice: A Workbook for Health Professionals is the go-to resource for those who want to engage in interprofessional evidence-based practice, and for leaders who want to develop and implement an interprofessional evidence-based practice program.Trade Review“This is a remarkable resource for interprofessional, evidence-based practice with both theoretical and practical resources. The significance of training health professionals to engage in interprofessional collaboration cannot be overlooked in this changing healthcare arena.” - Yolanda Griffiths, OTD, OTR/L, FAOTA, College of Saint Mary, Doody’s Review ServiceTable of ContentsDedicationAcknowledgmentsAbout the AuthorsContributing AuthorsForeword by Mary Fran Tracy, PhD, RN, APRN, CNS, FAANIntroduction Section I Preparation for an Interprofessional Evidence-Based Practice Program Chapter 1 Getting StartedPenelope A.

Book SynopsisFieldwork education links education and practice and is a critical extension of occupational therapy curricula. Yet, despite its importance, the theory and practice of fieldwork education has remained relatively free of research, theory, development, or training for those who direct the learning of students. The chapters in this essential book, each of which offers several learning exercises, address these gaps in the occupational therapy knowledge base, providing a theoretical, and philosophical framework, correcting myths, and forging a connection between the theory and practice of clinical education and supervision. For OT and OTA students, this book will encourage an active learning experience. For new practitioners, the book will help identify a body of knowledge not learned in school. For fieldwork educators, this book will assist with self-assessment and encourage creating a professional development plan that will further refine supervision skills. For managers of practice settings, the book will provide a theoretical base for the administrative, supportive, and educational functions of clinical supervision.

Book SynopsisOccupational therapy practitioners use clinical reasoning in all areas of practice to determine who needs intervention, the most effective interventions, and expected outcomes. Successful professionals also use clinical reasoning to confidently assimilate new information, make decisions, argue well, and advocate for clients.A particular challenge facing occupational therapy students and novice practitioners is that actual clients do not always fit a typical clinical picture. This text guides readers in learning how to identify relevant clinical data among the diverse details of clients’ histories, interests, comorbidities, and lifestyles through fully developed case examples that guide reasoning through hypothesis refinement and changing situations.This essential text is aligned with the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework and integrates frames of reference and evidence in practical ways. Learning activities challenge readers to thoughtfully integrate what they are learning into their own ways of reasoning.Designed with the belief that systematic use of clinical reasoning strategies streamlines and supports using responsible, cost-effective interventions, Clinical Reasoning in Occupational Therapy guides students and practitioners in thinking efficiently, flexibly, and critically, providing clients with the best possible care.Table of Contents Part I.
