Xquisite Jen;...you will soon acknowledge that OT  largely overlaps with other areas of allied health. ..Good luck ! for your masters

[markangeloc]

OT's where created during the WW1 to assist the psychiatrist with the increased population of disabled soldiers,and are known as the experts on activity analysis, as well as helping with restoration of lost function or occupation. It rather ignorant of you to make such remarks of our profession.

[vk452937]

Occupational therapy is a false science; simply a redundant to Physical therapy

[XquisiteJen]

i think thats very ignorant to say that because I went to school for physical therapy and now I'm getting my masters in occupational therapy and its very different

@vk452937 OT and PT have a lot of similarities, but OT is a lot more concerned with being functionally independent.....rather just being able to move

Hi. Your videos are great!

Please write the names of all those books down in the "About This Video" section. The lighting in the vid makes it too hard to see and read the covers.

Thanks.

I'm wondering if this balance thing is related to the swaying habit of many autistics. That rhythmic stimulation might be soothing, much like swinging on a swing-set is soothing to me.

Also, all you need is a doctor's order to get occupational therapy for yourself or your child.

[vide0kay]

you can copyright a treatment with a brush? that's kind of heartless of them.

so i can get my kid treated? no, sorry, no one with the ip rights is available. good thing haircuts aren't copyrighted. and thank god toothbrushing is in the public domain...

[whitetigerdream]

The Wilbarger's say that it is their intellectual property and only licensed occupational therapists are able to supervise it's use. They do have a point. There are areas in the treatment where people get really emotional and they need support and to know it's ok.

I had OT as a Kid.

This is amazing. I haven't done the OT approach for sensory issues.
