Frames of Reference for Pediatric Occupational Therapy

by Paula Kramer

Overview

Frames of Reference for Pediatric Occupational Therapy, Fourth Edition , uses frames of reference (neuro-development, social participation, etc.) as effective blueprints for applying theory to pediatric OT practice. Updated with new chapters, case examples, and a new focus on evidence-based practice. This proven approach helps students understand the “why” of each frame of reference before moving on to the “how” of creating effective treatment programs to help pediatric clients lead richer, fuller lives.
The book first covers the foundations of frames reference for pediatric OT (Section I), and then covers commonly used frames of reference such as motor skill acquisition, biomechanical, and sensory integration (Section II). A final section discusses newer focused/specific frames of reference like handwriting skills and social participation. A standardized format within each frame of reference chapter covers the same elements (Theoretical Base, Supporting Evidence, the Function/Dysfunction Continuum, Guide to Evaluation, and Application to Practice) to help students build the knowledge and skills needed for effective practice.

• Case Examples illustrate frames of references in action.
• NEW! Additional frames of reference —STAR approach to Sensory Processing Disorders, Anxiety and Depression in school age children, and a Strength Based Approach for Adolescents with Autism—are covered in three new chapters to better prepare students for everyday practice.
• NEW! Supporting Evidence sections in frames of reference chapters cover the evidence supporting each theory.
• EXPANDED! Evaluation sections cover new assessment instruments available to the OT practitioner and now include new real-world examples.
• NEW! Color images of actual clinicians working with actual patients , along with a wide range of updated photos and charts, illustrate key concepts and applications.
• Essential terms are defined within the theoretical base in each frame of reference
• Practical sections on the “Function/Dysfunction Continuum” indicate the severity of the dysfunction and outline the level of needed intervention.

Editorial Reviews

This is a comprehensive text with a description of the nine frames of reference most frequently used in pediatric occupational therapy. Originally published in 1993, this updated text presents a definition of each frame of reference from a theoretical viewpoint, and a description of how to identify problems and effect remediation based each frame. In addition, the use of frames of reference is addressed in the context of daily life activities to promote optimal functioning in home, school, and community. The purpose is to present frames of reference in a structured format to assist occupational therapists in assessment, in development of intervention strategies, and in designing therapeutic programs to improve the functional performance of children. This text is primarily written for entry level occupational therapy students and post professional students for use in courses that are designed for the instruction of pediatric evaluation, intervention, and theories. The text is also useful for occupational therapists who wish to enter into the area of pediatric practice from other areas of practice. Occupational therapists who currently work in the area of pediatrics will find this text useful in updating their knowledge of application of theory into practice. The text covers nine current frames of reference frequently used in the practice area of pediatric occupational therapy. Several of the more well-known theories are described, such as the Neuro-Developmental Treatment Frame of Reference, Biomechanical Frame of Reference, and Sensory Integration Frame of Reference, as well as newer ones, such as Motor Skill Acquisition Frame of Reference, and Occupational Frame of Reference. Thetheory development of each frame of reference is clearly discussed, as well as descriptions of function and dysfunction according to each frame of reference, assessment strategies, principles of intervention, integration of activities, and applications into practice. The authors employ photographs and tables to illustrate and structure concepts. The final five chapters are case studies that demonstrate practical application of frames of reference. In addition, the authors emphasize through the case studies that several frames of reference can be used concurrently with the same child, therefore providing more comprehensive therapeutic programming. This second edition provides clear and concise descriptions of current theory, and practical applications of theory for use in therapeutic programming for children. This text is unique in that it illustrates how to use theories as an assessment guideline to determine a child's functional skill capacity, instead of only viewing the child from their diagnosis and deficits. This text would then be a welcome adjunct to texts that describe developmental disabilities. The only other text that provides information about theories and frame of reference is Case-Smith's Occupational Therapy for Children, 3rd Edition (Mosby-Year Book, Inc., 1996). With changes in healthcare delivery and with public laws regarding occupational therapy service provision in early intervention programs and in school systems, it is paramount that occupational therapists remain up-to-date in their understanding of theoretical rationale, accurate problem identification, and in problem remediation.

Provides essential knowledge in pediatric practice in occupational therapy, organized through the structure of frames of reference rather than diagnostic categories. Section I presents chapters on foundations, and Section II presents frames of reference, with material on areas such as neurodevelopmental treatment, sensory integration, and motor skills acquisition. Each frame of reference delineates theoretical information, defines essential terms, and contains information necessary for the therapist to move from theory to practice. This second edition contains three new frames of reference, and four new case studies. For entry-level occupational therapy students. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
